    Thinking about switching to Mini's

    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.

                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.

                  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.

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

                      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 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.
