Unflavored Snus

Different people may draw the line about what classes as a “flavor” in different places. On this page, we’re classing all products with dominant tobacco flavors as being unflavored.

Popular Unflavored Snus Options

No flavor doesn’t have to mean no choices. Let’s break down some of the top options for this category — including dry, moist, regular, and large products. 

General

For those opting for unflavored snus due to its traditional taste profile, it’s hard to beat General snus.  After its launch, General Snus Original remains much-loved by a loyal customer base (and continues to bring in new fans, too).

The iconic Swedish product consists of 22 tobacco types and has a blend that also includes notes of bergamot, citrus, and more. It comes in the form of plump, moist portions with 8.5mg/g of nicotine.

Another option is General Snus White, which has the same formulation but comes in a white portion. This causes less mess due to its dryness.

Grizzly

Grizzly Natural Snus might be all-American, but it emulates a classic Swedish flavor profile with its notes of bergamot. But the intense tobacco is at the center of everything, just as it should be.

It offers a modern twist thanks to the use of spitfree pouches, which are specially designed for ease of use. As the name suggests, they don’t cause salivation and spit that’s associated with more traditional snus portions.

Camel

Camel offers two unflavored choices — Camel Snus Mellow and Camel Snus Robust Large. 

The difference between the two comes down to their intensity and their size. Mellow offers a smooth, milder experience and comes in regular-sized portions. Meanwhile, Robust has a stronger, spicier taste and comes in a full-bodied larger portion. Both are dry to minimize salivation.

Fun fact — Camel and Grizzly are both owned by the same parent company, Reynolds American.

Why Choose Unflavored Snus?

Everyone enjoys snus for different reasons. Some love experimenting with different taste profiles, while others are all about the nicotine.

Here are some of the top reasons to choose an unflavored product:

• Keep things classic. When snus was first introduced, it always focused on tobacco. As some say, why fix it if it ain’t broke?
• No distractions. Sometimes, fruity and minty flavors can distract from what snus is all about — tobacco and nicotine. Unflavored snus doesn't have that problem.
• Flavor bans. Not everyone reaches for unflavored snus as their first choice — sometimes, it’s simply the only option by law. For those living in states where flavors are restricted, the good news is that there are plenty of great products.
