The folks at Fiedler and Lundgren have taken a page out of Swedish Match's book and released their own Lab Series. This release comes with 3 unique flavor in their nicotine pouch line that consumers in Sweden can try out, and then go provide their feedback on. I'm not sure of their plans, but I would suspect that eventually the winner would end up being produced full time, but that's just my guess at this time. You can get it one of two strengths, regular strength, or strong. I opted for regular strength, as that's my preferred strength. My friend Michael in Sweden was kind enough to grab one of these for me to review, as it doesn't seem anyone else has access to them outside of Sweden.
Lyft/Lab comes in a cool, unique box designed by
Josefin Eklund, a Swedish artist. It's a triangular shaped box, and it slides open to reveal the cans inside. For collectors like myself, we dig this kind of stuff, so it's pretty nice that Fiedler and Lundgren decided to release this limited edition line in a special, one of a kind box.
Lyft/Lab 01_01 (Piña Colada)
The flavor description for this one says, "
A sweet, tart pineapple with a creamy coconut and a nutty undertone. Try this smooth new tropical blend for a velvety taste experience." Each can weighs 16.8g and has 24 portions for 0.7g portions. Lyft/Lab comes in regular strength or strong, and I went with regular strength. The bottom of the can says 6mg, which I imagine is per portion.
When you open the can, a sweet, present aroma of pineapple greets you along with a light hint of coconut. The portions are slim, soft, and feel comfortable under the lip. The taste is very much like the aroma. A present taste of pineapple greets you up front, which comes through in a sweet way. The coconut taste is subtle, and in the background. The nicotine feels to be right at the regular strength level, and the flavor lasts about 45 minutes on average.
Lyft/Lab 01_02 (Amaretto)
The flavor description for this one says, "
A delicately bitter almond with notes of cherry and tangy lemon – a beautifully balanced flavour sensation." Each can weighs 16.8g and has 24 portions for 0.7g portions. Lyft/Lab comes in regular strength or strong, and I went with regular strength. The bottom of the can says 6mg, which I imagine is per portion.
When you open the can, a smooth, lightly sweet cherry aroma greets you. The portions are soft, with a slim fit, and comfortable under the lip. The flavor is a mild, gentle taste of cherry. In the back there's a very faint hint of lemon. The taste is pretty smooth, and not overly sweet. The nicotine strength on this one feels to be about the regular level, and the flavor lasts about 45 minutes on average.
Lyft/Lab 01_03 (Gin and Tonic)
The flavor description for this one says, "
Combines three distinctive flavours in a refreshingly spicy blend; cool cucumber, the prickle of crushed peppercorns and just a hint of juniper." Each can weighs 16.8g and has 24 portions for 0.7g portions. Lyft/Lab comes in regular strength or strong, and I went with regular strength. The bottom of the can says 6mg, which I imagine is per portion.
This one has a pretty fresh aroma to it. I notice pepper up front, accompanied by a subtle cucumber presence, and a faint juniper in the background. The portions are slim, comfortable under the lip, and soft to the touch. The flavor is pretty refreshing. The cucumber is light in presence, and has subtle pepper notes behind it. There's also a very faint hint of juniper in the background. The nicotine feels to be about the regular strength level, and the flavor lasts about 45 minutes on average.
Final Thoughts
Okay, going into this one, I thought the cucumber one (number three) would be my favorite. But surprisingly, the piña colada one was my favorite (number one). But it was close! If I had to rank them, it would go 01 (Piña Colada), 02 (Gin and Tonic), then 03 (Amaretto). They were all tasty, but I would definitely get more of 01 or 02 if they were released on a full time basis!
