Using General Mint

[snustocope]

I have been using General mint.
I don't really get the nicotine 'good feelings' from just one pouch.
I am new to Snusing as I am trying not to use dip.
Is it typical to use more than one pouch?
I am also a secret snuser....hiding it from wife, family, etc.
Anybody have any advice?
Thanks!

Try Jakobssons mint and Thunder Frosted. Keep in mind, like all addictive drugs, after awhile you use to keep from feeling bad, not to feel good. You build up a tolerance, and it just isn't like it used to be. I'd be careful about building too big a tolerance. The higher you go, the farther you fall when you remove the addictive substance.

I quit using starks as you had once advised. I have am now sampling my first can in General mini mint.
I use about 10 regular portions daily. I don't find I lose much satisfaction. Also I don't seem to have
built up a significant tolerance, yet. -)

My first snus experience other than the Marlboro crap was General Mint. I had already tapered down my pack a day cig habit to 3 or 4 a day so my nic tolorance had probably dropped quite a bit. I remember getting a bit of a buzz off the regular sized portions and the mini's took care of any nicotine cravings (but no "buzz").

As for hiding the snus use from the wife, I guess that would depend on why you are snusing. My primary reason was to give up the cigs. My wife is not a big fan of my snus use, but once I informed her of the health benefits vs. smoking and the money I was saving vs a pack a day habit it was an easy sell. She understands it keeps me sane without the health risks and smelling like an ashtray.

If you need something with a bit more punch the Thunder or Jak's would definitely do the trick.

I too am new to snusing and General mint is one that I can get local.
For me the satisfaction level is not quite as good as the General original but then again I never really smoked menthol, just Parliament and Luckys.
Snus really is helping me a lot so far, this only my second day and only a few smokes since then.
I can't wait till I can try some of the other snus that is available.

Jakobsson's Mint is stronger

last just as long as General

and it's not as sweet ...


I like'em both though

Thunder Frosted is the best.

As advised, do not overuse ES portions. I used ONLY Thunder Frosted for 3 years. I had to quit cold turkey when I ran out overseas and I was miserable. I felt literally ill when I went from 1 can of Thunder Frosted (daily) to nothing. Do not take it lightly, it will bite you in the ass if you overuse ES portions and try to cut down. I've had to replace a large amount of my orders with regular portion snus to help avoid destroying myself with the ES portions. ES portions will also make it nearly impossible to enjoy regular portions if you only use ES. You will not like the switch from high nicotine to low nicotine.

Grab a few cans in your next order and give it a try. I still order Thunder Frosted (always will), but use it for a first thing in the morning snus, or when the strong cravings come on.

Cheers!
