    Ah, wicked good! Thank you. I will be sure to try that too. I like General in general as well. <--teehee

    As for my Thunder Mini's I do have, they are mint like flavored. (The can is all the way down stairs and I am exhausted after a hell on earth work day to go down and look, lol) Good, non the less when lookin' for the minty switch up.

    I am enjoying all the input guys. You are all so good to me. Thank you!!!

    Kookie, do you want to get rid of some skruf cranberry? I tried to put some on an order yesterday to try and it made me take it out of my cart. I think they are sold out at getsnus. I like the OR cranberry and wanted to try it. If not that's ok. I just thought I would ask.

    general Onyx is fantastic! I find it to be just delicious. But it is fairly strong bergamot. Nick and Johnny also is quite good (I got the white), but it too has bergamot. The whole bergamot thing is very interesting to me, because I do not like earl grey tea, the flavor of which is bergamot. But I really like it in snus.

    Roda Lacket is quite good too, and mostly tobacco with a bit of raisin and dried fruit. I saw a review on it, however, that said it had very little salt in it, but I found it to be about as salty as most...not that that is a bad thing to me, I kinda like it, but it was not what I expected.

    onyx is my favorite currently. It is clearly a cut above most other snus I've tried.
    Deciding not to smoke is one thing. Forgetting to smoke is a different animal altogether.

    I like the Roda when I'm in the mood for changing it up a bit. For straight tobacco flavor, I usually go with Ettan or Grovsnus OP. Then again, I have a stockpile of General Wintergreen so my tastes could be suspect.

    Hey, you said it. I only thought it .
    I'll check in later when I find out where I am, provided I'm still where I left myself :confused:.

    I have a partial can of that in my desk drawer that has been there for about six months. I can't bring myself to throw it away and can't make myself use it. What to do?

    Okay, I'll jump in here and get your back ExPat. They seem to be grouping up on you now. I opened up a can of Wintergreen right after reading Hit's post. I had the Wintergreen in a sample some months ago and liked it enough to get seven in my last (okay, latest, last sounds like I'm at some finality point) order.

    It is different than a lot of other flavors and for the pure baccy type folks, I'm sure that the taste may be a bit Wintergreeny. I personally like it. Not that I'd include one in my regular rotation, but I'll probably throw it into my group can and add a little wintergreenery to my other portions.

    The thing I love about snus is that it's not like smoking. You develop your taste to a particular brand and consistently buy that brand. I love having options when I open that traveling can. Of course, I've hardly ever complained about a meal and I know a lot of people that have to have their food, just so.

    Now I'm curious how Wintergreen will infiltrate my Onyx. Stay tuned for a follow up......

    I would guess that the wintergreen flavor will bleed onto the other portions. I mixed some general mint and OR coffee vanilla in a can and the mint flavor went into the CV. It was good though.

    That's exactly what happens. The predominant flavor remains, but you pick up accents of whatever else is in the can. I've found the general mini mints seem go hold their flavor longer than most snus and since I like them, it's nice catching a bit of the flavor in other varieties. I'm not sure if I'd put too many wintergreen's in my can at any one time, but a piece or two should work out fine....... I think.

    I mixed a can of Wintergreen with Mint... Lets just say that experiment didn't end well. I made it through the can, but wow, it just wasn't pleasant at all. Now, mixing one or the other with regular portions, that's a different story.

    I'll be interested to hear how the mix with Onyx goes.
