In this review, we're going to be talking about Velo Mint, formerly known as Lyft Mint. You'll notice in this photo that the can says Lyft Mint, but over the past year, BAT has been gradually shifting the Lyft brand over to Velo with a rebranding.

For centuries, humans have enjoyed nicotine by chewing, dipping, snuffing, snusing, and smoking tobacco leaves. All these consumption methods provide a pleasurable experience, but they can also cause undesirable side effects, such as stained teeth, bad breath, and needing to spit. Thanks to modern innovations in the nicotine industry, there are now products that enable consumers to enjoy nicotine without tobacco, one of the most popular being nicotine pouches. These small, white bags filled with nicotine, plant fiber, and delicious flavors have taken the industry by storm. But when exactly did they emerge, and why? Keep reading to find out the answers to these questions and more in this article about the history of nicotine pouches.

Marlboro-manufacturer Philip Morris International has offered $16 billion to take over Stockholm-based Swedish Match, the maker of some of our bestselling brands, including ZYN nicotine pouches and General snus. The company seeks to acquire Swedish Match to expand its portfolio beyond cigarettes to meet the rapidly increasing demand for smokeless alternatives and achieve its goal of delivering a smoke-free future.

If you are a snus user, you will know that you can choose from many different formats, brands, strengths, and, most notably, hundreds of snus flavors, which is the focus of this article. If you are undecided on which flavor to choose or are curious about which ones users around the globe love the most, reading on may be helpful to you. We will outline the different flavor profiles and tasting notes of the biggest brands on the market and explore the most popular snus flavors, from tobacco-centric to fruity and even those flavored with whisky!

Nicotine pouches are known for their long shelf life and unfussy storage requirements. But, like all consumable goods, these products will expire. Many customers often ask what happens to a nicotine pouch that has surpassed its use-by date, including whether they turn bad and if they are still safe to use. So, this article will explain what happens to expired nicotine pouches, whether you can consume them, how to keep them fresher for longer, and more. To learn more, continue reading.

When I first started using snus back in the day, the strongest snus you could get was the “Extra Stark” level, which was usually 16-17mg/g or so. This stayed the same for many years, until GN Tobacco launched Oden’s Extreme in 2011. That would raise the ceiling to 22mg/g as the strongest nicotine level on the market. However, GN Tobacco wasn’t satisfied, and felt like they needle to move the needle a little bit further, which would happen in 2015 with the launch of Siberia. Siberia is one of the strongest, and most popular products on the market today, and their “Red” variant is the flagship of the Siberia family, which has now grown to include non-mint products like Siberia Black, which has a tobacco flavor profile. Today we will look at a slim version of the Red variant - Siberia -80 Degrees Slim White Dry.

In 2019, GN Tobacco launched the White Fox nicotine pouches line. Over the past several years, every manufacturer has been getting into this new tobacco-free, all white category, but it’s been interesting to see which ones consumers have gravitated towards, and which ones have become more popular. White Fox is one that has grown in popularity, and has become a fan favorite amongst consumers. This is an interesting one, because it is one of very, very few nicotine pouches that comes in the full size format and not the slim format. It makes this one stand apart from others.

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.

The Lyft nicotine pouches line launched back in 2018, and grew to become the most popular, well known line of nicotine pouches on the market. Over the past year or so, BAT has been transitioning Lyft to Velo, so if you see “Velo”, just know that’s the same product as Lyft. Nothing has changed about the product quality, it has simply been rebranded. Lyft Freeze (now Velo Freeze) launched back in 2019, and is one of the stronger products in the Lyft/Velo family. It is incredibly popular due to it’s fresh flavor, and high nicotine strength.
