General Onyx, Black Strong Portion Snus

Our General Onyx, Black Portion Review

Launched in 2006 by Swedish Match AB, General Onyx portion snus is classified as a white type portion even though the material used in Onyx is black! As you all remember, white type portions do not go thru the final step in the manufacturing process that adds a bit more moisture to the portion. While this leaves the material a bit dry, Swedish Match uses a soft, black colored teabag type material that stays comfortable in the lip for as loge as the flavor lasts which is about 2 hours. Each can of General Onyx contains 24, one gram portions with each having 11 mg of Nicotine and arranged in the trademark “Star” pattern that Swedish Match reserves for only it’s top of the line snus brands! General Onyx’s can is made of black plastic with a flat black label that has gloss black embellishments. The Used portion compartment cap on the top of the lid is also embossed with the General logo on silver foil. The can is pretty unique but the snus inside is even more unique so, let’s take a look! General Onyx is described, by most people that have tried it, as Swedish Match’s crown jewel of the General snus line and we tend to agree. General Onyx’s flavor is of hand selected tobaccos from around the world, salt, black pepper and lemon. “Don’t you mean Bergamot?” No, General Onyx is one of the few Swedish snus brands that actually use lemon flavor instead of bergamot and the taste of lemons really matches well with the tobacco flavor. The taste is actually close to a grilled lemon with a bit of salt and black pepper sprinkled over it. The tobacco adds a bit of earthiness and a hint of sweetness which levels the flavor out! But, this is what we think of General Onyx’s flavor. We want to hear what you taste. So, give General Onyx portion snus a try and add a can or two to your next order. Be sure to leave a review of your own and let us know what you think. We’ll be looking forward to reading it!
