Poor General Wintergreen pouches?

[argument]

I did a google search for "general wintergreen leakage" and came across this thread.

I have had some real trouble with these portions opening up in my gob. I reckon the wintergreen oil is actually the culprit. They feel greasier than normal snus portions, and I wonder if there isn't some solvent effect going on, or whether the material is different.

I've been snusing since october 08 and have been working my way through the catalog at Buysnus.com - I'm sorry to say I won't be ordering this one again.

It's partly the manufacturing problem with these portions, but also the taste. If only I had known that "wintergreen" was the same as the antiseptic agent (Methyl salicylate) in Germolene and Euthymol smokers toothpaste!

Anyways, just another post to say, yeah, they come apart in my mouth too.

This is my theory as well; a lot of people claim that the portion material feels softer, but I also think it's the wintergreen flavor. And as far as portions coming loose, it seems to be an occasional problem with Offroad Wintergreen as well as General. Not to mention that the longer they sit in the tin, the worse it gets.

Oh, and welcome to the board!

Thanks for the welcome! Just read through the "top 5 snus" thread, lots to read and enjoy here it seems. I'll post an intro on the appropriate thread and look forward to joining in
