New Snus - General Smooth Medium White - Coming Soon

[snusjus]

It seems to be marketed toward females, like Catch Pure Mint. The can looks nice, but I wouldn't want to be seen with one in front of Swedish construction workers pinching wads of Grov and Ettan Los into their mouths.

It's a cool looking can, marketed to women and although not intentionally certain men, without question, would I buy it just for the can? yes.

Just wanted to add this, probably old news.

But V2 are coming out with a Thunder ES snus with taste of (Coke) Cola!

Earl Grey Tea flavoured Snus sounds good to me.

Earl Grey Tea flavoured Snus sounds good to me.

Doesn't that apply to most General brands though?

My thought exactly.

Bergamot is the key flavor ingredient of Earl Gray.



Think I'll have me some...
NOPE!! Done run out of it. Dang!

[Snusify]

I guess but in the description of this product Swedish Match state Tea as flavour in the Smooth. I have not seen that in any other General Product description. Sure any snus with Bergamot in it will remind you of Earl Grey but this snus has Tea in the description. So I am intrigued. Tea being one of my favourite drinks an all.

Swedish Match say

A medium-bodied and smooth tobacco flavour with a hint of bergamot, herbs and tea

Though they don't actually list it, bergamot is a primary ingredient to flavor their products and other traditional flavored Swedish Snus.

In food...

An essence extracted from the aromatic skin of this sour fruit is used to flavour Earl Grey and Lady Grey teas, and confectionery. An Italian food manufacturer, Caffé Sicilia in Noto, Syracuse, Sicily, produces a commercial marmalade using the fruit as its principal ingredient.[6][7] It is also popular in Turkey, Greece and Cyprus as a preserve, made with bergamot peel boiled in sugar syrup. In Sweden and Norway, bergamot is a very common flavorant in snus, a smokeless tobacco product.

Off the top of my head, when I think of bergamot, all I can think of is Earl Grey tea.

That being said, the product description does say, "A medium-bodied and smooth tobacco flavour with a hint of bergamot, herbs and tea."

The fact that they differentiate in the description, tea and bergamot seperately, makes me wonder - but I can't think of what other kinds of tea would be used in accompaniment with a bergamot flavor.

I stand corrected. A source at Swedish Match tells me the "tea" in the description is a "new taste".

I have a feeling this stuff is going to rock, regardless of whatever market they are targeting. Sorry if I missed it, but how many portions per tin?

[Darwin]

An Earl Grey flavoring, bergamot, is very traditional and very General but its use in snus won't remind anyone of tea.

[desirexe]

The can is perfect, the portions are the perfect sized, the flavor sounds perfect but the release date sucks! I will be in the middle of a move across country! I haven't been this excited and disappointed at the same time ever...well except for the Christmas when my husband gave me a Dyson vacuum cleaner.

+1 lmao

I'll give it a shot maybe one can, catch pure mint is okay but I don't like the less tobacco. The tin looks awesome but it reminds me of light cigarettes.

Your husband rocks! Being a single guy who has to do his own vacuuming I would love it if someone gave me a new vacuum for a present. I spent $600 bucks on my Oreck and would really like a Kirby for a gift.......
