    Took a sample of General OP at a local cigar store. Spit it out after a few minutes and tried a sample of the wintergreen. Bought 2 tins of the wintergreen and away we go.........
    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





    I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

          One of the things that seems apparent is while we dis Camel SNUS, it seems to be the gateway to the real thing. Without it, many of us may never have entered the realm of real snus and given up the smoking habit.

            I was chewing after quitting smoking, but when I realized that chewing had to go to, I tried camel frost and winterchill. Did that for a while, then found general at a local shop. First real snus was general mini mint, followed by mint white and wintergreen. First time trying a full sized portion, the nic hit me in the face and had to spit it out after like 10 mins. I remember walking around the mall all nic-ed up and out of it, lol.

            Not too long after I was using the entire US lineup of general. One day I was looking around online at snus from sweden, this site popped up somewhere, and here I am

              You are right about that. I had forgotten they used to giveaway a free can if mellow or that other stuff if you bought a pack of cigs.
              I have not tried any of the new stuff they are making now. I won't need to I have found real snus from across the pond.

                I started with Marlboro Spearmint then Camel Winterchill and Frost. I placed an order for Swedish snus and while I was waiting I bought a can of Grand Prix spearmint (it was the only thing the tobacco shop had) It's a good thing I had already placed an order or that Grand Prix may have made me re think it. When my order came The first two I tried were Thunder Frosted and Jakobssons Wintergreen one right after the other. I started to feel sick and spit it out. After trying to chain snus Frosted and Jaks I finally got the hang of how much was enough.

                  I first tried some Ettan los that my brothers co-worker had given him about 10 years ago, didn't really like it, and didn't think about snus for about 5-6 years. Then came the camel, from there it was Swedish all the way, my first Swedish that I actually purchased was Catch Eucalyptus mini I think.

                    camel frost. then tried all these on the same day they were delivered Röda Lacket, Skruf Cranberry, Göteborgs Rape, Gotland Yellow, General Portion, Gotland Green, Catch Eucalyptus. I think the catch was first of them all and the second being gote rape which almost vomited onto my steering wheel.

                          I remember first buying Nordic Ice here at a tobacco shop in town. Undeterred by that horrible experience, I decided to buy some Camel Frost a couple months later to give it a go (hey, when you start with something as bad as NI, even Camel "snus" tastes like the greatest thing ever). Luckily, a few weeks after I happened to see that they had started carrying General products...I bought a can of General White, found SnusOn, and the rest was history.

                            My first one like so many others was camel frost. This was when the line was first introduced. As I recall I randomly found some coupons for a free tin, didn't even have to buy a pack of smokes, in with the coupons at work (I work retail but we don't sell and have never sold camel snus, so that was an odd coincidence).

                            First real stuff I think was skruf tranbar. I was an active member at snuffhouse at the time and I ran across this member that was just getting into snuff while I was just getting into snus, and so we made a trade. I sent him an assortment of snuffs and he sent me several snus types to try. I liked the skruf tranbar immediately, though have lost interest in it since then, but it seemed to be a good introduction to swedish snus. Honestly I don't even remember what else he sent me, but this was several years ago.

                              Camel Frost was my first snus which was OK. General OP was my first real snus which was and still is fantastic!
