    Just about perfect!

    I have spent a lot of time and money trying to find a snus that I am completely happy with. After having recently tried General Mini Mint and finding myself pleased that the sometimes cloying sweetness of the larger size was cut down in the smaller format, I guessed that the sometimes overwhelming bitterness in General OP and WP regular size format would be more manageable in the smaller format as well. So I rolled the dice and ordered 20 cans of General Mini WP and am very happy with the taste. It is exactly like it's larger sibling except that I do not find the bitterness to be overwhelming at all. Very happy!

    If you think I'm crazy for finding General to be bitter, please understand that I've always avoided bitter tastes like the plague. I like most beers but avoid IPAs and other really hoppy beers like the plague and I don't eat grapefruits either. Perhaps by the time I get done with these 20 cans, where I find the bitterness to be quite manageable, I may have to revisit IPAs, grapefruit, and the regular size General portions.

    Congratulations! Finding a favourite snus brand is not easy. I think everyone here has gone or is going through this phase, me included.

    I was lucky enough to begin with a brand that totally convinced me, nicotine-delivery-wise, and didn't even have an off-putting taste, but still made me look for something better-tasting. Soon, this brand became an absolute favourite that I ordered by the roll.

    Finding a favourite brand is part of the fun. I only ever threw one can in the garbage after two or three portions. It was a snus that tasted like tooth-paste, really unbearable, while being advertised as "pure tobacco". It's long discontinued, and according to everyone else's judgement, I simply must have received a can from a bad batch.

    After a while one just gets used to the typical taste of snus. There even was another dicontinued brand that was really really bitter tasting, I barely managed to empty the can, simply because I hate to let anything go to waste, but today I would like to give it another try, if it was still produced. I wouldn't order it by the roll, though!

    Cheers!

      I have found myself doubling up on the portions already, so I suppose I'll keep doing that till it's time to reorder and then just order the standard white portion from now on.

      I really wanted to try G.3 Long Portions but the vendor sent me the Strong version instead, twice... How does the G3 General Slim White Portion taste compare to General White Portion?
