General Wintergreen, White Portion

This stuff smells like moth balls and not only does it smell like mothballs it tastes like crap. Never again !! This is the worst snus I've ever had. I just cannot even finish the can because I could not finish 1 portion. After 20mins I had enough. This is the first can for me that I'm going to bin. - Terrible, terrible stuff

had 2 portions of general wintergreen (yeah i know, go on and hate) rip open on me, luckily it was as i got them out of the tin so no damage here aside from 2 wasted portions.

Very cool! thanks a ton. gotta love this place, everyone's real helpful. And yes, rattlesnake, I'm working on the taste buds thing. It's only been 2 weeks and I already see that change as I pop in a regular General white portion. Les salt, more bergamot comes through. And I LOVE Earl Grey tea, so that's a plus.

The Stuff smells like colgate toothpaste, which I thought was odd. And they are very moist...kind of squishy as i fluffed it. I popped one in and got that mint burn, similar to the General mint, and a quick nic hit along with it. No real cooling sensation, which I love about the General mint. The wintergreen flavor is kind of mellower than I was expecting with the scent, and not at all sweet. Not too salty either, which is a plus for me since I am a bit new to swedish snus. All in all, Snus choice number 2 for the time being, right behind General mint. A good flavor to spice it up every once in a while."

Hang in there, eventually you will get some taste budds. eventually. Then You can start to enjoy some real Snus!!!!

I must say I AM intrigued by the Thunder Frosteds I hear so much about, but I don't really need that much nicotine in my portions; 8mg is more than enough for me. That, and the convenience of having General in local shops is a BIG plus. Hopefully some of the other companies will follow suit.
