That’s another one I never tried.
It's different, I don't really love it like Americana or Jakobssons Melon, but it was OK. Don't remember how much I ordered, but this is the last can. I remember the Snubie video where he had a case of it, many many rolls. It sounded interesting, so I ordered some. At 8 years old it still smelled good. Looking forward to Sunday to try it again for the last time as it is discontinued. I make up my daily cans (tri-cans) with my rotation in advance, 5 cans 2 days each, my son printed them for me.

    Hmmmmm. Anyone try this one yet?


    It's from Swedish Match, and it's a mint flavor. I may toss a can in with my next order.

    I haven’t tried that one but have tried a couple of the G series and didn’t love them.

    I’ve already started a reorder list of nic pouches. Definitely going to get more of a few of the velo plus and maybe 2-3 types of the grizzly pouches. I’m good for now but I’m keeping a list so I can remember which ones I like best.

    I have one of those lists on the ones I tried, but the Velo+, Helwit, and 77 are the only ones I have liked so far. I guess I need to try some of the Grizzly ones on my next order, which ones do you like?

    I did a silly thing the other morning and left the house without a can in my pocket. Got to work, went to fish the can out before getting inside the building and realized my boo-boo. Jumped back into the car and headed to the closest QT for a can of General. Guess what they DON'T carry at that location? See some cans of Grizzly on the display and ask what they have for flavors. Seems Wintergreen was the only one, then they guy says OH, here's a Mint. Gimme two sez I. Get back to work, open the first can and see that it's snuff. Are you kidding me? I asked specifically for nicotine pouches and the idiot gives me snuff. Screw it. Made it through the day with it (it was awful), and made a note to self to please do a pocket check before leaving the house.

    I’m off on vacation until the 29th so went to renew the registration on my car and decided to stop by Quiktrip on the way home. I scored a five pack of general mint. I asked if they had any grizzly orange and backcountry and the lady looked at me like I was crazy. Evidently they only carry the four basic flavors and none of the special ones I got from northerner. I guess if I want more then I’ll have to do an online order.

    So was it loose tobacco? Not sure I could do that. I keep 8-10 cans of snus and nic pouches in my desk at work and two ice tool cans on my desk beside my computer.

    It was pouches, but man, it's nasty! Thankfully swallowing the juice wasn't too bad, but the flavor was YUCK!

    Wish I could stash cans like that. However, this is in a school. Guess what we ain't supposed to be doing?

    My general manager and operations manager both use zyn openly. I don’t know how they stand them. I tried one the operations manager offered me and it didn’t taste like much of anything. I’m a flavor junkie for sure. The longer the flavor lasts, the longer I keep a pouch in.

    Heh.. One of the perks of working for a school district. I have the next two weeks off. Back to work on the 5th for refresher training and range competition, and kiddos are back on the 6th.

    My immediate supervisor uses Grizzly. I gave him one of my Odens the other day and he couldn't handle it.

    Haven't done my Oden's order yet, so whipped over to QT to snag some General. 49 bucks for 5 cans. **sigh**
    Yikes, that’s high. I got five cans for around $36 last time. By the way, Merry Christmas!

    Texas has a "sin tax" on various items. For tobacco and "snuff" products, it's $1.22 per ounce. You can tell which "items" our fine legislators use. For cigars, it's only one to fifteen cents per 10 cigars. 20 cents per gallon of wine or beer, however liquor comes in at 2.40 per gallon.

    That’s just not right! So they smoke cigars and drink beer.
