    I like the Melon too, but can't use it all day. Its great for dessert, and refreshing on a hot day. Their flavors last long, too.

      The melon flavor is really good, it's a great snus just not an everyday for me, and you should totally try Jaks wintergreen it's the best wintergreen in the market in my opinion it's the closest thing to a traditional american wintergreen flavor,

        yea the jak mint have an twist to the herbal way so you are spot on. i think that US mint you are asking for will be hard since American chew is made from another tobacco base and that in combo with mint and to Swedish style tobacco will be hard

        It´s a bit different in Wintergreen since the wintergreen flavor is so pungent and dominant

        But you will hopefully find some great mint!
        have you tried our Melon snus? it´s a very strong and sweet flavor that is our biggest seller (it was first made for the US market)
        See I'm spot on with my taste tests so I think that should grant me a recommendation for the job [emoji41] lol but I've tried melon and it was good just not a everyday snus for me, I plan on trying all the Jaks flavors so far I've only had wintergreen mint and melon. And I'm sure I'll find a mint snus I love here soon. But hey it might be hard to make a U.S. Style mint snus but if anyone can do it its Jaks! I mean yall aced the wintergreen flavor I'm sure yall can whip something up! I would love to see some more flavor options for Jaks

          Ravekidd you should check out catch spearmint. From what you're describing I think you'd like it.

              I love mint snus. This is my experiance.

              Odens Cold Line...Stuff is amazing. Love the regular strength and I swear the fermentation changes how it hits your brain. Unlike any snus I have tried, but maybe that's because it's barely snus by modern standards. Zero sweetness

              General Mint...a solid snus. Love how this stuff smells. It's amazing, taste is sweet which can be a nice treat however I can find it offsetting depending on my mood. We are lucky though to find it in our US gas stations it's top shelf stuff.

              Jakob. Mint....Unlike any mint I have tried. Only thing I don't like is the strength, too strong, but amazing AMAZING stuff. Very creamy and herbal snus. Unlike anything I have tried, and the portions are filled with such fluffy tobacco. Grab a can

              G3 mint.....stuff is horrible. Has a mild sweetness that tastes very artificial. Tastes nothing like it smells. Has too much nicotine clocking in at 14 mg, watch your tolerance sky rocket. Back to taste it just tastes bad, I thought it was next to impossible to screw up a mint snus but this one found a way. I just threw out 20 cans of it....thank heavens I bought them on a 1 day 50% off sale.

              XR mint snus- Similar to Odens in that it's a zero sweetness snus that tastes great. (However Odens is the Gold standard). What I didn't like is that the tobbacco isn't fluffy at all, and the portion material feels rougher. Also has some wood/cedar notes that make it unique. It's great stuff though, and I do like that it's pasturized.

              Off Road frosted....I'm not sure how much sulfuric acid they put in these portions but this crap is so corrosive to your gums. I threw away the freaking can. Expect to get a lukoplakia diagnosis at your next dental visit or serious recession because it's so harsh. Not talking about a smooth mint burn here, it's straight up like rubbing your gums with sand paper and pouring lemon juice on it. Stay far away

                I'm gonna try odens cold here soon, I got a can of it in my shopping cart for my next order. General mint is pretty good, I like the sweetness but I agree it is to sweet at times. I also live in the US so if I'm out of snus waiting on a order I go grab me a can or two of general mint. I liked Jaks mint but I didn't really like some of the added flavors to it, it had like a honey piney hint to it that I didn't care much for. But it was overall pretty good, I also got a can of XR mint in my cart as well that I'm excited about, I basically ordered a can of all the mint flavors I haven't tried yet that I found on snus24, I agree that off-road frosted is disgusting that and Thunder frosted is for the birds lol

                  Make sure you get Scruf mentha! I really wanted to try that. Make sure you pose your reviews when you get a chance.

                      Coming over from dipping Skoal Mint LC almost exclusively, I am having a difficult time tasting any flavor whatsoever in the General White Mint portions. It just seems like a nicotine kick, which I feel, but I can barely taste anything. The first snus I ever had was the Camel Frost (oh no!!) and I've read about the differences between US/Swedish because of the artificial flavors and sugar, but is there any Swedish snus that even comes close to that type of intensity mint-wise? Again, it's not that I disliked the General Mint it's just that the flavor is so faint to me. I'm used to going through a tin of Skoal in about 4 pinches, so size wise the difference of what I'm used to in tobacco size might be the biggest problem?

                      Also, the places around here have the General fridge with the Original, White, Wintergreen, Mint, and then 12 pk Nordic. Is the Nordic a more flavorful mint? And do they sell the regular mint in original portions instead of white? The white might be too dry for what I'm used to coming from dipping. I mess around with it in my mouth non stop just trying to suck some flavor out of it.

                        Welcome, United. Nordic is more of a wintergreen flavor, if I remember correctly. I'm not crazy about the General mints, because all I taste is sugary mint, and not much else. I've got no dip experience so, I can't compare it to Skoal.

                            United I dipped mint skoal for years before I switched over to snus and I found that thunder cool mint hit the mark for me.

                                My current favourites are Skruf Mynta and LAB 22. General Mint, Thunder and Nick and Johnny Crushed Ice were not to my tastes.
                                Though i want to try N&J Green ice, i am sad it replaced Desert green. Luckily i panic bought a few cans for the freezer .
