    What's under your lip/in your nose right now? - Part 2

    This is ridiculous, I'm growing more dislike for governments by the day. I came over to comment on the General Mint and saw I fell behind by three pages. I opened a roll of my Mint and it was strange, instead of looking like a white portion snus it was darker. It even felt wetter. The taste...

    Yeah Hitt, let us know what you think of the Kapten. I might take a shot if you like it. I didn't get past the few places that indicate they carry General yet. For some reason I think it might be somewhere in the $6 to $7 range.

    Just came out of hibernation, belated Merry and Happy and I wish it was Memorial Day. It looks like Swedish Snus from Sweden is dead other than buying it locally. The last time I looked it was close to $5 in PA and that was a number of years ago. I got word that SnusCentral wasn't shipping...

    Well Roy, I thought I had left the house this morning and thought I forgot my snus can so I stopped at the convenience store looking for the Spearment Slim but they only had the 6mg Spearment so I picked it up. It turns up I didn't need it and over $6 is ridiculous for what you get compared to...

    Welcome Roy! Sounds like that's worth a shot. I'm pretty much of a snuser as it was the only thing that actually got me off cigarettes. I believe the minor alkaloids in tobacco controlled some minor depression I had in my physiology. However, I have enjoyed some nic pouches from time to...

    I hear you on "too much". I've been doing those Amazon reviews now for over two years. I don't try to be an expert, just my honest opinion on the products I choose to review. Last year I was out of control, over $20k of product. I'm at about half of that this year. I want to order enough...

    I can't believe it's been a month since the horrid news hit about General Mint. Somebody wants us to pay US prices. It almost sounds like buying pharma pills from Canada. Anyway. I like the 77 but, as you say, they are not snus. I don't think nic pouches will ever work for those that need...

    And then there's this- https://www.snusexpress.com/us/en/brands/general/general-mint-24-g-5-p-8817 At $3.22 US it sounds pretty good. Nope, no longer sold in Canada either. Sucks

    12:53 delivery, no signature and left it down in the shed, halfway up my driveway. Immediately broke into the box and tried the 77 fresh mint. I like the shape and the taste. Will I be able to replace the G Mint with it, we'll see. I've always believed that the other alkaloids in tobacco...

    I checked mine yesterday around 4PM here and it left Germany about 9PM which was apparently around noon here. I just checked mine because the only notification I ever got from SNUS24 was when I inquired about my order and threatened to cancel the payment after they didn't respond to my first...

    I had to write to Snus24 after I placed my order and received to confirmation. Went back in and I didn't have an account set up although I thought I did but remembered that after I said save my info, they never asked me to set up a password. I checked my credit card and the transaction was...

    Well, this is a lot of excitement for the day after the 4th of July and I thought this page was dying the last time I checked in. i immediately went to Snus24 and ordered 90 cans of the Mint and, on Hitts posts, 10 +2 of the 77 to check it out. I got the 10% discount for 1st time buyer so I...

    Yeah, I noticed, of course the thread is, "Olderthandirt" being originally started December 16th, about 14 1/2 years ago and the inspiration that got me off a two and a half pack a day habit that surely would have me in ashes by now. I guess many who were here back then are no longer with us...

    I was actually not sure if I liked it at first, but five cans in, it has grown on me. As far as dryness, I couldn't speak to that as the newest snus I've had recently was over two years old before this order.

    LOL, no, I didn't. Maybe that's why it was more difficult to open.

    Hitt, did you get your order and did you have Mint on it? I opened a can before i moved it to the freezer and it seems to have a different taste. Either that or the cold I've developed makes it taste different. Note- I see you did receive, I guess I hadn't updated before I posted.
