    Triumph Mint

    I know it's talked about alot in various threads, but I haven't seen it's own in a while.

    I sure do love Triumph Mint. It's so good.

    Is anyone in an area that sells it, or knows of any online places that sell it? (I haven't seen any since the place I got it stopped selling it.)

    Let's share info.

    ----

    My review from 15May09 of it.

    The best way to describe Triumph is an American flavored Swedish Snus. This product is made by Swedish Match, and by my estimation, made for those who have had their taste buds ruined by Camel Snus. My snus of choice right now is General Mini Mint. It's a quality Swedish Snus, and the only one I frequently reorder other than Mocca Pomegranate, which I use in between every 5-10 portions of General Mini Mint.

    Upon holding the Triumph can, I notice it looks like a Swedish Snus can. From the used snus compartment on top, to the way the snus is positioned inside, much like a regular General portion. The portions are white, and about the regular size, same as a white portion traditional Swedish Snus. The portions are only slightly moist, and are a better quality than Klondike or Nordic Ice. I consider Triumph to be the Ligget/Basic/USA Gold of the snusworld.

    On to the product. For Triumph being a Swedish Snus, it has NO Swedish Snus smell. It's interesting. I popped in a portion and immediately was greeted with a nice, clean mint flavor. This doesn't have any cheesy names like "Peppermint Explosion" or "Icy Extravaganza", it's just straight up Triumph MINT. No games, no BS. Would you expect less from Swedish Match. That being said, this is a mild snus. Nothing too strong, overbearing, just a mild, smooth, mint taste. This would be a great step between Camel Frost and real Swedish Snus.

    This has a clean, mint taste all the way through. The other two had no drip, this is the first one out of the 3 I got today that has a drip. It has a strong, mint drip. Very good taste though, Swedish Match should put this as the next step up General Mini Mint and call it "General Mint" and make it just a little stronger and a little more Swedish. For people in the states not quite ready to order a Swedish Snus, I suggest trying it if you see it. It's a good product.

    Very interested in this as well. There's no snus like it.

      It's alright. Too sweet for my tastes, but it's better than Camel.

        I really want to try this one. How does it compare to the Discreet "Cool Mint" ?

          It is in a class all of it's own, my friend. I really can't compare it to anything. It's just....good.

            Wait... and this is supposed to be a compliment? :shock:

            Seriously, though, Basics are okay but Liggett and USA Gold are the awfulest and lowest-quality cigarettes I've ever encountered. Even Austin is better, and that's pretty sad :P

              I smoke Basics.

              I think I made that reference because even though Basic is considered an "off brand", in my eyes/mind - they're just as good (IMO better) than their big brother, Marlboro.

                  I'm a 20 minute drive from Youngstown, OH here in western PA. Any suggestions on where to look for in the area?

                        So I've called the 1-877 number and got transfered to several different people then ultimately an Eastern Ohio branch number (330) exchange where I spoke with yet 2 more Lorillard reps. The best I could do was to find out some retail chains to call such as Sheetz, Circle K... as they couldn't or wouldn't tell me any specific ones. Something to do with contractual agreements as to not favor one chain over another. :roll:

                        Guess I will start calling these stores directly once I find their locators online. I almost feel like I'm on a mission now to figure this out. :lol:

                          Sheetz is probably your best bet. In MD at least, they tend to carry the oddities and promotions more than other stores do.

                            In Columbus its at every Sunoco. I'm not a mint fan but I love the original Triumph. It was my first snus. Thankfully I have still not had the Camel snus.

                              Once a month I drive to my local circle k (ok, not even close to local, 2 hours away) and stock up on Triumph. I was bummed that this month they only had Mint. It is my favorite Triumph, but I like original too.

                              He'll, might as well pop one in now
