General Onyx Silver is one of General’s newer creations. This is a original portion snus which comes in pretty black pouches instead of the normal white color. (Hence the name “Onyx”.). This snus used to be named just “General Onyx”, but since the recent release of General Onyx Guld (Gold) the name has been changed to General Onyx Silver.

Flavor

Swedish Match describes the flavor of General Onyx Silver as a snus that has a “powerful and spicy tobacco flavor with a prominent flavor of bergamot orange and a hint of sweet liquorice.”. I have to agree with them on that, when you open the box the first thing that hits you is a very prominent smell of bergamot which brings memories of Earl Grey tea. Personally i have always enjoyed a hint of Bergamot in my snus and this snus has taken it a bit further while keeping a nice tobacco flavor. All in all a nice tasting snus.

Pouches and Can

General Onyx Silver comes in a black can with pure black pouches inside which are packaged in the familiar circular design. The pouches are comfortable under the lip while the can is the standard Swedish Match can with a decently sized catchlid. (Remember to always use the catchlid and recycle both pouches and cans!). Nothing to complain about here.

Conclusion

General Onyx Silver is another good product from Swedish Match which i will keep using on a regular basis. It’s a nice change from my ususal favorite Lundgrens Skåne. The familiar flavor of Bergamot and Tobacco with nice Black Pouches and a nice level of moisture makes this a nice snus for daily use. If you like the normal General Portion i would think you might like this one too.
