    Threw out two cans of snus

    They'd been sitting in my fridge for a couple of weeks now and I'd have to force myself to take a portion now and then in the hope that they'd grow on me but bleeech. It's rare that I throw away snus and don't keep it around in case of emergency but General Mint and General Wintergreen are simply horrible.

    I kinda like General Mint for a 'change-up' or go to sleep with a snus'in.

    Wintergreen, I can completely understand.

      I like the Mint. I have one at night when I'm laying on the couch.

      The Wintergreen, I'm not a fan of.

        I like mint as well.
        Man. Don't ever throw away a good can of snus. I can promise that one of us will like it. I always ask for a trade if I have something I really don't like. These days, that's getting more and more rare.

          I've thrown away as many partial camel snus cans as I've opened swedish snus cans... but I'm new to swedish snus

            You are not alone I started snus about a month ago, and the local smokeshop carries General. I have a can of mint that is dying a slow death in my fridge too, as I just cant seem to tolerate the salty sweetness of it. Oddly I do like minty candy, but for some reason my brain cant grasp the concept of minty tobacco. The Camel frost was just disgustingly sweet to me. I guess I will stick with more traditional flavors.

              The only snus I've thrown out is Oomph (9 cans of the buggers) and Grovsnus black (3 cans). Couldn't stand the stuff.

                I somewhat like the flavor of Thunder Frosted as under the mint I can still taste the tobacco but it's the artificial sweeteners in the General mint and wintergreen that makes me nauseous. I love General by the way, the original with bergamot but the mint has to go.

                  I'm all for trading unopened cans but not once the seal has been breached.

                    I think the mint is great for the American market, or for those new to snus. If you've been using snus a while it seems like it may be a bit sweet, because it isn't really marketed or made for the snuser, it's made for the snubie. Ones like Thunder Frosted/Offroad Frosted which have that bold, spearmint flavor - I think they're much more enjoyable if you use other snuses, especially more traditional flavors. It's why the "flavored" option in my rotation is a V2 product. I can't do the General one too much because it seems much to sweet.

                      I love General Mint. I will buy a can or two locally whenever I go to Mobile. Wintergreen was ok, but now that Jaks. Wintergreen is out, I'll probably never buy another General Wintergreen. (Still gotta go through all the mystery cans, lol)

                        General mint is one of my faves being an ex menthol smoker but to each his own.. I have one general wintergreen in the freezer I'll only use in emergency if I'm out

                          It's the artificial sweeteners that make the Generals suck. Just like I can't stand it in diet soda, can't handle it in snus

                            General Mint is great for a sweet snus General wintergreen as of recent I'm in a love hate relationship with at the moment used to have a nice burn and a great flavor now it seems flat maybe after 100 plus cans of it. I'm numb to it. Oomph I can not stomach anymore the lemon licorice 6 mg was a main staple for over a year for me now the taste of it makes my stomach cramp up and turn. Finished all my cans of it but no plans to ever order it again.

                              I love wintergreen, but not the General, it's too sweet. Jaks is just as sweet as General, they actually taste exactly the same to me. I love the Thuder WG, tastes great but now I've moved down of the extra sterks. I was hoping the Offroad version was the same as Thunder but just not as strong, but it's not.

                              We need a decent regular strength wintergreen!
