Catch Pure Mint, Medium Portion

I don't care for it, which doesn't surprise me as its mint and sweet. I threw a can in my last order just to try it, figured that based on the reviews it wouldn't be overly sweet. It wasn't sickly sweet like general mini mint and regular mint, but still waaay to sweet for my taste, the peppermint covers up most of the tobacco flavor and the sweetness just ruins the rest. If it was not sweet I may have liked it. I would love to get a mint snus that is not sweet at all.

I did like the can though, same as general smooth, but with cooler colors.

Anyway, glad I tried it, but would not buy it again, the can I have will probably take me several months to finish.

The less sweet part is the best - it reminds me of mint iced tea (unsweetened - like Bigelow "Plantation Mint"). A new favorite minty snus.

I am not getting any drip from this one either... Maybe I am doing something wrong (right)?

Maybe the different portion shape seals better for me. I get all sorts of drip from normal General mint after about 30 mins...

I thought this might be my go to snus but I found it to drip too much for a white portion and the taste was inconsistent. I also found the the portions to get nasty while drinking beverages. Get it moist and it's over, bitter city. I prefer General Mint over Catch Pure Mint but Northerner Wintergreen is now my go to snus.

The flavor is good. The peppermint seems to drown out the tobacco taste. The can is really cool and made of metal.
Not a bad snus in the least, I have to give it good marks but it won't be a favorite of mine. Perhaps i just prefer the non mint flavored tobaccos.

Love it, love it, love it, finally a mint snus that doesn't taste like sugarless gum like the General ones and doesn't taste like toothpaste like Frosted.

Now that's a short but sweet review. Lol

Sounds good to me and I've finally ordered some. General Mint and Wintergreen are some of the only snuses I've thrown out in disgust due to the horrible NutraSweet (aspartame) taste.

Only one other comment about the can IMO, Although very cool and like it more than any other, The lid does not close tight and you can pop it open without tswisting it, if you hold the can in on hand and move the lid up and down with the other there is quit a bit of wiggle room.... I wish the can had a more tight twist so it would be sealed tighter, But It's all good
