Was the mint wintergreen flavored? I can't stand wintergreen and wouldn't be surprised if that was the problem. I haven't tried any Marlboro snus.
It may have been Wintergreen flavor, but I love that flavor. In fact I am vaping a DIY Wintergreen juice right now. That wouldn't explain the lozenges though. Those were most definitely not wintergreen or mint of any kind. I mostly used the Cherry flavor lozenges, but sometimes the Regular as well (if they were out of Cherry at the store). Anyway, regardless of the root cause, I cannot recommend those products for long term use due to my personal experiences. For short term (like a long airline flight, or maybe a week in a hotel, when I can't vape) I might even consider using them again. I mean I did stop smoking while using them. I just couldn't keep using them.
