General Wintergreen question

[markja]

Does the General Wintergreen portions still bust open? Was thinking about ordering a roll during the free shipping at lilbrowns.

[angrylollipop]

I have a tin with a june 2011 exp. that does... So i'm guessing yes....

[jdman321]

Not the ones I have.

It is the tobacco trying to shake off that wintergreen flavoring.

Has anyone else noticed this sucker gives you INCREDIBLE lip burn. I mean tear-jerkingly bad?

On a side-note, BuySnus is shipping this stuff to the UK too, I can't get enough of it. It says 'only for sale in the United States' on the bottom of the cans but I guess they've made an exception for us limeys.

Haha what can I say? I'm a delicate flower. In all seriousness though this stuff is top shelf and I too really love the burn, it just caught me off guard as I've been snusing for years and forgot what the burn felt like! I picked up a roll of this and a roll of the mint without trying it first - such is my faith in General. I think I do prefer the mint, but it's a close contest. I haven't had the issue with the pouches opening either - but I did have a roll of General White in my last order where this happened on like 1/4 of the pouches in a typical tin.

On another side note, threw in a roll of LS White with this order too as I haven't had it in a while. Strangely enough about 3 cans in the roll have the lid so tightly affixed I've been passing it around the office as a challenge to anyone who can open it. Anyone else found this?

I always have General Wintergreen and Mint on hand. Love the stuff! I also enjoy the occasional burn! Haven't had any problems with them busting open. Enjoy!

I know when I was dipping, Wintergreen would always burn, and mint never did. That was after 10 years of dipping...wintergreen seems to just be a more aggressive flavor.

Offroad Eucalyptus did it to me too. I use Thunder WG and Long+ so it sure as hell wasn't the nic. The menthol-like medicinal herb flavor burned a bit when I tried them.

On topic: I think the busting portions thing only happens on a personal level. Some people complain they bust all the time and others, like myself, have never had one bust open.

You don't have to buy General Wintergreen. There are other varieties of General on sale at Lil' Brown.

They really only bust open if you screw with them too much. even if they do, just fold it in half length wise and shove it up there. Like a portion/los hybrid.
