American Wintergreen

[bakerbarber]

I'm about half through a can of General Wintergreen.

It is pretty close to American mint dip.

At first I had the spit reflex due to the similarity to dip flavor. Anyone who has blown chunks from learning how to chew knows what I mean.

I found the juice no problem at all.

It has a certain sweetness to it. Not as sweet as Triumph. The salt I've come to expect in snus is there- if in the background. The flavor lasts really long and tones down after the first 5 or 10 minutes.

At first the sweet mint is pretty strong. No subtle here, unless you're actually comparing it to American dip. As snus goes it's flavorful.

Pretty good. I would definitely recommend these to anyone trying to transition to snus from chew like Skoal. Wish I would have tried them sooner. A shame this flavor is only in portions.

General Wintergreen is one of my top 5 - I always keep some with me.
Next order, I get a roll....

Funny some part of my brain remembered getting sick on Skoal. I probably haven't had it in 5 years. I was pretty exclusive to Copenhagen between cigarettes. I really felt like I should spit with the first portion of general wintergreen even though I've NEVER even got so much as a growl in my stomach from snus.

I've said before I'm not partial to mint. I'm really glad I tried General's version. They got it right for sure.

Goes to show how different snus is than dip. All the sweet stuff here almost made me not try something.

Wasabi flavor next!

I hated it when I first tried it for the same reason; it tasted like dip. I developed a liking for it, but now it seems to be hard to find. :evil: The tobacco store local to me does not carry it anymore due to slow sales, and Buysnus does not carry it apparently....

I have a guy a few miles from me that sells it (and Catch Peppermint).
I found it online at http://swedishsnus.com/US/start.asp

I'll have a roll of it in my next order....
