Anyone heard of and/or used "Nicotine Pouches"
Nicotine Pouches - Tobacco Derived Nicotine Products - Northerner
Just looking around at what is available and ran across it on the above website.
Found a review here Snubie.com: ON! Nicotine Pouches (Level 1 & Level 3) - Review. 17 August 2015.
And a more current Video Review


Used the locator on Generals site and it said it was sold at a Shell gas station 6 miles from my home. I went there today, not a Shell anymore, it's a Chevron now, asked the guy at the counter, all they carry is Camel snus. Next closest listing is over 50 miles away.

I've never heard of those before but never order from Northerner any more since they cut their inventory to almost nothing. You could try the camel. It's not terrible.

They look interesting, is why I asked. You can order them direct from ON! for $5.99 (8mg pouches) and orders over $25 are free shipping (5 cans is $29.95). Was just hoping for a little feedback from some that might be using them. Only lasting 15 to 20 minutes does not sound good compared to Snus. For the cost I might give it a try, going to do some more research first as there are several different brands out there.

Well decided to try the Nicotine Pouches, WTH it is only money
The DW thought she might be interested, so that is a win if it helps her quit the cigs. (she is not interested in vaping)
Ordered 6 tins, to give them a try (everything but wintergreen)

When I signed up to the news letter it showed why I paid sales tax, they are in Florida.

I'll be curious to hear what you think.

@Burnie , I use to use Northerner back when they had a US warehouse. But they cut back considerably on the snus brands they carry and with General becoming available locally it wasn't worth the extra cost. But I see they still carry General, so you could always order from them if you can't find any closer than 50 miles. Another suggestion is to also check tobacco shops. I've found that most carry General but it doesn't always show it on the locator. I'm not sure how much that thing is updated anyway. Always best to call before making the trip.

If you know where BFE is, That's where I live. We are in the center of the state, and there just is not a whole lot here, lots of locations listed on either coast,

I am going Fishing this weekend in Everglades City (3 hours south of here), and Generals locator shows the Circle K across the street from the Condo we are renting carries it. I'll see when I get down there if they really do.

 

[hittman]

There's a chain of convenience stores here call QuikTrip that has a location on every other corner that carries general. However, it seems like they are sold out of mint most of the time so I prefer to order in bulk online.

 

[hittman]

I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving. We are getting family pictures taken today. No Black Friday shopping for me.

Well that was a bust They are closed due to lots of damage from hurricane Irma There are a lot of places recovered down there, but still a long way to go for full recovery from the hurricane damage. At least the fishing was good

 

[hittman]

That's too bad. I'm. Not feeling like I'm ready to go back to work tomorrow. I'll be off the week of Xmas so at least I've got something to look forward to.

 

[Burnie]

My truck is still in the shop, they didn't get it fixed over the weekend, so I guess I'll be doing paperwork all day tomorrow.

 

[hittman]

You had a rough weekend.

 

[Burnie]

Got a can of Camel Snus (mellow) and tried it over the weekend. Cost a lot more than I thought, $6.48 +tax and only 15 in the can. Flavor was not bad, but it is really sweet to me. Really did not feel any kind of nic buzz, but I was not reaching for a vape while it was in my lip.

 

[hittman]

The camel is sweet compared to Swedish snus.

[Burnie]

Well I decided that since I can't get Swedish Snus local I might as well order some. I went to Snus Central and put together a large sample pack to try and see what I will like. There are so many choices it is hard deciding what to order. Here is what I ordered this morning, 17 cans.

Edit: That was FAST, 20 minutes after I placed the order I got a tracking number email.

Can't say much about your selection since the Generals are the only ones I'm familiar with and I like them other than the minis that I haven't tried. It was good to stick with white if it takes any time to go through your supply. I keep them in the freezer and they last years. The other type seem to dry out in storage and lose their flavor. Good luck with them.

I thought of that. I have a vacuum sealer and planned to vacuum them one can to a bag, then put them in the freezer. I have found with food items that it allows you to keep them 10 times (or more) longer than if not vacuum sealed. A good investment if you don't have one.
