      That sounds bizarre. My first guess is label confusion.

      Does it seem to be long cut? If not it is probably snus.

      Another possibility might be a pirate/counterfeit product, I guess.

        I think its realy General, and SM just trying to import their products into EU countries with snus BAN... but I dont know, if this product is safe like snus, coz when is wrote "chewing tobacco" at the can, and tobacco inside tastes like snus, so I realy dont know... I have some photos which I can upload.

          They are not more carcinogenic. Relax if you like them use them.

                      Kenny09, you hit the reason for it exactly, it gets around the ban on "snus" Chewing tobacco was grandfathered in. But it is really the same, use, enjoy, etc. :lol: :lol:

                        Yeah, I'd like to see that, too. It would be interesting to try a longcut General...

                          So, this is box with tobacco:

                          http://imb.lide.cz/big/4AC9C4B0F526C....jpg?#77479295

                          And this is inside:

                          http://imb.lide.cz/big/4AC9C4CF61C5E....jpg?#77479314

                          Im confused again, because when nobody of you never heard about this, I dont know, what I am supposed to think about this...

                            I've never seen that before, but I'm betting it's snus with a longer cut. My guess is that Swedish Match changed the cut to avoid the appearance of impropriety. Changing the label of snus to say chewing tobacco is a little obvious, so they changed the cut also so they wouldn't be accused of skirting EU law.
