Reviews of General Mini Mint.

I have received countless cans of this as the mystery can from GetSnus, and I didn't mind it as a once in a while, freshen-your-breath snus. But once I ran out of my regular snus, I figured I would hold off my order and use up some of my Mini Mint...well I have a lot left, and I placed a new order yesterday. Mini Mint is just not good....it is way too sweet and there is not even a trace of tobacco flavor. I have one in now, and I'm not enjoying it, but I need my nicotine fix.

General Dry Mini mint is actually my favorite portion. I have move mostly to los these days, but I like having these for while I'm at work. More discrete and freshens the breath. It's like popping in an Altoid, which I can understand many people aren't fond of. But when I am craving the flavor of tobacco, I head for something else.

The first few of these I used I thought the mint was way overbearing and didn't notice enough tobacco taste. Lately though I seem to pop them in very often, somehow I only taste general portions with a bit of mint gum or something quite subtle and enjoyable. Took the can to a house party and ended up having 4 different non snusers try them and all of them enjoyed them. They only worried about spitting or juice but with a dry mini it was obviously not a problem at all.

I think it is a very good snus even, might not get a nic kick until your second, and might not like the mint flavor until you're used to it then it's great really. Only complaint is that a can of regular portions lasts me 2 weeks, where as these lasted maybe 3 days and cost the same price about.

Since I was a Camel Frost user this has become a staple.

It tastes so much better compared to the American wanna be's. It lasts a long while for me and I love mint (spearmint/peppermint).

I use a Thunder Frosted to get my nic kick in the am then I use mostly General Dry Mini Mint the rest of the day. I find that I prefer the salt to the artificial sweetener flavor that I grew accustom to in the Camel Frost.

All my experience of Mini Mints has come from free samples, but there have been plenty of unsolicited free samples come my way in recent months.

At first the Minis -- always double-barreled -- tasted overwhelmingly minty and sweet-- okay in a chewing-gum way, but I don't chew gum. After a while, though, I noticed an interesting, contrast-y balance of mint/tobacco/salt coming to the fore after twenty minutes or so -- who knew those flavors could work well together? The flavor lasts, too.

Soo--not my particular thing, but those who like flavored snus would probably find Mini Mint worthwhile.

I think this is a very good treat now and then. Very tasty but not for regular all day use.

[Owens187]

Not a bad once in a while treat, but cannot be used all the time. Very, Very sweet and minty with almost no tobacco flavor. Would be good for someone new to snus, or someone who has only tries Camel "SNUS". As it does shit all over Camel when compared.

I used to enjoy these when I first starting using snus bet the mini mints get old fast and now I will only use them if it's all I have. I will say that the mint taste is very strong and they will definitely freshen your breath. I also think that the mint flavor taste a bit more natural than Camel Frost.

Tasty, but double-barreling them, though discrete in size, seems to give me a stomach irritation in the same way that Camel Snus does. I have tested this repeatedly. I prefer the full-sized General Mint, quite tasty and just as minty.

Great peppermint/spearmint/wintergreen flavor, but just not strong enough for frequent use. I used these as a switchover from camel frost to swedish snus, and still do use them occasionally, but if i'm buying a tin of general flavored it'll be regular size mint white portion. Don't get me wrong, this is a great at work / school snus and packs a good amount of flavor for its size, but just doesn't have enough nicotine to keep me going.

Outside of Camel's frost, this is my first "real" mint snus. At first, I thought there wasn't much to it. Just a little mint sansation. My first thought was " Camels were much better than this". After about 30 minutes, I noticed the flavor and the nic started to kick in. It was a bit too small for my taste though.

I wouldn't use this particular flavor everyday, but It was nice.

I was wrong, Camels simply do not compare.

[LaZeR]

I'm really enjoying this with my sinus infection and lost of taste. Might just throw this up in a review soon as my recommended goto when sick snus.

I also got a free can of this(they must have trouble getting rid of them).

Sometimes at work I'm alone, and I use los. Sometimes I'm in direct contact with people, and I use this. mini portions never use to satisfy, but This seems to still "hit" me enough that I don't think I need any more nictoine during the day. I'm sure that's the idea- discreet and just enough. It works for what it is, and yeah it's sweet but I like that, sometimes. I chew gum with one in sometimes(some other flavor than mint, too), but I'm insane.

[crookscomp]

General mini mint is pretty good. They don't have a strong nic hit but it is enough to get me through what i need it for. I use them at work as i deal with alot of people no one can tell i have it in. They are pretty sweet that is why i haven't tried any of the large mint portions yet. I'm afraid they will be to sweet. I don't taste any tobacco in these either just minty sweetness
