Jakobssons Mint, Strong Portion

I've totally fallen in love with this snus. And as MJ26 wrote: If you make an 8 mg portion of this, It would probably be one of my main snuses! Please consider doing it. :D

Just saying but if this would be regular 8mg nic portion it would be my 1 one snus and also dip. It has great flavor and the snus but only if you're strong user. I don't care sterk portions if I use snus often.

Definitely the number one mint snus in my book. I order a roll every time I run out.

The nic hit is very nice, just like a Sterk snus should be. Flavor comes on strong but not overpowering, leaving your mouth feeling nice and minty. The snus also smells like fresh mint as well, with a hint of sweetness. With respect to General Mint, Jakobsson's Strong Mint seems a little less sweet, although it has a more pronounced mint flavor; Even so, the tobacco shines through with just the right intensity. This is definitely a premium snus product.

The pouches are nice and plump forming a pillow shape, as all Gotlands snus products are, with an extremely smooth portion material that never irritates the gums. As with all Gotlands products, the cans are extremely well made, sealing nice and tight with a captivating brand and can design.

My only gripe with the new Gotlands products (including Jak's Strong Mint) is the portion count, as there are only 20portions/can. This was extremely disappointing, especially considering every roll you purchase, you are losing 40 portions compared to other snus products that contain the normal 24portions/can. Regardless, I would recommend this to anyone interested in a mint flavored snus.

I must say I still like General Mint a little better than the Jakobbson's but it is getting closer quick. I put in a fresh portion and started cleaning the house for a birthday party and think I shaved about 30 minutes off the normal time. Nic kinda crept up on me and sped me up a bit I think ;) I noticed for me it tastes better if at room temp versus fridge or frozen but thee is still this artificial character in the background that I don't get with General...General just tastes more clean to me overall.

Jaks pisses all over General. Great mint flavor, tons of vitamin N, and no sickly sweet flavor. That goes for mint, and wintergreen.

I always ordered a roll of general mint in every order. After trying the Jak Mint, I don't much care for General anymore. This mint flavor is richer and more enjoyable. It's stronger and burns less but tastes much better. The Original portion means instant flavor. It's a wonderful morning snus.

I think this snus is totally awesome. Much better than Thunder Frosted in my opinion. However, the nicotine level is a little bit to much for regular use. It's fantastic a couple of portions per day on well selected occasions though. But the flavor is amazing! I don't normally care for sweet snus, but this is just perfect. And it's not that sweet either I think...

A regular strength portion with the same flavor would be a godsend!

My guess is this phenomenon is pretty common but I too have had a change of heart so to speak. My Northerner order is finally on the way (yeah!) but of the two cans I have, the General Mint White portion and regular General White portion, they were equal at first. Yet after going through a half a can of each the Mint is getting better and the regular is getting worse as far as preference

I've been using this about a week now. I finally got tryed this out. So I kinda like and don't like it. It has pretty fine taste. It has that minty cooling effect and so. It's one of the first sweet swedish snuses I've tested now. So I think it's pretty good for occasional use but I could not use it daily. It just burns too hard which I don't very much like at all. So I don't really know do I like it or not.

I bought a couple of "test" cans 2 orders ago with some offroad and thunder frosted. First couple seemed too sweet but by the end of the 2 cans it's all I wanted. Now it's all I use. Give it a try if you are a mint user, I doubt you will want anything but Jac mint.
