    Are there any really good mini portions?

    My lös and regular portion favorites are set (Skruf and N&J) though I'll be sampling others, but I have yet to find a mini that I can be enthusiastic about.

    I've tried General, Tre Ankare, LD, and Wise, none of which seem to have much depth or character. The Wise 6mg has a nice kick, but to me it's not really even snus. Rather, it's merely an efficient, albeit characterless nicotine delivery system.

    Is it that with the small size you taste more of the paper? I'd really like to find a mini that will be my "go-to" snus for situations when absolute discretion is a priority. And I'm not necessarily averse to flavors, as long as it doesn't try to taste like candy or something. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I really like the Level minis. I also like the slim container it comes in.

      I hardly can think of ever buying miniportions again. I also tested them and they just weren't satisfying. Mocca Pomegranate might be worth a try. I've tried the Mandarin (now discontinued) and it was a quality product that gave a relatively good nic-kick.

      BTW, you could use two of them at once for discretion and a reasonable kick.

      Cheers!

        All of the Mocca mini's are top notch. Superb quality, and I have always loved the little metal tins.

        I am not much for minis, but will occasionally throw a Mocca into my mix

          Good call. I dug the Mocca Mandarin, and i'm kinda pissed they discontinued the line. I didn't buy them all that often, but they were solid, flavorful and satisfying.

          Cheers,

            Yeah, I think I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Since Knox discontinued Knox minis (which were the only minis worth trying), Mocca Pomegranate is probably the best of the bunch.

              The best mini I've had is LD Black. They had the strongest flavor of any of them, but you have to like licorice.

                I've had Tre, CatchDry Eucalyptus, Licorice and Cassis Menthol, and Mocca Anis and Pomegranate.

                Cassis Menthol is my favorite so far, very pleasant smell and taste, the other two seemed a lot weaker, but in particular the Licorice felt very hot, dark, and muddy. Not very good. The Mocca Anis is a much better licorice flavor. Pomegranate was a (good) punch in the face when I first opened it, but it got tiring as I went through the tin. I have the Mocca Mint waiting to try.

                Tre smelled like a used sock filled with dried weeds when I first opened it. But it was my first snus so my mind just overreacted. I got used to it and it became... comforting.

                Edit: I've been on my last Cassis Menthol of the tin for at least an hour and a half, and that nice sweetness is still there, and the juice is mild, mild, mild. I might have to get a roll of it with my next order.

                  I've got 4 cans of knox minis that I've kept frozen. They are the best mini snus I think, too bad they are discontinued. After these I'll have to find another mini to use when I'm at work. I use regular portions at home and minis at work
