    General

    I have been using Snus for over 2 years now,since throwing the cigs in the bin.
    I have tried numerous brands and flavors and come to the conclusion,,that General is by far the best Snus for my palate.
    I actually crave General when sampling other brands. It just has the X-Factor. Anyone else have a brand that they would literally kill for?

      I absolutely agree with you about General. I never seem to get tired of it. I quit smoking with GWP and have no desire to smoke or vape.

          I wouldn't literally kill for ANY snus , but General is also my go to.

          However, after years of snusing I'm finally beginning to view snus flavors as food. Lets say General is Pizza. Pizza is amazing, most everybody loves pizza, and I could generally eat pizza for most meals. But eventually, like with any other food, I'll grow tired of Pizza. So yes, I grow tired of General sometimes. And when that happens, Odens or Thunder comes to the rescue, with an entirely different flavor that is so refreshing. Its like having good thai food or a tasty caesar salad after a week of straight pizza.

          So while yes, General is my favorite, I can't stick with just one snus. I wish I could, it sure would make things easier, but I have to have variety.

            I agree. I seem to always compare other snus to General original/los. I love it too. When i want a change i'll enjoy a few General wintergreens. But then again ive only tried the brands at the local smoke shops/gas stations which isnt many.

              I like General but its never anything I order. The place I always get gas has all 4 main varieties of it and so when im waiting for an order I might pick some up but it certainly doesn't blow my mind. I guess maybe it's a good fix for smokers but for a dipper i was looking for something more "straight" flavored. Which the definition of straight is very different from dip to snus. I'd say my favorite is thunder frosted. I remember for some reason a few years ago Thunder frosted los was more expensive than offroad by a long shot so i used offroad frosted. I have high hopes for odens vanilla when it gets delivered. Odens is a close second to my favorite unless we're talking candy snus. I think the snus I like most is Jak's melon but its never anything I can have more than once a day without being sick of it.
              I would say a snus i'd die to try would be lucky strike. I doubt its anything amazing but the fact I can't have it really makes me want it. Same with the other brands we can't get in the U.S.

                Lucky Strike is a really nice snus. Tastes like no other,in a good way. Highly recommended.

                  General is my go to only because it's the 1 brand available in Canada. I'm sick of it after 7 months of using it almost exclusively.

                  I think if Swedish match chose to introduce Ettan to the Canadian market it would be more sucessful. The flavor is less intense and it's much easier to swallow.

                    I finally got some General Snus. To me it's just okay and I'll use it if I have to, just don't care for the after taste. I love Camel mint Snus though I like a sweeter Snus. I wouldn't kill for Camel Snus but close to it

                      I wish there was a thumbs up button under your post. I like General but it does get old after a few months. I haven't placed an order since Northerner left the USA. I just keep buying General because I really don't want to shell out $40 for shipping every 2 to 3 months.

                          Camel Snus is not snus.

                            I usually snus only General, and I'm happy enough with the flavor. But the one thing I wish is that Oden's would get US distribution so I didn't have to shell out a bunch of money just to try the damn stuff. Failing that, I'd be happy enough with US distirbution of Roda Lacket.

                              A genuine interest in snus is what led the brothers Marc and Patrick Vogel to launch V2 Tobacco in 2006. Production began on a small scale, but increased as a result of demand until the brothers outgrew their factory. ...

Five generations have perfected the production and manufacturing of tobacco products. ...
