I have tried General White Portion Wintergreen and General Loose, both are infinitely better than the Camel or Marlboro and give you a really good nicotine satisfaction. General is, as I have read, the “standard” for Swedish Snus and quality snus.
Most retail stores don’t carry it in the U.S., but order some General Extra Strong loose from buysnus.com and be prepared to go for a ride…
I still have some of the “free trial” from snusdriect.com, that was a long time ago. I enjoyed it, just not something i would send away for. The good news, my local shop is also now stocking General, so i can become properly obssesed about snus 
Just went to the gas station around the corner and got some tins of General white, Nordic mint, and wintergreen for .99 $ each. I couldn’t believe the price. I guess General does these promotional sales once in a while.
I have not hit on the $0.99 yet, but I did find some coupons on generalsnus.com…one can for $1, two cans for the price of one, and $ 2 off of one can.
@giaach I found a gas station just outside of Denver International Airport doing the same thing. I asked them why it was so cheap. They said they weren’t selling too well, and that Swedish Match North America advised them to slash the prices. I picked up a nice supply FYI: My dad brought me a log of General Loose last week on a visit from Sweden, and informed me that the EU is trying to undermine snus consumption via a ban on flavored tobacco which would supersede Sweden’s exemption on the original ban. Virtually all snus is flavored in some way. There is, of course, a lot of protest from Swedes, but EU legislators seem less than concerned for that. I am almost inclined to believe that certain EU member states have an underlying incentive for eliminating snus, as snus presents a threat to their interests in cigarette sales. In any case, I would advise snus users to stock up on the stuff while they still can, as the future remains uncertain.
The latest from the EU tobacco directive is the flavoring ban has been dropped in a “compromise” to keep snus banned in EU countries other than Sweden. So it appears that snus is safe for the moment. At least for everyone not in the EU.
I love the General los but it’s not quite strong enough for me so I’ll be ordering a roll or two of their extra sterk next time. Luckily being in Switzerland, I’m not in the EU, I can buy from snuscentral or anywhere else.
Small miracle…In my little town (2 stoplights), I walked into a Shell gas station and lo & behold, a small refrigerated display with General snus in it. White, Nordic mint,mint, and evergreen quickly found their way into my paws. Happy now…that is all… over…
@bigmick That is good news for snus users! Hopefully the US doesn’t take up the issue.
@Kpod The future of smokeless in general is being looked into by the US FDA. They are moving at a snails pace, but there is a threat looming on the horizon. We’re safe for the moment, but I fear the day is approaching when we are fighting the same fight the EU is now.
do people who use the loose snus still pack it above the top teeth? seems awkward. I se the wintergreen thunderbags or whatever the heck they’re called. it’s a mighty nicotine ride, to be sure.
@Mike_B … yes, tucked in the upper lip for loose. it will feel awkward at first, but your gums will get use to it. packed in a ball-ish form called a prilla or pris.
@bigmick I dread that day. With luck, our bureaucracy will keep true to its trademark for peak inefficiency!
Love this stuff, my first exposure to real Swedish Snus. Haven’t had any in a looooooooooooong time. Now I got a hankering for some.
@jayson Funny, I did the same thing with my first can bought in Sweden. @dvsfaust Have some in the freezer (unopened) about 12 months old and it seems to be just fine. Gen. portion.
I loved the 99c promo. I stocked up on 100 cans last jan/feb around tax time. well worth it, lasted me like 8-9 months. I have been happy to see the los on the shelves in the US as well lately. Haven’t got any stateside yet, just because I suck at los, always get hella mud mouth lol. maybe I will pick me up a can and bake me a pris for old time sake anyways. 
Loose is my go to snus
Woo! Found some. Only 2 bucks a can. Bought a bunch to try. Very enjoyable.
General is good, both pouches and loose. Its the most used here in Norway aswell as Sweden and Denmark. You wont find a single long-term snuser here who doesnt have a can of General at all times nearby.
