General XR Slim Large White

[Monkey]

Well to make this easier, I quoted myself from the General White thread.

I do not like this snus. I mean, it is tasty, but there are problems. Well, one problem. I think it is the smoke (I complained about this frequently in the past) bothers my throat. Most Swedish Match snus does this to me except RL and Prima Fint as far as I know/remember. I have this till my new order gets here, and I think this was why I gave up on snus for nasal snuff a few years ago. Finding a flavor I liked in the “classic” realm without throat irritation was a chore at that time.

Specifically with the XR, it doesn’t drip right away, and the portions are smooth as butter, but still that smoke aroma in it bothers my throat with extended use. I would love a General without smoke…but then I guess it wouldn’t be General. If you like General, you will probably like this.

Ces’t la vie.

Hey, nice review mate.

Now see what you can do when you set your mind to it

A certain someone on the forum said if I wasn't lazy I'd do a review... And I'm deciding to not be lazy and do a review.

Lets start with the can. It's pretty nice, the newer general can with the big catch lid topped with a big XR to catch the eye.

open it up and there's no star formation, just a can full of portions tossed in. Not that it matters I always feel like I die a little when the star formation starts to disappear. The smell is pretty much what I remember general white smelling like, a citrusy tobacco mixed with like fresh cut hay(it smells good)

the portion is a nice comfy slim white portion, reminds me of general tailored. The taste is citrus and tobacco from the beginning, then the salt slowly creeps in. I don't really get pepper ( I don't with general white either) perhaps I get it a little after the drip really starts but that's not a definite.

overall it's a great snus, perfect snus for all day use and I'm glad I ordered 3 rolls of this.

If you like general products I see no reason you won't like this.


ok Burnsey your turn
