General Classic Original - Expert Review

General Original Portion: When it comes to the classic, traditional taste of Swedish Snus, it doesn’t get any better. General Snus is the trend-setter for the classic taste of bergamot and tobacco, and delivers an experience that is uniquely Swedish! Since 1866, General Snus has been the standard-bearer for what a traditional Swedish Snus should taste like, and General Original Portion is one of the best representations of that flavor. Well, second to General Loose, of course.

If you want to experience Swedish Snus, this is it. This is the experience. Opening up the can, the aroma that jumps out is otherworldly.

They fill out the lip well, and immediately release the delicious flavor profile. The flavor is top notch. This snus just exudes quality. You can tell it’s premium. The bergamot flavor is present, and delivers a nice, tart, beautiful taste of citrus. Behind it you'll encounter a rich, semi-dark, robust tobacco base. There’s some spicy notes of pepper that wrap the whole package up quite nicely. The nicotine delivers at the regular level, and provides a steady, stable delivery. The flavor lasts a good 45 to 55 minutes, on average.
