REVIEW: NEW General Classic Licorice Original Portion

As far as I'm concerned, this snus has generated the most excitement I've had since last year's Kardus announcement.  Let me be the first to say, it didn't disappoint.  This review in 3 words:  "best licorice snus on the market", okay 6 words, but the first three do sum it up *grins*

Appearance: 9.5/10 Nice black can, full size catch lid.  Black labels, yellow accent... it's just nice, clean and simple.  The reason it loses a half point here is General's logo (really not a fan of frilly fonts on tobacco).
Aroma: 10/10 Exactly what you'd expect a licorice snus to smell like... clean black licorice (anise/licorice root), and tobacco.
Mouth Feel: 9/10 It's the same portion material used in the new Grov Stark (same can for that matter), and it is moist, nice room for in the portion for movement/positioning, and while a little abrasive, I haven't found it irritating.
Flavor: 10/10 Licorice, tobacco, salt.  (read: no sweeteners to muddy the waters).  There is also a good deal of the signature "General Spiciness" going on. If you're a fan of the "salt licorice" Swedish candy, you absolutely can't miss this one.
Nic Hit: 9/10 Standard 8mg/g of nicotine.  Comes on fast (almost immediate), but lasts up to an hour no problem. Really satisfies.
Drip: 8/10 It's an original portion, so drip is imminent.  That said, I have had worse.
Overall: 9.3/10  A very fair assessment, as far as licorice snus is concerned it's 10/10.  I'd love to see a los on this one.

General has definitely hit a home run here.  Calling it "Classic Licorice" is spot on, as this one is destined to become an instant classic, and will be ordered frequently by yours truly.
