    intersting packaging fom General??

    I saw this kids vid on you tube,
    He isn't the point of interest to me,
    What is is the packaging or the general product he purchased in a US convent store.
    Take a look......

    I've often wondered what they sell in a convent store. Scented votary candles? Large print missals? Electronic virtual rosaries? Trinity action figures?

        Premium Parrots: only if the carpet matches the drapes.
        Crow: Of course, that's a given.
        Crow: Imagine a jet black 'raven' with a red bush?
        Crow: Hmm... You know, that actually sounds intriguing to me.
        Premium Parrots: sounds like a freak to me
        Premium Parrots: remember DO NOT TURN YOUR BACK ON CROW
        Premium Parrots: not that it would hurt one bit if he nailed you with his little pecker.

          Keeps the snus fresher when it's on the shelf a long time.

              I found it strange for a few reasons..
              1 he states there are directions enclosed.
              2 the foil freshness seal.
              3 I believe he mentions a low amount of portions per tin?

              These sound like introductory product to the market....
              Any input?

                Yes, this is the General offered in Canada. You can see the Health Canada warning on the lid and the t-shirt he is wearing is for a Canadian Sports network. I watched a bit of this with no audio - did he actually pack down that can of portions?

                      It is still made in Sweden by Swedish Match. The one the guy in the video has is sold as General Original here and is pretty much just General White portion, although I think the nic is higher.

                      This is part of an effort by Swedish Match to get into new markets. Here is a link from Chad's site with some more info if you are interested:

                        I remember reading that Canadian General snus has around 18 mg of nicotine per gram; the warning on the side of the can contains this information. It would be nice if American General snus had a bit more nicotine.

                          Ya it's 17 or 18 mg/g if I recall correctly. I've been ordering online for quite awhile but this thread has got me interested in getting the "Smooth Taste" again and trying some of the "Titanium" for sale here. I hope its still available at the tobacco store in the small town near me that I found it in originally otherwise it's over an hours trip for me to get some.

                            Just for
                            General Snus,
                            Not only that but the place sells a whopping

                              Good lord. This guy has SO MUCH DIP in his lip.

                              edit- as it would turn out, it isn't dip, but THREE PORTIONS piled into his lower lip... and he's spitting... you're doing it wrong!!!
