"General Green Harvest, White Portion
Limited Edition!

General Green Harvest is the world's only snus that is grown by certified tobacco farmers without pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

A full-bodied, spicy tobacco taste with pronounced notes of bergamot and hints of hay, green grass and stable. "



Sounds intriguing... the city boys' version of the country hicks' favorite munchin' straw.
Gotta wonder how limited this edition might be.

The description reminds me of Gotland's Yellow.

I doubt it's 'green' in the truest sense of the term as understood commonly. It's in a plastic can. How much extra labor and shipping went into sourcing and delivering this stuff?

I'm all for pesticide and herbicide free. Norman Borlaug might disagree, but he's dead. I doubt tobacco is high on the list of ecologically responsible crops that need attention. I would think people who cared about that sort of thing wouldn't be tobacco users to begin with.

I'll be trying some though.

The more 'natural' the better in my book. I just have a pet peeve about marketing things as 'green' or 'natural' because the standard of identity for either claim is not agreed upon by most institutions. I purveys an air of superiority that may or may not be justified.

Arsenic is natural.

I'd think there was no extra labour, or rather there was probably a lot more, but most if not all the extra labour was not detrimental to the environment, because it was grown and harvested by the humble Amish, who have never touched petroleum chemicals in their lives. They claim that the tobaccos used in the regular general white come from all over the world, so shipping wise there'd be no difference. I agree with you on the plastic can though, I think that if they used a paper can like they use for los, it'd be more legitimate

Earthy, flavor comes on after about 20mins, and I love it.

Almost taste like ettan and the portions are cotton soft.

May have to order a roll.

[WolfenJack]

Okay it's settled, it'll be on my next order.

[clint404]

Actually I don't want to be caught with my pants down. I need to order about 5-6 rolls of it. I love it. I got GH with a few cans of thunder chocomint and I thought I would like the thunder more. No was the thunder is a good after meal snus but GH is what I'm keeping in while passing time. This stuff is spot on the snus I've always wanted.

It's only "meh" for me, won't be buying it anytime soon. Nice can though ;-)

Rick you rascal!

Anyways I agree Clint the stuff is great. I'd order rolls if I could. It has a really good flavor to it. I fell in love with the one can I had. I hate to be a jinx, but I bet it'll be discontinued just like my beloved claq.. and general wintergreen still around!! Jesus when buysnus did free shipping they were actually sold out of the garbage.

Am I the only one who can't detect any bergamot/citrus? To me it tastes similar to natural cigar tobacco, and that's it.

I seriously think I'm going to order about 5 logs of this during my next order. This snus is absolutely excellent, the flavor profile is close to that of General WP however, the taste is more earthy and less artificial than General WP. Definitely a beloved snus of mine, I sure hope General does not get rid of it!

Its not as strong but when you leave the portion in for 15+ mins I taste the citrus then. To me that's when its best. To me General mint is best right when its put in and GH is the opposite. Everyone has a different pallet and might not enjoy it as much as I do.

that tells me enough that it is probably not strong enough in flavor for me. The hay thing also

I tried an experiment today.

I put 4 fresh and moist thunder chrome coola portions in a tin with about 10 GH portions and let it sit for a day. I'm in love now. The flavor of the coola for some odd reason complements the GH base flavor and is quite enjoyable. If you have both of these I recommend trying it.

[clint404]

Or you could squeeze a coola portion between two GH portions and let some of the coola goodness ooze into the GH
