Goteborgs rape mini or goteborgs rape No.2 (lingonberry flavored) is another good choice which I'm about to receive tomorrow myself, it's 8mg but it's weaker than say general white. Camel frost apparently toned down the sweetness a bit so that might work too but I haven't tried it recently so can't recommend it. I haven't had fellinni but it's 8mg a portion and not 4mg according to northerner.
    Just a correction as Northerner is not always correct about how many mg per portion and see they still have not corrected this( and many others )for god knows how long... I have had the fellinni mint which is very good if you like the taste of andy's mint and is a 4mg portion not 8mg as are all of the fellinni line ....

    From Snuscentral and everybody else....Pouch size: 12x28 mm
    Content/box: 22,6 gram (24 portion)
    Water: 52% (52% normal portion)
    Nicotine: 8 mg/g (4 mg/g per portion) Salt: 5 %

    People need to stop taking what Northerner says as the word of snus Gods....

      Couldn't agree more. Keep a tin in your fridge and try it in a few months. It took me by surprise later on down the road and now it's the snus I use about 80% of the time. It's much, much better than I thought upon my first try of it. It grows on you. Now I hardly use any flavored snuses at all.

        Thanks for all the recommendations!

        I picked up some more General mini mint locally to keep me going for now until I figure out what I will try ordering next time. I realized after the fact, since I know I like the General Mini mint, I should have just ordered that as the majority, and then 1 or 2 cans of the others I want to try! Should have did that to begin with.. That will be what I do next order..

        Oh and its the General DRY mini mint that I have been using. I keep saying General mini mint, but I guess I am liking the dry portions better then the moist ones. Maybe why I also liked the Marlborough.. besides the sweetness.

        Only been having a half cig in the morning the last few days, nothing else smoke wise. What a great feeling to only have gone through like 4 total smokes in the last 7 days. I am just waiting for my brain to get re-trained without all those smokes spread out through the day. Still get those passing feelings of, time to have a smoke.. but they pass without stress pretty quickly since I have the snus in the majority of the time at the moment. I actually like a beer with snus better then with a smoke. The mini mints go well to me with a beer.

          For future reverence Buysnus appears to have the best selection of minis though they don't carry Northern purified snus

          http://www.buysnus.com/Search.aspx?Cat=2&Sub=1

          Something I've been using lately that you may like are Ariva and Stonewall dissolvables. If you like sweet this may work

            My favorite snus is general wintergreen white portions. I has a very good wintergreen flavor and I find when I fold the poortion the flavor comes out just right. if you can get the mint where you are you should be able to get wintergreen or see if they can get a shipment in. Also I just ordered some jakobsonns icefruit portions and I hear they are very sweet, they should be coming in today so I will let ya know when I try them!
            Sorry if this was already posted, but it didn't see it

              Thanks for that!

              I would have never tried the fellinni based on what I read else ware since I thought it was 8mg per portion.

              I bought some more and found the fellinni licorice to be great! much much better black licorice flavor then the catch. It's almost like I have a piece of blackjack gum stuck in my lip (without the sugar) which is what I was looking for.

              I also tried the purified 3mg black licorice and the citrus. The purified black licorice is better then the catch in strength of black licorice but still not as good as the fellinni to me. I do like the purified for my first portion of the day though, since the nicotine seems to hit quicker with it.

              The citrus purified is not that strong flavor wise so I probably won't be getting it again but its not bad.

              Will be trying some others next time I order.

              I also got some fellinni mint. (these are all white mini portions) I have not tried that yet.

              I wound up just buying allot of the General mini mint since it seems to be my favorite choice for now.

              Thanks for the recommendations everyone.

                I started my snus adventure with Camel "SNUS" frost.
                I moved on later to general mint portions
                General mint portions are mildly sweet, one of my favorite snuses
                Jakobssons mint strong is sweeter than General, also has more nicotine.

                If you do decide to make another order, try some Grovsnus, and Roda Lacket, I don't think you will regret it.

                  I saw a review of the Jakobsonns icefruit and if I recall correctly it was described as almost a juicy fruit like taste.

                  I would be interested in your take on it.

                  That sounds cool to me, unfortunately it is like 9mg of nicotine per portion, I guess I could just cut them in half though.

                    I was in the same boat as you. I first used Camel Frost and upon having my first taste of Swedish Snus, I was sort of disappointed. During my initial transition, all I could taste was salt, but now I hardly notice it. When I finally broke open my Jakobssons Icefruit, it was great. It was the first Swedish Snus I thoroughly enjoyed. It does indeed have a "juicy fruit" taste to it. It seems subtle, but you can easily make the connection. For me, it's a go-to snus when I want dessert. I usually keep a can open in my fridge for the occasional treat.

                    As for the nicotine content, it's just something you have to get used to over time. I have a can of Thunder Frosted in my freezer I've yet to try. It's still taunting me with its 16mg of nicotine.

                    Even though you might have a sour feeling towards Catch products, you should check into Catch Eucalyptus. I believe it comes in a mini portion as well. It was another one of my favorites during the transition phase.

                      I wound up trying the Camel frost and mild like a week ago.

                      I actually liked the Camel mild, it was super sweet though. The Camel frost just seemed to fake tasting or something, might be the artificial sweeter with the type of mint or something.. I prefer the general mini mints. I only used like 3 portions of the frost so far.

                      But I will definitely use the Camel mild occasionaly as a desert snus. Reminds me of a burnt sugar/tobacco shop smell flavored creme brule type of taste if that is possible.

                      I just saw those coola flavored, wish they had a mini in that! Cola flavored sounds really cool.

                      Anyone have any links to soft portion wrappers that one can buy? I would even buy those coola's and break them open and make my own portions if I could.

                        I dislike catch eucalyptus. it doesnt taste TERRIBLE, it just tastes off. Also makes me really thirsty. That being said, it is much better than camel, or gotlandskt julesnus.

                          I just wanted to follow up to my original post about my luck with finding a sweet (but not overly sweet) swedish snus.

                          I have tried many different portions (and some los too) with poor luck so far.

                          General dry mini mint is still my go to snus. Nothing comes close yet for me to being sweet enough (but not sickly sweet) and a nicotine hit that I enjoy. Also does not seem to be salty, maybe that is a turn off for me that I have not gotten around yet.

                          I started searching mainly just to add some variety but now it has become more of can I find a suitable replacement if mini mints were to go away ever. Since I have successfully kicked the smokes I want to feel comfortable knowing I have some options if that ever happened. Which can anyone comment is General known to kill their lines ever? I really hope not..

                          The Fellinni white mini mint comes very close to being like the general dry mini mint, but there is something in the taste I don't like (reminds me of coffee) and the nicotine feel is not the same as the gneral mini mint to me.

                          What I have bought and tried so far:

                          Northerner purified Liqorice/Lemon 3Mg nicotine
                          Northerner purified Citrus and Menthol 3Mg nicotine
                          Catch Liqorice mini portion
                          Offroad frosted loose
                          Offroad liqorice loose
                          Jakobssons Ice-Fruit Portion
                          Discreet Cool Mint
                          Discreet Peach
                          Discreet Strawberry
                          General mini
                          Fellinni Licorice White Mini Portion
                          Fellinni Mint White Mini

                          Ones I have but have not tried yet:

                          Catch Pure mint
                          Tre Ankare white mini portion
                          Roda Lacket loose
                          Landstoms loose
                          Odens classic Kanel loose

                          The Discreet peach and strawberry are sweet, (not too sweet either or salty) but just not the right nicotine hit.

                            Try Jakobsson's Mint. That's sweet without going overboard.
