Usage Experience

The 8mg/g nicotine content delivers a consistent experience. Users report the wintergreen flavor remains noticeable without overpowering the tobacco base. The white portion material reduces drip significantly compared to regular portions. Some users recommend gently softening the pouches before use to prevent splitting.

Ingredients

The snus contains water, tobacco, humectant (E1520), salt, pH adjuster (E500), and natural flavors including smoke flavor. The wintergreen taste comes from natural flavorings rather than artificial additives.

Final Assessment

General Snus Wintergreen offers a balanced alternative for those seeking a mint-flavored snus with traditional tobacco character. The white portion format provides cleaner usage with extended flavor release. While the wintergreen taste may not appeal to all users, it delivers a authentic Swedish snus experience with moderate nicotine strength.
