My local tobacco shop has started stocking this brand, it says made in Sweden… is this a good brand? Or is it gona be like the Camel/Marb snus here in the states … that crap is like candy … no nic, atleast not enough for me to notice.
Its proper snus. Its good. Its Sweden’s most popular brand. Its not the strongest one out there, but its solid. Its the only one I can find locally too.
It is one of the best out there, as @Xander says its the biggest selling brand in Sweden and is pretty much the benchmark snus. It is NOTHING like camel or marlboro snus, its considerably better, white portion and extra strong are my favs, only wish I could easily get hold of it here.
I like it. Sign up at their web site and print coupons
General is real snus. Made in the traditional Swedish way. Swedish snus is what Camel and Marlboro want to be when they grow up. Neither of them have anything in common with real snus except being in pouches and containing nicotine. You can notice nicotine from it depending on your tolerance. For me regular portions merely fend off withdrawal. I have to go to the Extra Strong kill a craving. Thank goodness for snuff to fill in the gap.
Cool, picked up a can of the white, original, and loose. Like em all 
Also the shop i goto has match books with $1 off plus a $1 can coupon inside :-bd
…Anyone else thinks its a gross idea to have used portions in the " trash " can lid thing… i do, i know its my own saliva and all but, but the idea of having a can of germs in my pocket, growing off my body heat … buh!
Hey y’all. If you have General round can available in your area Swedish Match is doing a temporary price reduction, $0.99 per can. In my area that is about a $3 discount. I heard it is through March, but I don’t know if that is until the beginning or end of March.
Generalsnus.com site seems broken :(|) wont let me sign up…

Ah that’s what that is for… I spent 10 minutes trying to punch it out thinking that I was supposed to pull the portions from there… i feel retarded now lol.
I just got a couple of cans of the white portion from a store in Richmond, VA. I’ve grown rather fond of it and I’m glad I found a place that carries it.
@Faust White Portion is my fav general non stark snus by a country mile! One of my top 3 fav snuses of all time!
Thunder Frosted mini portion
God I am hooked on this snus… Ive tried all the flavors/styles my local shop has to offer. Loose, Original, Mint, Nordic Mint, Classic, Wintergreen, & White Portion. Wintergreen is strait nasty IMO… but i love all the other ones. Loose and Original are by far my favs. Ive killed 9 cans of the loose and about 14 of the original. The store i shop for tobacco has the $.99 sale going on for the past 2months so i been going ape crazy consuming this stuff…only thing that sucks is the cans seems to only have a 2-3 month best by shelf life … which really bites cause I wana stock up befor they go back to normal price…but dont wana have a ton of snus just go bad in my fridge. Btw… fridge or freezer? Would it keep longer in one or the other? And what happens when its goes beyond the best by date? I have 6 loose / 8 original chillin at the moment. Oh and im pretty happy with myself…learned to handbake my pris with my first can of loose…but hate the brown hand crap so im gona order an Icetool and one of them sweet tins for loose they have on the Icetool site. Already had a can split in my back pocket cause my car keys impaled it … was not happpy. But hey it was only $.99 Sorry for the long winded post.
3 months before the best by date is about the best you will find with a Swedish Match snus. You can keep them in the fridge for 4-6 months past that date. Ziploc bag preferred. After the BB date they will start to lose moisture and flavor but not to much. Beyond 4-6 months freezer is the best, but guard against freezer burn. Portions will keep better than lös and White portions better yet. I would buy a few rolls so you can save up to buy fresh from a reputable online shop.
I also really like most all of the General Products. One thing I’ve noticed is if you haven’t broken the seal on a tin they will still have some moisture to them for a looong time (at least the portions)- not as good as fresh, but still usable. Even in a fridge, as I couldn’t use a freezer. Due to a stupid oral injury, I couldn’t use them for a long time. Some are still ok even with a 2011 exp date. But the opened tins didn’t fare nearly as well.

You can make an “icetool” from a medical syringe. I got a cough syrup syringe from the pharmacy, freebie, and cut the end off, will go up +four, I’ve done some very large prillas with mine…party time! lol
what @bigmick says is correct, if you;re going for long term storage freezer is best in a sealed bag but I have found that they do keep a while just in the fridge but only a few months, then transfer to the freezer. Oden’s have the best BBF dates, I just got a roll of olde ving 99 with a BBF of April 2014!
@Burnsey already made a poor mans icetool…works pretty good
