General Classic White

Good stuff

Snus newbie here, reviewing to log my initial mass sampler order.

This is a solid snus, tastes much like a cup of earl gray. The thing is I tried the ONE Vit first and this feels like a step down from that, mainly it's a bit weaker all around (taste and nicotine) so if that's what yer after you might prefer it. Very solid snus but I prefer the Vit.

My first and still a good friend, terrible can though

This was my first swedish snus in the states, and it remains an absolute favorite

Very citrus and tobacco forward and about 10 minutes in when it starts to drip a great saltiness comes along to play

They last about 1-2 hours the portions are filled just right and the material is great, is a classic from swedish match and it remains popular for a reason

I would remove a star because of the cans we are stuck with in the US, but this is because after some disagreement with our FDA I understand SM had to return the can shape to the one with the rounded corners, which does NOT hold up to back pockets, after a day of sitting on the can, the friction is gone and the lid falls off.

Where this isn't exactly SM's fault, this product still gets the 5 stars it deserves, but I am left wondering why SnusCentral is sending american cans instead of swedish

A True Classic

As many others this was my first local gas station go at Snus, yet even after trying countless online order only brands I will always have a tin of this on hand and thankfully can be obtained between orders. To me this tastes just like Earl Grey Tea, and pairs great with it. Good for early mornings when you don't want to be kicked in the face with nicotine.

My first Snus

Like many Americans, this was my introduction to Snus. Like many Americans the can I got, from the local gas station, was outdated.... By a year. It still convinced me that Snus was the new big thing in my baccy life.

Traditionally Flavored

A traditionally bergamot flavored snus with a blend of high-quality tobaccos. Very potent bergamot, lemon, and saltiness that can be overbearing at times but a good option for U.S. snusers.

A Favorite

I don't know what it is about the mix of this, but it's near perfect. I haven't had any one I like more.

The original portions are just as good, but has a slightly different flavor.

Just the right amount of salt and drips exactly enough, that is to say you might need to have a sip of something to drink handy to avoid a dry throat. I don't think that's a bad thing. I like snus for the flavor and if it's too dry I find myself shifting it around and licking the portion to get the taste, so that's just right.

A all day snus

The best I have tried by General. Soft portion, no irritation material. I get minimal drip. After about 15 mins. or so is when the citrus comes out. And the salt just adds to the flavor. Give it a try.

Nice Standby

I always put off trying this because it seemed so "boring," but I'm glad I gave it a fair shot. General Classic White is actually interesting! It's got the lemony, Earl Grey tea-like character that I look for in my Go-To snus. Overall, the bergamot flavor seems too mild for my personal taste and comes off like strong lemongrass, which is the only reason for 4 stars. The pouches are stuffed slightly more full than most other snus, which is a huge plus. It drips a bit sooner and runs a bit more than some white pouches, but not bad enough for me to care. I like mixing in some of these in my General ONYX can and I feel like I got the perfect mix. The flavors are very similar, the ONYX just being the more intense version (flavor and nic) and having that extra strong lemon kick I really like.

good and easy

glad I can find this at gas stations around SoCal.. would I order it from SnusCentral? no. If I'm going to pay shipping, I go for more exotic flavors and higher nicotine. The General White tastes great and provides the nicotine we all crave.

Nice snus

nice mellow flavor, like the white portions.

Bought a pack that was expired from a gas station so the portions were a little dry BUT still great none the less. Drips a little harsh but tastes amazing.....like a cup of quality white tea. Nicotine wasn't too intense but definitely there, co workers told me they noticed me mellow out after I put it in (work in a kitchen) so it managed to combat the stress that comes with such work. All in all a great product, I'm sure its phenomenal if you enjoy before the "best before" date.

I have used this Snus, purchased locally (Florida). It was the second Swedish Snus that I ever tried. I use two portions at a time, of whatever Snus inhappen to be using. When I first tried this, as soon as I tasted it I spit one out. I was not expecting it to taste like it did, and it caught me off guard. I did eventually end up using the whole can, but I would use one mint portion with one of these portions. It actually started to grow on me a little, but it is not something that I would prefer. It tastes of tobacco, pepper, salt, and some sort of citrus.

Today, I just opened a can of Goteborgs Rape that I received in my first Bag O' Snus. That is my main purpose of writing this review today. As soon as I tasted the Goteborgs, I thought it tasted exactly like this General White. People with more refined palate may be able to differentiate between the two, but I cannot. Anyway, for that reason, I suggest that if you like one of these two, you should give the other one a try.

Not sure how many stars I should give. For my personal taste, I would probably give a 3. But, I really appreciate the quality of General Snus, and I imagine a lot of people would like this; so, I think it deserves a 4.

Another General winner! I notice hints of Earl Grey tea in this one, and it's a great day to day snus.

This one has quickly become another one of my favorites. It reminds me a lot like other Swedish match snus, like Goteborg Rape and Ettan. Those are two of my favorites, and I think It has a great flavor that lasts a long time, there is no burn, the saltiness is just about perfect, and it lasts an hour or better. This one is definitely going onto my Top Ten list. I look forward to trying the other General styles.

This was my first snus and I still use it today. Great flavor, though a bit salty, and a decent nic hit but if your trying to quit smoking I suggest something stronger like General Onyx or Thunder frosted long strong portions. General white portion is a great all day snus and the flavor lasts about 2 hours.

A staple for me. not my everyday snus but I always have it on hand. Exactly as the description says as far as taste and a great snus for beginners.

General White portion certainly has that characteristic General flavor of salt, tobacco, and citrus. The mix of flavor is good with perhaps a bit more emphasis on the citrus. Tobacco flavor is definitely there, but the citrus lingers for quite a long time. The flavor overall is long lasting. It is a very pleasant snus and I heartily recommend it to new snusers (veterans will not need my opinion lol).

I really dont like this snus to much. To my buds It taste on the lines of Onyx but has more salt. It does not seem to be as smooth as onyx. If im going to use General i would rather use Onyx. Im sure i wont buy this one again.

The flavor of this is almost exactly like the description. A good clean refreshing, yet very mild citrus flavor, with a hin tof pepper.
