In terms of nicotine pouches available on the market today, there are a few brands that I consider to receive top marks: Velo, Zyn, Loop, Skruf Superwhite, and this one, Ace. Ace is a product made by Ministry of Snus, a relatively new company out of Denmark. They make Rite Snus, but also now Ace Superwhite. The Ace line launched in 2019 and has quickly become one of the most popular brands out there. It is widely recognized for it’s high quality products! Today, we’re checking out one of the new additions to the series, Ace X Cosmic Cool Mint. This one launched in 2021, and is unique from others on the market because it has a full sized, non-slim pouch!

GN Tobacco, the company behind Oden’s Snus and Siberia, joined the growing all white nicotine pouch category in 2019 when they released White Fox. At the time, there was a big revolution in nicotine pouches with a lot of new products launching. It was hard to assume what would be popular at the time, because every company was finding their way into this new and growing category. However, White Fox is one that rose to the top and became a fan favorite. This is a relatively newer one in the series, with a pretty intriguing flavor: Peppered Mint!

Velo, without a doubt, has top marks when it comes to nicotine pouches. There’s a lot of brands out there, but Velo has been one of the better ones available. This brand was formerly known as Lyft, but a few years ago BAT began rebranding Lyft worldwide (with a few exceptions in Sweden) into Velo. And now, new flavors are being added to the Velo line included this one: Royal Tea. This one brings an intriguing flavor to nicotine pouches, as the bergamot/tea flavor is a common flavor in Swedish Snus!

Thunder Nicotine Pouches are a new line of nicotine pouches made by Swedish Match Denmark A/S. If “Thunder” and “Denmark” are ringing some bells, that’s because Thunder used to be a brand of snus made by V2 Tobacco in Denmark. Now, the Thunder Snus has all but been relegated to the snus dustbin of history, but the brand has survived in a new line of nicotine pouches! There are six new variants in the new Thunder Nicotine Pouches line: Deep Freeze, Dark Frost, Cool Mint, Frosted, Apple Mint, and Citrus. In this review we’ll be talking about Thunder Deep Freeze!

Recently, it was revealed that BAT would be rebranding the Lyft line to Velo. However, in a surprising twist, a new lot of Lyft products recently released in Sweden: Barista Twist, Just Bloom, and Cool Air. These appear to be designed as a more premium line of nicotine pouches, as the top of the can denotes their origin: “Nicotine Pouches Crafted in Sweden”. This one, Barista Twist, has an intriguing coffee flavor that translates really well in the tobacco-free nicotine pouch format!

Dope is a new line of nicotine pouches made by Consumer Brands International. They make this brand, and another brand called Snatch. Dope is a tobacco-free product that consists of nicotine and uses cellulose in the place of tobacco. In this review we’ll check out Lime Smash, a product with a lime flavor, and a high nicotine content. How strong? Well, they call it “Crazy Strong”. Let’s find out more!

Recently, BAT announced that they would be rebranding the Lyft nicotine pouches line to Velo. However, in a recent surprise, a series of new Lyft products recently released in Sweden: Barista Twist, Just Bloom, and Cool Air. These seem to be designed as a more premium line of nicotine pouches, and the top of the can denotes their origin: “Nicotine Pouches Crafted in Sweden”. Today we’ll be talking about Cool Air, the mint flavored variant in the lineup.

There’s a new member in the Velo family, this one with a bright, summery taste! Meet Velo Elderflower Spritz, a new nicotine pouch product from BAT. I’m a big elderflower enthusiast, going back to my earliest days of reviewing snus, so when I first heard about this one, I couldn't wait to give it a try. I use more snus than nicotine pouches, but once I got this, I found myself carrying a can in my pocket everywhere I went. Yes, it’s that good. But I don’t want to spoil the review, so let’s talk product specifics before I go into that.

Within the past year, it was announced that BAT would be rebranding the Lyft nicotine pouches line to Velo. But recently, in a surprising twist, a handful of new Lyft products recently released in Sweden: Barista Twist, Just Bloom, and Cool Air. These seem to be designed as a more premium line of nicotine pouches, and the top of the can denotes their origin: “Nicotine Pouches Crafted in Sweden”. In this review we’ll be talking about Just Bloom, a floral flavored product.

It’s been since the summer of 2021 that Swedish Match launched Volt, a new line of nicotine pouches. Recently, they’ve launched something entirely new: Volt Pearls.
