I must say I'm really glad to see General put out a competing snus for the American market but I was also a little worried to order enough cans to make shipping worthwhile.

Typical US snus from Camel and Marlboro do not even compare with the traditional products from Sweden and maybe I made the mistake by trying the real stuff first but I can only use US Camel snus in a pinch until an order comes in.

To me General has scored a success because they have kept the "classic" just that, no sweetening to the point of being nauseating like it's potential competitors. The only real differences from the round can varieties is that the citrus is a little more pronounced but does not overpower by any means.

My only complaints are that you only get 15 pouches per can and it would be really nice to have a tin can like the Camel snus at this price level. I bought 10 cans hoping I'd enjoy the purchase and to do my part to prove to General that the US is ready for the real stuff and I'm glad I did!!!
