General Original Portion - August 26, 2020

General Original Portion is one of the oldest products you can get on the market today. From a very classic taste, to the 154 year old tradition, this snus is one of the best available. I've always been more of a fan of white portion snus, but this is definitely one where I prefer the original to the white. Swedish Match describes General Original as a "Spicy tobacco character with elements of bergamot, as well as tea, hay and leather".

General Original Portion comes in a black can, with a golden brown label. This can design is the one available here in the US. Personally, I've always liked the Swedish design more, but unfortunately, is unavailable in the US. The snus is identical however, the only difference being the can design. Each can comes with 24 portions, weighing 1g each, totaling 24g. The nicotine content is 8.5mg/g which is an easy 8.5mg/portion.


When you first open the can, you'll be greeted by the pleasant smell of bergamot. I imagine Swedish Match included the tea in the flavor description, because of the bergamot. There is a bold, peppery tobacco character right behind the bergamot. The flavor is identical to the aroma, and very similar to the white portion, only more pronounced and slightly bolder.

This flavor is one of the most classic flavors you're able to find in the snus world today, and a favorite of many snus users I know. You can use the General store locator to find where you're able to find this can locally, or if you're placing an order soon, add it from your favorite webstore!
