General vs Northerner

[mooreted]

My local snus shop has both Northerner and General snus such as:

General Original Portion Peppermint Snus .9 Oz

​

General White Snus .9 Oz

​

Northerner Jakobsson's Classic Strong .71 Oz

​

Northerner Thunder Extra Stark Frosted .8 Oz

​

The last one looks interesting. I have only tried General Snus so far. What is the difference between the two?

Hmm, I wonder if that's just where they bought their snus. "The Northerner" is just a shopping website for buying snus. They way they list it, it looks like Northerner is a brand like General, but now I see that Jacobson is a brand.

Oh well, just got myself confused. I think I want to try a minty snus since I've only tried the tobacco flavors so far.

The General Wintergreen is Stellar!! A perfect balance of wintergreen, and the tobacco is very rich and smooth.

Thanks, so far I have liked General snus. I'll give that a try.

You are right about northerner just being a reseller. Thunder is made by V2 and although I don't care much for the thunder frost, I do really like some of their others. I haven't tried the jakobsens.

Boy, I wish the smoke shop would get the brand names right on their website. It makes it hard to find reviews of snus brands when you don't know what brand it is. Of course, their bread and butter is cigars, not snus, so maybe they don't really know or care much about it.

The main difference between the General and the other two types (besides brand and flavor) is that the Jakobsson and Thunder are strong portions. That means they have more nicotine.

General has 8 mg/g of nicotine per portion. The others have between 12 to 16 mg/g.

I mostly use General Mint. I started with the General Wintergreen but decided I like the Mint much better.

Well, reviewing the other brands, I think I'll stick to good ole General.
