General Mint White Portion - Expert Review

When it comes to mint products, there is one that truly stands out when compared to others on the market: General Mint (White Portion)! In fact, for many in the United States, this is their first taste of true, authentic Swedish Snus! General Mint originally launched in 2010, and was a game changer for the snus world. It brought a Swedish-quality mint snus to the US market. Now, years later, it has proven the test of time and remained a popular option for those looking to break into Swedish Snus, but also for those who are long-term users looking for a product with a fresh mint flavor.

When you open the can, you’ll notice this snus comes in a beautiful swirl pattern. This is known as the "Star Format”, and is something reserved for premium, Swedish Match white portion products! I suggest fluffing them when you take a portion out, and rolling it between your fingers to loosen the tobacco. It makes it feel better under the lip. The aroma of this one is a fresh, sweet aroma of peppermint. There is a cooling freshness you’ll feel from start to finish with this one, and you'll notice it once you put a portion under the lip. The white portion material is soft, semi-moist, and comfortable under the upper lip. In terms of the flavor profile, it's much like the aroma: peppermint. I think one reason this is such an approachable snus is because it is on the sweeter side. It’s not super in your face, and has a nice balance to it. The nicotine strength on this one is at the regular level, and feels to deliver a steady amount at that level. In terms of the longevity of flavor, I find this one kicks around for up to about an hour, on average!

Wrap-Up & Recommendation:

This is a mint-lovers snus. It’s high quality, and provides a great experience for those who want the cooling, refreshing taste of peppermint. Whether you’re new or experienced with snus, if you like the flavor of mint this is one you’ll want to check out. From start to finish, this is bar-none of the best mint products on the market today.

Snubie’s Opinion:

I’ve always had a soft spot for this one. General Mint is one I’ve enjoyed since the early days of starting snus, and it’s one I always recommend for people who are coming into the world of snus. It’s definitely one of the best ones on the market. There aren't a lot of regular strength mint products out there anymore, so this is one that I highly recommend to people who are looking for a fresh taste. It’s one I personally enjoy and would recommend.
