When it comes to nicotine pouches, Zyn is one of the flagship lines. Zyn comes in a variety of formats and locations. It’s popular in the US, but it’s also popular in Sweden. The Zyn series makes a slim, moist pouch that is similar to Lyft/Velo. They also make their more popular format, the mini dry format. The mini dry format is available in Sweden, but also available in the US. They have recently released a few new variants in their Zyn mini dry format: Black Cherry and Gold. In this review, we’re going to talk about Black Cherry.

Back in the summer of 2021, Swedish Match launched VOLT, a new line of nicotine pouches. Recently, they’ve created something entirely new and innovative: Volt Pearls. This format is set to create a new type of nicotine pouches and bring them to a whole new level. In this review, we’ll be covering the red one, Twisted Berry.

White Fox is a line of nicotine pouches by GN Tobacco, makers of the popular Oden’s Snus and Siberia Snus. This line has a handful of flavors and strengths, so there’s something for every nicotine pouch consumer. This one launched back in 2019, and has become one of the more popular members of the White Fox family, and one of the more popular nicotine pouches on the market today in the mint flavor sector. This one is said to be Double Mint, which provides an interesting blend of flavors!

GN Tobacco, the company behind Oden’s Snus and Siberia, joined the growing all white nicotine pouch category in 2019 with the release of their White Fox line. At the time, there were many, many new nicotine pouches launching. I didn’t know which would become popular, because every company was finding their way into this new and growing category. However, White Fox is one that rose from the crowd and became a fan favorite. While others have names, such as Double Mint and Full Charge, this one, White Fox All White Slim Portion doesn’t really seem to have one. I always just call it “the blue one”.

The Skruf Super White line launched back in 2018 from Skruf Snus in Sweden. In terms of quality, Skruf is one that produces a high quality product much like you would get with Swedish Match. There are a lot of nicotine pouch products on the market these days, but Skruf’s Super White line is one of the higher quality ones you can buy. I put them on par with Lyft/Velo, for example. The line comes with a variety of flavors, I'm partial to their Cassice, but Skruf Super White Slim Fresh Extra Strong #4 is quite popular amongst mint lovers.

For many, General Snus was their first introduction to Swedish Snus. General Wintergreen White Portion is one that’s widely available in the US, and one that many use as their all day, every day snus. Wintergreen is a pretty American flavor, however I have encountered a few over the years internationally who are familiar with it. It makes sense that Swedish Match introduced this product, because it blends the traditional, classic, American taste of wintergreen with the high quality, premium nature of Swedish Match snus.

Ace X is a relatively new line of nicotine pouches by Ministry of Snus in Denmark. Ace X is a stronger variation of Ace Nicotine Pouches – coming in at 16mg/g of nicotine! There are two versions of this one – Ace X Cosmic, which has the large/full sized pouches, and Ace X Cool Mint Slim, the one we are talking about today. As opposed to the other one, this one has discrete, slim sized nicotine pouches. The Ace line is a high quality line that has grown in popularity over the past several years, and this one is the latest addition to their solid reputation.

This is an interesting snus. About 13 years ago when I first discovered Swedish Snus, one of the first products I tried was Göteborgs Rapé White Portion. For some reason, I didn’t really enjoy it. However, when I tried Göteborgs Rapé Lingon, I loved it! I used this snus a lot in the early days, but now I use the regular GR more often. But, this has always been a special snus for me. It’s one that I think is quite underrated, because I don’t hear it discussed as often as it should be in the snus community. If you’re an American and reading this and don’t know what lingonberry is, go to your local IHOP and get some Swedish Crepes. They’re delicious. Now, on to the review!
