Go back Our General, Portion ReviewIntroduced in 1985 by Swedish Match, General Portion snus is one of the most popular brands in Sweden. General portion is classified as a regular type portion meaning that each one goes thru a final step in the manufacturing process that adds a bit more moisture to each that aids the flavors in the snus to marry together and release it faster in the lip. The material that Swedish Match uses in General portion is the same soft material that they use in all their snus and remains comfortable in the lip for about 2 hours. Each can of General Portion contains 24, one gram portions with each one having 8 mg of Nicotine. The can is made of black plastic with a matte texture and the classic General logo affixed to the lid and yes, there is a used portion compartment in the lid. Now that we know the basics, let’s talk flavors! General Portion is sometimes known as General Original and the flavor is just that, original! The handpicked tobaccos from places like Honduras, Africa, Nicaragua and the U.S., among other places, give General portion an earthy, leathery flavor with black pepper and salt in the background. The other flavor element is lemon! Not bergamot like most Swedish snus but lemon. The subtle lemon flavor enhances the earthy flavors in the snus while adding a hint of bitterness that makes the pepper flavor shine thru. The subtle lemon and salty flavors combine with the tobacco and pepper tastes to create a flavor that is distinctly General but, this is our opinion, we want to hear what you think of General Portion! So, why not give General Portion snus a try and add a can or two to your next order. Be sure to leave a review of your own and share with other snus aficionados what you taste! We’ll be looking forward to reading it.

I think I might have gotten a bad can, or something. I heard such good things about General and was excited to try it, but I've really been disappointed. The lemon flavor mixed really poorly with the tobacco flavor, and it just came off tasting like a dirty citrus. I popped a portion in, and it immediately made me kinda queasy. After 15 minutes or so, I gave up and just switched to a portion of Göteborgs Rapé. I really want to like this snus, but for now, it's going back in the freezer.

One of my favorites. Perfect blend of moistness and smooth tobacco flavor that lasts for quite a while. It is accompanied by a nice mild nicotine kick. The General helped me greatly in the first couple of months with kicking my smoking habit.

The General Original Portion is a snus with a good taste, but i think its a little bit too wet.

I'm back and ready to finish my reviews of every snus I've ordered. I took a break because I noticed after a while of snusing that my tastes were changing, some snus I liked before I didn't anymore, and others I didn't enjoy, I did now.
Such is the case here. I didn't like General at all. It has become standard on every order now. The bag material is soft and comfortable. The citrus taste is pretty much just lemon, but goes surprisingly well with tobacco. Nicotine content is pretty much average for snus, so it won't knock you on your bum like Thunder or leave you wanting more like Catch. (Catch is delicious, by the way, just not enough kick for me) It's easy to see why this is one of the most popular, and will always be in my rotation.

i actually quit smoking using smokeless tobacco, started last year with skoal pouches which i found powerful especially as i wasnt used to them, then when camel snus came out tried them, liked it at first but within a week they were too weak for me. and slimy and sweet...paaah!
so i found a shop that stocks general and bought some original portion...didnt like the flavour at first...but persevered and got used to it. tp be honest, i think its ok....i MUCH prefer the white portion, i love the wedge shape that fits perfectly and for me at least, i find the white portion comes on strong and lasts much longer...i tend to suck on the original portion and extract all the juices....i spit it out when it starts to get that bitter taste, normally within half an hour. its a decent product but i only give it 6 or 7 out of 10....onyx on the other hand...10 out of 10!!!

what else can i say about general that hasn't been said before -- it's the most popular brand for a reason -- it says right on the can " the one taste" and it really is -- nothing tastes quite like general, and that's a great thing - the flavor is spot on - the tobacco flavor is perfectly tempered by the citrus to make for a very pleasurable experience

I moved quickly from American tobacco to snus, due largely to the incredible flavor and mild nicotine kick of General portions. This is definitely my favorite snus, and has even been a huge hit around the office.
toddwillms1, 08/16/2009 18:55:17
Compared to most of the other regualar portions i have tried this one seems to last a lot longer. Its the general taste of salt and tobacco comes on strong and then evens out with plenty of flavor to keep me satisfied for a while.It's a go to snus throughout the day!
toddwillms1, 08/16/2009 13:17:10
This portion seems to last longer to me than most other regular portion snus and the salty tobacco taste is a very good wake me up with my coffee in the morning!

This is a very fine snus. Juicy and delicious. I was a heavy smoker and moderate dipper. I no longer smoke and after trying this stuff I have forgotten all about Copenhagen American moist snuff. This should be heavily marketed in the US. 4/5.

This is the best portion snus. I first went with General White but it took to long for the nicotine to kick in so i started with General orginal. It has a good citrus taste or more the lose has a strong citrus taste. If you starting to snus start with General

This was the very first real snus I tried after buying a can of that terribly sweet American-made Camel snus.
It's still one of my favorites. I sometimes have a white portion, but the original is unbeatable.

First of all, I am not a big fan of portions. I rather prefer loose probably because I am a converted dipper of American spit tobacco. I enjoy this portion, though. I don't like it as much as General loose, but it is more convenient at certain times to just flip in a portion when you can't bake a pris. This portion reminds me of Copenhagen pouches, but the flavor lasts much longer. It is good for 2+ hours.

Good nic hit, lasts a good amount of time for me (1-2 hours before the buzz wears off, depending how much I've had to eat and if it's the first portion of the day.) I don't really like the taste or smell - it smells a bit lemony and tastes of strong tea. Luckily the taste isn't noticeable once you've had it in for a while, but I still don't like it. Just a personal preference I suppose, since a lot of folks seem to dig it. But I vastly prefer wintergreen over this. I've tried the white original portion as well, and it's basically the same.
It's decent, but I won't be getting it again.
smcvoodoo, 07/09/2009 00:10:40
slow to start, moderate strength throughout. Nice taste, not as strong of a taste as i prefer.
kporizka, 06/23/2009 13:59:23
One of the best on the market. The only snus I enjoy more is the General white portion because it seems to have a more controlled release and it lasts longer. Salty with a very mild lemony tang and a kick of nicotine. Excellent!
friggity, 06/22/2009 17:24:32
Not as much nicotine as the Onyx and a little too much nicotine flavor for my liking. Does possess the nice pouch that stays in place in your lip.
macdoyal, 06/19/2009 06:20:18
Not bad at all. I like the tobacco flavor and good nic kick. 4 stars for a good snus.
bellmr, 06/10/2009 13:04:34
I find this snus to be a good allrounder, with a fairly good kick to it. The salty taste is something that I enjoy, and I have used this all day on some occasions.
kickflipparn, 06/04/2009 19:32:10
This is a Very traditinoal snus here in sweden it got a semi strong and spicey taste i would give it 7/10
DaleFranks, 05/22/2009 05:22:45
Meh. It tastes like Copenhagen. Really fresh, good Copenhagen, but that's never really been a favorite taste for me. If you like that sort of thing, though, this is the sort of thing you'll like.
