General White

[Lcarvone]

I hate to say it but I am not a fan of this one....yet. The peppery notes hit me too hard at first and the citrus notes are too lemon peel with a little too much floral character. As most know the whole bergamot profile is not one most Americans prefer unless they are fans of Earl Grey and I am afraid I am in this category. To be honest it does get better after 30 minutes or so but of the two cans I have on hand (yes true newbie) I have two portions of General Mint White left and about 15 of this variety.

I really want to like this snus. I love the taste; however I am constantly getting saliva build up from it. General orig doesn't do this to me... is it the salt content in the white?

I'm not putting the snus in my lower lip. *shrug*

The further back you put it, the more drip you get. Try putting it closer to the front of your mouth. Welcome to SnusOn btw.

It seems that one side of my gum lets the snus slide back further than the other.

Thanks Veganpunk! \m/

I'm having my first wp after a stint with General OP. This was one of my first swedish snuses, and when I first tried it, I felt like I had a bag of salt in my mouth. Now that I'm a bit more used to the salt balance thang, I get it. A tobacco taste with black pepper and elements of citrus. It's all the goods of the general flavor profile without the "dirty" aftertaste of original portions. I may have a new everyday snus.

Way too much bergamot or juniper or whatever that disgusting crap is they put in some snus. Can't taste tobacco at all. If you like bergamot or juniper though you will love this stuff.

If you like white portions, I'd give Grov and Ettan White a try. They don't have any bergamot -- just smoke flavor to enhance the tobacco.

Yes I love Ettan and grove is good too but there is a little bit of that flavor there. I found Thunder Frosted and Probe to also be very good without that flavor. But for just tobacco flavor I find Ettan and Pioneer the best!

What is there to say? This is the ''real experience'' for many people. I like it aswell. A good everyday snus with the traditional flavour.

The General White is growing on me, a bit dry and it actually burns (salt) my gum somewhat, almost like salting an open wound but it diminishes. The peppery flavor reminds me of plain ol' nicorette, but the citrus really rounds it out in a positive way (tastes like Earl Grey tea). I at first didn't like it, thought it to be bland after having tried the Mint flavor. But as of today I am actually enjoying it with a nice cup of black coffee(goes really well together) and may very well be one of my favorites until I do a bulk order of other types.

Initially it was a 7.5/10, but now its more like a 9/10 as it grows on you and you are able to taste the different flavors throughout its use. Top notch!

General White is my everyday snus at work. That being said I prefer a milder flavour such as Ettan Lös to start my day when my morning palette can't handle too much.

First off, my first post!

General - White portion is my favorite snus to date. If I had to complain about one thing with it, I wish it would last longer. The strong flavor seems to come on and go away too quick. Either way, still my favorite to date. Granted, I haven't tried a lot of brands/flavors yet. Goes good with a beer too!

Best snus ever made. Hands down.

The flavor is a peppery/salty tobacco with hints of lemon. I compare all others against it.

Truly a great snus. I love the aroma of General White as much as the taste. To me it smells like a field of wild flowers.

I haven't been snusing for too long and General White were the first cans that I used.. didn't like them too much. Didn't like bergamot, I didn't dislike it but there was something about it that did not please me.

Yesterday I tried General Lós and I absolutely loved it. Is the taste between general lös and white portions too different or is it me that my taste buds have gotten used to snus?

[trebli]

To me there is quite a bit of difference between General Original Portion and General White Portion. The General Lös is like General Original Portion without the portion material.


But don't go by what I think. I am a lös rookie. Most of my experience has been with portion snus.
