Tastes same as General ES portions, but a little drier, thus, not as good.

How is the nicotine content compared to the original ES?

I have 4 cans on the way so I will make a review myself as soon as I get them.

Much stronger from what I hear, ask Jag he is using them a lot atm.

Apparently they are stronger, I don't really feel a difference, but I've been using GES every day for 3 years.

Since I don't really do reviews, I'm going to agree with what Chad had wrote in his review about it Below...

General Extra Strong Long Portion Review. 8 February 2012.

After the rush to make the strongest snus a few years ago when companies were going up to 15ish mg/g nicotine give or take, a new snus rush has happened. First came Skruf XTra Stark (which was recently discontinued in loose, by the way), then Oden's Extreme, then 06 and Thunder Frosted Raw, and now General Extra Strong Long. The one question I've been hearing a lot is how does the flavor profile compare to the General Recipe? Is it more General Long flavor profile or General Ekstra Sterk flavor profile? The General Long flavor profile is great - it's the traditional General taste but with hints of the 0102 series. It's a natural/earthy flavor mixed with the General recipe. General Ekstra Sterk is great as well - the classic General recipe but with a major pepper kick to it.

As far as the flavor profile goes of General Extra Strong & Long - it's much of the same. The aroma is very reminiscent of the General Long series, a very mellow but present citrus aroma. The taste is much like the other longs, the classic General taste profile - though not as zesty/strong as General White/Sterk, not as spicy or bold as General Ekstra Sterk. It's right in the middle, but a little more pronounced than the other long portions. I know, that sounded complicated but hey, it's the best way I can think to describe it. The flavor is earthy and natural but with the classic taste of General - citrus, a spicy pepper kick (more noticable than in other longs, but not as much pepper as General Ekstra Sterk), and a mild salt balance. The nicotine is the clear winner here. Though I try not to do many strong portions - Swedish Match makes their free nicotine levels very apparent, and this snus is no different. I mean, damn. It's strong. Even some of the Swedish Match folks we kicked it with this past week said it was too strong for them. So if you like long portions and want a classic Swedish taste but with enough nicotine to kick your teeth in - this is definitely one to look into.

Just as said above the nic kick is very strong and to me it's strongest fastest hitting snus on the market... To me General Extra Strong & Long taste alot like General Extra Strong, But without the strong peppery drip and can easily and may even replace General Extra Strong in my rotation although I will always have a few cans handy. It has become my #1 go to Extra Sterk Portion.

Thanks, I think I'll pass on this snus if it is indeed the same flavor profile as General ES portions. I think it's the lakrits in ES that ruins it for me bigtime. Nauseating.

It is not the same as the General ES Portions in my opinion. I don't really taste any licorice in the Long ES. Try it, it's awesome!

I agree completely.... It is not the same as the General ES Portions in my opinion. I don't really taste any licorice in the Long ES. Try it, it's awesome! Matter of fact it has almost taken the place of General ES Portions in my daily rotation....

Okay so after going through another roll of this stuff I've changed my mind. This stuff is great. It is a little drier but it does away with that overpowering peppery flavor of GES. It's really grown on me and is now my every day Snus. A+

Stuff gave me a bad reaction. My throat swole up and was bad till I discontinued use. That's why I sold 2 rolls of it. That being said I use GESL white as my go to and just had my first can of 07 which is disappointing as well compared to the GESL white. Might be a few cans of the 07 hitting the trading block soon.
