    The warning label on top of the can is hideous. Perhaps this is a new FDA requirement for snus imported to America?

      Better than some. At least it has flow, and blends in with the rest of the label. Have you seen some of the snuff tins? They completely ruin the label with their stupid warning :^S

        At least the warning will protect the kids and keep them from using snus :0

          I hate wintergreen, but for those that like it, I bet this'll be the best wintergreen snus on the market :^)

            To say that I am lost for words is an understatement. Why? Why? Why? Gotlandssnus has always had a very special place in my rotation and I can't imagine a week without Yellow, Grey or Green. This snus is just bandwagon hopping. I get that this is aimed at a very different audience from their traditional client base and I am sure it will be a big seller for them as they manage to do everything well, but I maintain (like I said last time) that they should start to produce a "natural" flavour snus. I will still buy a can though despite the fact that I hate wintergreen just to see what it is like - and cling to the hope that one day they will produce something to rival Ettan/Grov/Gellivare.

                Hmm, it says "Strong" too, so I guess it's a stark. I do think the worst thing about snus and any oral tobacco, is not the very rare idea of cancer, but gum and teeth affecting. I've noticed this with just a year of use in.

                  The portions weight 1.2 grams each, similar to General Ekstra Sterk. What is the nicotine level? I won't be trying this product since its wintergreen flavored.

                    I'm tempted to get a tin just for collection purposes, but I'm sure I wouldn't like the snus. I've recently had General wintergreen from a sampler, and it's terrible :^D To be fair, it tastes just like it's supposed to. I can see why wintergreenies like it, but I just don't dig that taste.

                      When I used to smoke I would regularly check discarded packs to see if I could score myself some free smokes. This reminds me of all the times I found those packs to be empty.

                      Wintergreen? Why on earth would you go wintergreen? Not even just because I don't really like it, but because the market is already saturated with wintergreen portion products. Whaaaa?

                          A bunch of us were on here begging Swedish Match to make a Wintergreen Sterk that didn't taste like syrupy ass like Thunder Wintergreen, I guess Gotlands thought it was a better idea than SW did, and decided to beat them to the punch. I wonder how many hardcore General Wintergreen users will ditch General for the high-powered Gotlands?

                          SW = Failed.
                          Should have listened to us.....

                              What I find confusing is why the label in the US? I know its FDA rules, but I mean, they are stating a label has to be on a product stating it can do something that it has not been proven to do. So how are they allowed to do that? I don't care that it is tobacco. If there is no scientific proof that snus can do what the warning claims, then how are they allowed to demand it be put on there? Just another case in the good old USA where everything is as absolutely backwards as it can be.

                              Anyone see the story the other day where kids got suspended for wearing a t-shirt with the American Flag on it at a high school with a large Mexican population on Cinco De Mayo day? I never EVER thought I would see the day where wearing an American Flag in the US was an offensive thing.
