    Sweet. Just pulled the trigger on a 60 can order of the Oden's Double Mint Extreme White Dry. Also tossed a can of General Brooklyn in there. I'm curious about that one.

    After using the Jakobssons, My General Mint is too weak. :D
    If you have general mint you don’t want let me know.

    Didn't say I didn't like it. I just go through more when I do carry it.

    I get it but thought I’d ask. I’m sure going to miss the jakobsson when I run out. The Kapten strong is similar in strength but not taste. I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts on the odens.

    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 better price if I buy quantity. I'm hoping someone comes up with a white portion that's similar as they seem to hold up better over time.

    Initially I read that Kapten was supposed to be similar so panic bought several rolls. It’s really not like general. I later read that moose major mint is closer to general. I have a couple rolls on the way if they ever make it out of customs. Been in customs for 5 days so far.

    @hittman Which 77 nicotine pouches have you tried, and your thoughts on them? Only one I tried is the raspberry, and I liked it, but was thinking about the strawberry, and wondering also about the mint ones. Just thinking of ordering a couple of rolls when I place another order down the road.

    The strawberry is good. I like the fresh mint, forest fruit, black currant, cola and vanilla, and salted caramel. There are several that I haven’t tried.

    My major mint order has finally been released from customs. It says delivery is tomorrow but I don’t believe it. We had a snowstorm so I’m sure things will be delayed.
    They do sound like they might be a General Mint replacement "sweet taste of mint and tobacco".

    I got home and tried one of the major mint. It’s pretty good and would be a good replacement for general. I went straight to the snusme to place a stocking order and now they won’t ship to the U.S. This is so frustrating! If anyone finds a site that will ship it then please let me know.

    This is so frustrating!

    **sigh** I'm beginning to think that I should have doubled that order I made last week. According to the Swedish tracking, my order has left Sweden. Tried to get into USPS' website and guess what's not working right now.

    I did some digging and it appears Homeland Security has been upping their game regarding tobacco shipments coming from outside the country. Orders are making it into the country and then languishing in purgatory based on HHS holds. Hopefully current shipments (including mine!) will make it through, but it seems due to the crackdown, foreign makers are suspending shipments until this crap is straightened out.

    So blame the DHS and the FDA. Actually, blame Congress for passing The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.
