general onyx review

[daruckis]

PLEASANT.

thats really all i have to say about it. i could go into the nice taste, nic kick, blah blah. but really what it comes down to is, if you havent tried it yet, id definitely recommend checking it out.

Definitely. I don't think anyone would object to me saying that you have to at least try a can of this stuff at some point.

I liked it when I first had it. However, after 3-4 cans of it, i found it too.....moist perhaps? My pouches always seemed very slippery and wet which made the drip come fast. There's also something psychological about a black bag not tasting like black licorice. :P hehe

I really liked Onyx when I first started snusing, but I think I over did it. I'll still have one every once in a while, but I can't use them regularly. I think it's the sharp flavor that started to get the better of me. I'm not sure if it's the citrus/bergamot flavor or what, but I don't find the initial bite appealing. It's flavor is great after it fades a little though.

I have some of these in the freezer I haven't made my way to yet.

I almost want to buy a roll of these, every time I see that banner ad with the tube it comes in. I don't know why, but that tube really appeals to me. Crazy subliminal Swedish marketing, I guess.

That is a good looking tube. I'm a sucker for packaging :^D

I've been through 4 cans of the stuff, absolutely loved the first two, had to make myself finish the last... I don't care for it anymore. Definitely snus you keep in the fridge, and keep it occasional. I burned out on it bad.

I love it. But I've tried to avoid using too much, since it's expensive and I could easily end up switching from General White (my main squeeze) to Onyx - totally. So far, I've been able to restrict it to a dessert snus. (Well, maybe a bit more often than that.)

But, I am about to order another 5-pack anyway.

At this point, I think I'd trade all these "Free Mystery Can" units of Ettan I'm not using two-for-one for your un-loved cans of Onyx.

I'll have to take a look at how many I have in the freezer....

I really like Onyx, too. At first I thought it was pretty good, but I find myself using it more and more... It kind of snuck up on me, and now I always have a few cans around.

As others have stated, I think Oynx is absolutely wonderful. But it can easily become "too much". So Oynx is now a once or twice a day snus for me, but one I look forward to every day when i have it open.

Funny this thread was just posted. I just checked my mailbox to find 5 cans of General Onyx and 5 of Claq Qui. Been using General Original portions which imo are juicy and delicious. Just wish the strong run lasted longer.

I just popped in a portion of Onyx. Looks like a white portion in a black pouch. But its much juicier than other whites I have tried. Tastes like General Original except a notch or two stronger. The nic hit is not subtle, pretty much punches you in the face. This is good stuff. And for the amount I paid for it the manufacturer obviously knows this.

General Onyx nicotine hit seems perfect to me. Can't wait to try the Claq Qui.

[sagedil]

BTW, it IS a white portion.

It's probably possible to burn-out with any snus. I've been careful not to do it (learning that here, of course). Onyx is something I can look forward to as a treat when I have the time to fully enjoy it. Some snus seems to be meant for long, thorough enjoyment.

Isn't it amazing how you can get get burn out on 1 kind of snus, but use the same brand of cigs, dip, and chew for years and never think twice about it.
