    Don't know If I tried the Catch White Licorice or ordered it and never got around to try it. However, with the difficulty of getting Mint other than a can here and there at way too much money, I've been hitting stuff that I've had around here forever. One of them is the Catch Lic. and I...

    Are there nicotine pouches that are not sold by traditional tobacco companies?

    Hi Flora, There are ALP's that I've found pretty tasty. I've been a snus user for over a decade but it's gotten harder and harder to get supplies other than the few approved by the FDA. ALP is a product developed when Tucker Carlson didn't like what was being offered by the tobacco...

    Isn't it a pain from where we came from? Aw, the good old days. I was very content to order a few hundred $$s wortrh of cans of Mint, maybe throwing in a couple others I wanted to try and being done for a year or so unless a great sale came up. I like the 77 you convinced me to try, can we...

    Well, I did a second order of ALP nic pouches, this time from ALPPOUCH.COM. I've managed to fin a balance between the snus I have left on hand (that I have more than I recognized) and the nic stuff. I ordered 25 cans at an average of $4.44, no shipping overf something like $70 but they...

    Quick update. That White Fox Double Mint was a total loser, glad I only ordered one can. No mint taste at all. On the other hand, the Tropical Fruit ALP I liked. It first reminded me of bubble gum although I don't know why as I don't think I've had any since elementary school. I wish I...

    So the ALP arrived in three days via UPS. It's obvious that Tucker designed them along the lines of PMI's Zyn. I just happened to have one portion left from the old can I had here. They are exactly the same length but narrower and more like the longs of yesteryear. Net weight is 10g as...

    Hitt, Nicobolt. They're in the US somewhere. The ALP is something Tucker Carlson is involved in. He got into a fight with PMI and ALP was born. Anyone fighting against PM is good for a shot.

    I decided to give Nicobolt a shot with nic pouches. Ordered three each of 3 different flavors of ARP- Mint and Wintergreen in 6 & 9 mg, and one of Tropical Fruit in 9. Then i included one can of White Fox Double Mint 12mg since that was the only strength offered. I can't say the shipping was...

    In assessing where I stand with snus without hitting my freezer, I found that somewhere along the way I bought a can of Zyn 6mg Spearment. They're just a little bigger than the General Mint Minis if I'm remembering what they were like. Zyn won't work for me at all.

    IIt sucks to be us. SM gets US approval of their products and PMI buys SM to shut it down. I'll never buy a PMI product.

    No doubt about it. PMI is just killing off SM and promoting product that doesn't have any association with tobacco except the nicotine. I have a few rolls of 77 Fresh Mint that Hitt had said wasn't bad. It isn't General and doesn't provide those minor alkoloids provided in snus (and...

    There are online sites for Nic pouches like Nicobolt, Nicokick and Northerner who used to sell snus. Why have they stopped? Is it the need to keep it refrigerated, at least according to the manufacturer. I know I've kept 100 cans in my LR for months and I really can't find much difference...

    It's become so disheartening. I thought I found a reasonable alternative with Royal Farms. The first time I stopped, they had Mint in stock and it was about $6.35. I stopped at a different store and it was in a drawer that was jammed and they couldn't get it opened. She was able to get a can...

    Have you found anything that competes with General Mint? I just found someone carrying it that was about a buck cheaper and a chain, Royal Farms. The first time I checked, it was in a drawer that she couldn't get fully opened, but I got a can of Wintergreen. The second one I stopped at hade...

    Everytime I open another can I look at how many I have left of the Mint and think of what it's goint to cost when I run out. After I posted this, I realized I have no idea when I put the squirrel on my profile. I'm getting long on this page.

    Darn, these last four pages are disheartening. I want someone to come up with an answer to the missing General mint off shore although I'm resigning myself to over $7 a can if I have to. Hitt, did you find a local store carrying it. I might approach the local gas station about if there is a...

    Hit, here you are in a time capsule. The one that's wet had just come out of the freezer. It's the one on the left in the second picture. It was definitely white, the color I was used to. The one on the right was from my latest order, definitely darker. The bottom wone is from the...

    Okay, today with the full scoop in PA. Cost- $7.26 plus tax for a total of $7.70 and the snus definitely doesn't look like white portions anymore. Here's all three- old, new and just bought in store. Sorry about the lighting but too cold and windy outside. Even when you do a search of...

    Yeah, definitely different. I also found that the second closest gas station that is supposed to carry General so I'm going out soon to check it out.
