Thinking about switching to Mini's

[Liandri]

Granted I still have a crap ton of Ettan. But was wondering how everyone else feels about Mini. That sampler pack of discreet was really enjoyable and the few mini's I've tried I actually enjoyed and kept them in longer than regular size. Generals mini mints are still my favorite and could see myself using those full time until I decided to begone with tobacco all together. Unfortunately my favorite brand isn't a mini or else I wouldn't even have to post this.

This is still in the brainstorming stage. Just asking for others opinion on mini's.

I just don't the minis. But there are times I think about quitting. I really don't think it unhealthy per se, my teeth have been bothering me lately a little though. But I entertain the idea of just not "using" anything. But I am stocked, and want to consider it all more, I don't find it expensive either, and I do like it, so I just don't know at this time. But I really like the starks the best it seems, because they seem to have a stronger flavor. But I have also thought about General Silver. Not a mini, but a lower nic. But then I don't know. But if you like minis, and do have an idea to quit in the future, seems like an idea to cut down on dependence.

I don't like minis. There isn't enough flavor for me, and I don't like the mouth feel as well as full sized portions. The nicotine works ok. If it weren't for the above issues, I could use minis.

I like minis. I wasn't too big on them at first, but I am using them more and more, and sterks and extra-sterks less (although I do happen have a General ESP in right now).

I really like the Taboca Strong Minis, and I also dig LD and General minis (though not the mint, in my case). I even enjoyed my first can of minis, which were Phantoms, but I can't call those favorites. Unlike 90% of the forum, apparently, I'm not too big on Thunder, though I still intend to try some of their minis one of these days.

I just don't like the feel of mini's. When I use them, I always use two together.

I just recently tried a General Mini Mint via one of the samplers I received from ClubSnus even though I've had an unopened can in the fridge now for over a month. I am rather impressed by the flavor and duration. In this same order, I got some Thunder Frosted Mini's as I've really taken a liking to the Thunder Frosted ES portions. Not bad at all. I may eventually aim to up my usage of the "mini's" and use snuff more as a nicotine booster.

Tom502- getting any gum recession?

[tom502]

rkh- ya' know, I really don't know. My gums arn't the best, but I don't think they are "bad", but I think whatever gum issues I have, I had before snus, so it may not make it any better. It is a concern, but I honestly can't say I have noticed anything. If I did, noticeable change in the negative, I think I would outright quit. I sure don't want to mess my mouth up. If anything does happen, I can't put the finger blame on snus, as I've had gum concern before I knew what snus was. I think it's more directed to my bad diet, and general aging. But I think any foreign object in my gum would cause some discomfort. It's on my mind, but I have changed my diet recently. But I do want to emphasize, my gums are not in any way "bad", may be better than some here. It's just a little nagging thought.

[rkh3]

On my mind as well. Already had receeding gums, skipped the dentist for a few years and smoking. Caught it before it was time for the oral surgeon though. Been on snus for a month and have another dental appt tomorrow night. Curious to see what they say. If they say that they have receeded more it will be my last day on snus.

[Veganpunk]

The way I look at it is it's easier to replace teeth then lungs.

[tom502]

Some portions seem to be less comfortable than others too. Sometimes some seem so fat, and I have the knead them with my teeth. It seems no matter what one does, eat, drink, smoke, snuff, snus, it's always something.

i hate minis.

[skruf_mcgruff]

I would probably buy minis pretty often if they scaled the price even remotely fair.

Taboca strong minis, all day, every day. Throw in a few sterks or ES here and there also. :P

I could get with that program. No--there's other things I'd miss too much, but the Taboca SMs would be very close to the top of my list, if I had a list.
