The G.3 line represented a new era of snus. It was launched to introduce the “third generation” of General Snus. The first generation being the loose version, the second generation being the portion format, and the third generation being this new version. The third generation has slim portions, less drip, a softer fit, higher nicotine levels, and longer lasting flavors. The G.3 line as a whole has a wide variety of flavors and variants, but also includes the General flavor in an assortment of formats as well. Today, we’re talking about the Extra Strong version in the slim white portion format.

In the world of nicotine pouches, ZYN was the product that really kicked it all off. Now, there are hundreds upon hundreds of varieties. But, when looking at where it all began, ZYN is the one that really made the category popular. In the US, for example, it is the most popular line out there. Today we’re talking about ZYN Cool Mint Mini Dry. This is the Swedish version of this flavor and comes in the mini dry format. So, without further ado, let’s get better aquainted with this product and do a review!

The first time I tried KLINT Mint was in early 2021. At the time, there were a lot of new nicotine pouch brands bursting onto the market, and I was interested to see which would end up sticking around. Klint appears to have been one of the ones that stuck around, and became popular. Surprisingly, looking at sales numbers from 2021, Klint was one of the best selling nicotine pouch products on the market. Klint is a high quality one, reminding me a lot of the Velo/Lyft series in terms of overall appearance and quality. Today we’re checking out their mint flavor at the Level 1 nicotine strength. This one comes in stronger versions, but this is the lighter one in the KLINT family.

When it comes to Swedish Snus, Ettan is the grandfather, the originator, the one that started it all off. This year, in 2022, Ettan is celebrating the 200th anniversary, hence the neat can design. Originating in 1822 as Ljunglöf's No. 1, the brand has grown from loose snus to original portion and white portion. Today, we’re visiting the original portion version of Ettan. This snus is one of the most high quality, premium snus products on the market, and one of the standard-bearers in terms of traditional, tobacco flavored snus.

Ace is a line of nicotine pouches made by Ministry of Snus in Denmark. When this line originally launched, it was during the big nicotine pouch “boom” when every company was rushing to embrace this new, growing category. At the time, it was interesting to watch because you didn’t know which ones were going to be popular and which ones weren’t. But, Ace rose to the top and became one of the more popular lines out there, and is widely regarded as one of the highest quality ranges on the market today. This time we will have a look at their Ace X Guarana Chili Boost.

The Velo Nicotine Pouches line, formerly known as Lyft Nicotine Pouches, is arguably the highest quality standard-bearer in the world of nicotine pouches. When compared to others, they are arguably the most popular. With a wide variety of flavors, and strengths, the Velo line is appealing to everyone who enjoys the all-white category, and very approachable for those who like variety.

When you look at the nicotine pouch world, there are a lot of brands out there. A lot. But for me, I like to look at quality. When I look for a quality pouch, the brands that rise to the top are Velo, Loop, Ace, Zyn, Volt, and Skruf Super White, to name a few. This was one of the earliest products launched in the Skruf Super White brand, and still remains a popular one to this day. Skruf Super White Slim Fresh #2 is at the #2 strength, or regular strength. Compared to others out there, it’s nice to see one that isn’t up there in strength. And of course, this being in their “fresh” range means it’s going to have a taste of mint. Let’s check it out!

When people think of GN Tobacco, they often think of Oden’s Cold White Dry and Siberia Red. However, GN Tobacco does have a wide Odens range of normal, regular strength products with solid flavors! Oden’s Original is one that stands out to me. This one comes in both original portion, and lös, which we are talking about today. This is a traditional snus, for people who like the traditional, classic taste of bergamot and tobacco. The portion version is good, but today we’re talking about my favorite version, the loose variant!

When the Lundgren’s brand launched several years ago, it showed a lot of promise. It was a new brand when new brands weren’t common, and it offered high quality snus products at a decent price. Over the past several years, the brand has grown in number, and in popularity, to become one of the most popular snus brands. Lundgren’s Skåne is arguably their most popular product. It was one of the first, and now has several variants including White, Slim White, and White Stark. Today, we’re talking about the classic, perforated white portion version: Lundgren’s Skåne White.

Back in 2014, a company in Sweden launched Epok. Over the course of several years, Epok evolved into Lyft, which became one of the most popular brands of nicotine pouches in the world. Recent numbers out of Sweden show that last year Lyft was one of the most popular brands on the market, even when put up with sales numbers from the snus category. In this review, we will check out VELOs Velo Tropic Breeze.
