    Surprised by General Original Portions

    Hey guys,

    Thought I'd finally make an account as I've been snusing for about the past 6 months, on and off, trying to quit smoking. Similar story to many on these forums im sure. I've referred to posts on this site for answers to some questions I had when I initially began my snus journey.

    I am well aware that this post is going to be laughed at by some Swede that's been packing Los since was 6 years old, but I'm going to post it anyway lol.

    What the fffff is in these pouches? Garbage that's been marinating in a dumpster all summer? Does Swedish Match have just hundreds of dumpsters in a paarking lot instead of a factory?

    My weapon of choice since day one has been General Mint white portions. This decision was not one of choice but could convenience. Had a buddy back in Jersey that would order mint in bulk.

    So today I decided to try something new. I also was interested in the potential gum relief I'd recieved from a moisended, less dry and abrasive, portion. As my gums have been slightly irritated thiz go around( relapsed with smoking and just came back after a month or so) do to presumably smoking and the dentist touching my mouth earlier.

    So I got all excited, drove 15 minutes out of my way coming home from work. Only to find the shady store clerk swapped out the snus for some toxic waste!

    All kidding aside; i know im being a little bitch but I got home, and Mind you; I was in a fantastic mood. I felt great, high off life! The I opened the can, went to take a deep smell of my new treasure..

    BAM!! The intense smell smacks me in the face. I'll admit that I took a step back and thought to myself 'wow, I'm going to put this in my mouth'. I likened it to a stiff whiskey..I'm sure the first time I took a wiff out of my father's single malt whiskey bottle, I was equally floored.

    So I threw one in anyway. The taste was fierce, not overwhelmingly so however. The experience was like rough sex. Rough sex that gets too rough and you end up with scratch marks on your face and a bruised penis. Truthfully I went from feeling great to feeling like shit, splitting headache and sliiiiiiiiiight(I stress slight) nausea.

    The expiration date on the can is March ofor this year. However when I was at this location I did notice what appeared to be.sleeves of general standing upright outside of the refrigerator.

    My questions are: is this normal? Has the snus gone bad? If not the latter i guess I'm just a pussy?

    Could be you are like me and do not like Bergamot, which is in General Original and not in the Mint. Just a thought.

      Welcome Beastcoast....sounds like a disappointing experience and then some. You may be better off trying white portions of General as they have a slower flavor release......g/l

        I’m a big fan of tobacco centric snus like Grov, Ettan, Tre Ankare, etc. I also love begamot so the smell and taste for me is fine. Probably you might think of ordering flavored snus such as Gotlandssnus or Swedish Match flavored.
