Want a stronger snus, but in a white portion with a great taste? General Strong White may be right up your alley. Earlier this year, as I was trying various different types of snus and trying to find my way, I was a full time Thunder Frosted user. When I began to experiment with various different types of bergamot snus, I found my way to General (as most new snus users do in the long run), and began to use General White Portion, which is one of my regulars. I began to fully appreciate the flavor of bergamot, the citrus notes, the pepper, it truly is a classic experience and you can really taste the heritage in snus when you use General Snus.
General Strong White comes in a White Portion and is arranged in the classic Swedish Match star pattern. The portions are slightly more full than General White portion, and being arranged in the star pattern - they are a bit thicker in the end and thinner towards the center of the can, so a little fluffing is required to make it just right.
The aroma is that of citrus, with a smooth peppery smell mixed in with it. The flavor profile is quite similar to what you would find in General White Portion, The flavor begins as a mild flavor of citrus, and a flavor of pepper blends in gently and balances with the citrus. There is a mild salt balance in the background which mixes perfectly with the citrus and pepper notes. The nicotine slowly comes in and provides for a great experience and just the kick I wanted in a strong portion snus. Unlike the Ekstra Sterk, the drip is very mild, and doesn't come on until the very end of using the portion. I also found the flavor profile more enjoyable than the Ekstra Sterk, but just as good as General White Portion, with a little more of a kick.

A neat little history - back in 2007, Swedish Match launched this product. Back then it was called General Sterk: The Norwegian Edition. The reason was because Norwegians, at that time, liked their snus strong, and they liked white portions. In fact, this snus still lives on in Norway as General No6 White Strong!

Just a fun-fact:
ReplyDeletethis variety of General was initially made for the Norwegian market and as such Sterk is the Norwegian word for strong, the Swedish word is stark
