After being a Camel Frost user for about 3 weeks, I got my order of General Mint Mini. I realize this isn't the hardcore Swedish Snus as it is made specifically for the US, but its enough for me to classify it as such. While I much prefer Frost's spearmint over peppermint, I've found a love for this stuff.
Right from the start, the quality of the pouches were stunning. The tobacco was not squashed into one part of any of the pouches (or at least the ones I could see) like the Camel. The tobacco was soft to the touch and not nearly as rough. Then, I took the dive and slipped a pouch into my upper left lip with great anticipation. It slid so smoothly between my gums and my lip that I [mentally] shivered. The taste was noticeably more subtle than the Frost. I suffered a slight disappointment when I didn't feel the usual burn that I loved so much with my Camel portions. But then I relaxed and just let it sink in. I played a board game with my girlfriend (cute, I know) to pass some time. Eventually, after about 10 minutes I felt an unbelievable rush. This was something I had definitely not felt with the Camel, even during my first trial of the stuff. It felt amazing. I couldn't concentrate at all of the board game. I was lightheaded and could care less about the game as it continued to hit. Both me and my girlfriend (she did it with me...I'm lucky) were loving it. Camel did not compare to this stuff at all. And cigarettes couldn't remotely give me a hint of a high. I eventually just laid myself down because it became a bit overwhelming. I was a bit sick afterward, but it was well worth it.
Just my short little story about my first "real" snus use. I won't forget the feeling. Hopefully it reminds some of you of your first time using snus, especially those who have been doing it for a while. The sickening feeling afterwards has completely gone away (after the second pouch) and now I can even swallow the juice with no heartburn. Perfect!
