General Snus
General Snus is a smokeless tobacco taken orally that has a long and illustrious history. General Snus originates in Sweden and has been used by Swedes for over 200 years and today is the largest snus brand in Sweden. Like grappa or Scotch, snus had a very humble beginning. Snus was originally developed by grinding up tobacco and mixing it with flavorings, salt and water. The working class preferred snus to regular smoking tobacco since it allowed them to keep their hands free while working, yet still get the full effect of the tobacco. It was also a lot cheaper than traditional tobacco which added to its appeal.
General Snus as a brand is a result of early 20th century ventures in Sweden which use a secret tobacco formula owned by Swedish Match the company that produces General Snus, for what is now commonly known as snus. Prior to the 1900’s there were various manufacturers of snus in Sweden whose formulas for making snus were very simple and were eventually refined and improved into what is now known as the General Snus brand. As it has turned out, General Snus is synonymous with snus throughout the Nordic region and is known as the standard in snus.
