    I came from american dip, and I like regular and sterksnus . But not extra sterk.

    In any case, Citrus is a great idea. I hated the "citrus" flavored american dips(I think skoal makes the only one), but I really enjoyed the lemon-like flavor in both General original and luck strike. If done subtlely, citrus would be a great flavor for the general brand.

      Not sure what everyone is referring to concerning a "citrus" taste. General already has many versions that are flavored with bergamot which is a citrus fruit flavor although it is one not well known to the American palate. Perhaps a bit more specificity is in order like "orange" or "lemonade", or some such.

        I think they are referring to a hard citrus flavor as opposed to the classic bergamot which has citrus tones, but is a wild mix of undefinable flavors (at least as it concerns tobacco flavoring).

            Yeah undefinable nails it. Almost the only time one encounters bergamot on this side of the pond is in Earl Grey tea but it is so subtle there that it bears little resemblance to the strong tang of General OP much less the sharp bitterness of Skruf OP. Most citrus flavors we're used too have some sweetness to them and most bergamot flavored snus has little if any sweetness. The Swedes don't appear to go big for sweeteners in their snus but with citrus a little would be alright--make it more approachable for North American palates. General Mint hits it just about right--way less cloyingly sweet than Camel or Marlboro but it's not just straight peppermint oil either.

            Discreet may take the sweetness a little too far but it's still a lot better than Camel and far far better than Marlboro. Of course road-kill flavored snus would beat Marlboro.
