Also give Offroad Frosted a shot! They also have Thunder Frosted ES minis if you don't want a strong one. It's a mini but with 8mg of nicotine per portion. Same great taste.

You can test this theory by looking for good reviews of Kronan

CreteCoater You and I both Know You Love Kronan. You have to Love it everybody does.




Welcome to the family Carlito!

I really do Like Kronan.

[CreteCoater]

lol its actually not bad. It doesn't have a bad taste, just takes an hour to have ANY taste. May have to make a pris a little looser and try again.

I really appreciate everyone's recommendations! There are so many to choose from it's ridiculous. For now though, I have plenty on the way through trade of the Thunder Frosted and the Jakobsson's Mint so I think I'm all set at the moment. Next go around I'll slowly start sampling all the suggestions you folks made and see what fits. It seems obvious that tastes will change as I progress and I can clearly see myself being more on the connoisseur side of things before long.

If you're a fan of mint-flavored portion snus, I'd recommend:

Catch Eucalyptus White Poriton

I'm not a mint snus fan but really do recommend the Catch Eucalyptus, and it is kind of similar to mint but not. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Update

What a difference just 2 portions make! So I went to buy a can of Jak Mint at the local tobacco shop and started to get that sickly feeling again from the juice. This happened with the first 2 portions, the feeling did pass, but I had to actually spit it out while I was driving to avoid some stomach distress.

Not giving up I decided to not start out with that while I'm driving and that I may have to spit for a minute or two. Well that didn't last and I quickly learned how to handle the flavor and the juice. Jak mint has quickly become my number one snus over General Mint and General Original!

So basically I had to find my way, if you will, and I now feel like I'm snusing like a champ. This feeling has left me optimistic that future flavors will be handled much easier and with a lot more enthusiasm. Aside from that, I actually find myself craving my snus over my e cig! Go figure. lol

Glad to hear it Jak's mint is one of my favorites glad it's available locally, best mint snus imo vs. thunder and general I would get a can of the wintergreen too. I'd recommend switching the general original with mint so you have a wider range of usable snus and maybe buying some flavored white portions get ones you'll like goteborgs rape no.2, Gotlands green, roda lacket etc. Oh and I found Odens Lakrits disgusting I couldn't finish the can. I'd recommend getting one can of general smooth white, general white, ettan, grov, tre ankre, catch eucalyptus, thunder frosted, thunder coola, or whatever looks good.

It took me like a month to use snus without spitting try drinking stuff with it, but make sure to not get the liquid in contact with the portion which isn't too hard you'll get the technique down.

I found the further back in my mouth, the more I had to spit. When I 1st snussed, I had to spit, but when I finally moved it more up front, I didn't need to spit.

Happy that it's working out for you. I'm only into my 6th week of snusing and started with General Trial packs. I too love mint so in my next order I went with 1-2 cans of several different mint brands. My next order will be a couple more new ones and more of my favorites. It's all trial and error, but it's fun getting there. I've totally given up cigarettes thanks to the snus and wish you luck! Enjoy!
