New N&J and Others

In the past week, Swedish Match has announced three new snus (five if you count original and white versions) other that that US one we don’t know the name of yet. Only one will be available in the US. It’s a new Nick and Johnny. It’s a 15/mg of nicotine mint monster. Then there’s a [...]

New Snus: General Smooth White

General Smooth White is kind of a surprise. Looks like the case was a hit with Catch White Medium Mint. It’s drier than your average General White (just 40% water) and it’s a little smaller with less nicotine (7mg/portion). Looks cool. Comes out March 1.
