Commonalities:
Portion/Mouthfeel - These are all slim nicotine pouches, with a soft feel and semi-moist in nature.
Flavor Longevity - The flavor lasts between 45-50 minutes, on average, for all three.
Nicotine Strength - I'll cover these below.
Nicotine Strengths:
5mg/portion ("Slim Jane") - These are a lighter strength, for those with lighters cravings. To me, they feel a little below regular strength.
10mg/portion ("Fat Jack") - These are going to be a little stronger than the regular level, for those with more moderate cravings.
15mg/portion ("Big Bertha") - This is the highest strength version, for folks with more nicotine craving. These feel firmly at the strong level.
Now, we'll talk about where they differ: aroma and flavor.
Flavor Description: "For those who prefer the traditional, yet subtle, taste of menthol with their nicotine. Pop a pouch for the recognizable freshness of wintergreen."
Review: This one is different from the average wintergreen to me. It's a more complex, unique wintergreen. In the aroma, I pick up a deep, rich character of wintergreen. There's some herbal notes, and a subtle mint. It seems to have a root beer-esque character. In the flavor, the wintergreen taste is there but it's not in your face. It's more of a deep, rich, complex wintergreen. It's herbal in nature, lightly sweet, and with faint tones of mint. It reminds me of a good root beer, honestly.
Flavor Description: "Reinvigorate with the icy flavor of cool mint. Hits your mouth with a quick release of nicotine, as well as the uplifting and lingering taste of frosty mint."
Review: This one has a pretty fresh aroma of peppermint. It's not sharp, and comes across in a smooth way. It is a little on the sweeter side. In the lip, you get a nice cooling presence because of the mint character. In the flavor, the mint is pretty refreshing. It's not as sharp as other peppermints; this one is more smooth in nature. It's also a little sweeter than the average mint.
Flavor Description: "A perfect balance of sweet and sour. Experience the near-instantaneous hit of nicotine, combined with a fresh burst of tangy citrus fruits, each time you pop a pouch."
Review: This one has a present, tart aroma to it. The citrus is definitely tangy, and reminds me of lemon. It also has a very subtle sweetness to it. In the flavor, the citrus base is quite tart. It's mostly lemon, and has a really tangy character to it. It is a little sweet, but it's not overdone, at all. I also found this one to pair pretty well with a good IPA, just a little added pro-tip.
Rating and Final Thoughts
All in all, these were pretty solid products. They aren't all dry and stiff like other US products. The flavors are solid, there is a variety of strengths, and I dig the can designs. The citrus and wintergreen ones came out on top for me, at 3.17/5. The mint one right below at 3/5. It's very rare that I rate a wintergreen variant as high as a citrus one, but this one has such a unique character that it earned a higher than average rating for me. It's probably the most unique wintergreen I've had yet. If you're a US nicotine pouch consumer looking to try something out, I'll put a link to their website below!
