I'm not ashamed to say it, I like General Wintergreen :P

[Reynard]

Hi guys,

So one snus I wanted to try from my recent acquisitions was General Wintergreen. I've heard all the negative reviews, but I needed to try it. I've tried both the Offroad Wintergreen portions, lös, long cut and the same for Thunder. I wasn't that keen, but with not a lot else on the market at that time I made do. Then I tried Jakobsson's Wintergreen, and I loved it! I am in the UK, and prior to snusing have no experience of Gaultheria procumbens or 'methyl salicylate' in anything other than maybe germolene and deep heat. From what I gather it's popular in the states.

So I opened up a can (which I bought in person at Snus2, but with an American warning label on!) and took a deep whiff. Nice. Not quite the intensity of aroma of Jakobsson's, but very pleasant nonetheless.

Tastewise - I love it! Instant burn and a lingering wintergreen taste. Not as in-your-face as the Jak's, quite mellower. Now I'm glad I got half a roll of it! Just where on earth i'd be able to get it now though, is beyond me :S

I am positive some folks here on the board can accomodate you with General wintergreen, just post something in the trading section.

Thanks mate, I hadn't thought of that

I knew they kept making that nasty stuff for a reason.

It's a miracle!!! Someone actually likes it..

Whitney Houston passed and someone likes General wintergreen. Are these signs of the apocalypse?

[jagmanss]

A miracle!!! Indeed! Well! That's 1 out of 100,000,000

Anyone else? Surley there are more, Afterall they stopped making alot of really good other snus and kept this for someone....

Meh... I'm looking forward on trying Jakobssons and Thunder Wintergreen. Not General though (Not a Swede Match fan plus too many people saying no to this snus)

*gasp*

I have a bunch of the trial packs of 4 General WG, I'm sure as hell not gonna use em'. Send me a PM, maybe we can work out a trade if you want - I'm lookin' to try some of the cuban brands or Lucky Strike (Nites preferably). I have like 10 packs or so (around 40 portions), not much, but I figure they're better off getting used by you than in the trash at some point.

I have much more of the mint too if anyone is looking for any of that, not a mint guy either really.

[stubby2]

I like general wintergreen and have used it for over 2 1/2 years. Lately I finally got around to trying the general mint and am liking that at least as much. They are not an all day snus as I seldom do more then one a day, but it's a nice break from the usual tobacco/bergamot type snus which is my mainstay.

I really don't get all the wintergreen haters around here. It's a very popular flavor for dippers.

[Snusify]

Wintergreen is awesome but only 2 snus brands come close to an acceptable wintergreen taste that is jacobbsons and general.

but despite the snus efforts nothing comes close to the cheap dirty raw wintergreen blast you get from grizzly long cut wintergreen. this dip maketh the man. btw chad was sick
