Vika is a new line of
snus and
nicotine pouches I recently discovered on
Snus24.com. From what I can tell, the company in Sweden that makes them is known as
Vika Svensson. On their website, I read that she was born in Stockholm in 1879. She got an engineering degree from the University of Sweden. In 1911, she opened a coffee house in Gothenburg where lots of rich and famous people met. She sold snus to her clientele there, where she earned the nickname "Snus-Vika". I'm assuming this product line is made in her honor. This one is a
nicotine pouch product, and the
flavor description says, "
The Vika Blue is a beautiful all white portion snus with a long lasting taste dimension and a fast kick. With a spearmint aroma". Each can weighs 14g and has 20 portions, for 0.7g portions. The nicotine strength is 12.5mg/g (1.25%), or 8.75mg/portion.
It seems like most mint products these days are peppermint, or menthol. So, it's nice to see some spearmint ones pop up. When it comes to mint flavors, I usually prefer spearmint myself. This one is pretty pleasant, as well. The aroma is a smooth, lightly sweet spearmint aroma. The portion is super soft, and quite comfortable in the lip. It's semi-moist, and has a nice cooling presence to it. The flavor is pretty enjoyable. It's a smooth, fresh, sweet spearmint taste. Sometimes I think there's a little peppermint in the background, but it's mostly spearmint. The nicotine feels about regular, maybe. Little above. The flavor, on average, lasts about 40-45 minutes.
Rating and Final Thoughts
I rated this one at 3.5 out of 5. That may sound low, but I don't really use nicotine pouches. For me, 3 is about the bar for what I consider to be a "decent" or "solid" product. I rated this one at 3.5 out of 5, which is what I'd consider to be above average. Honestly, it's a pretty tasty nicotine pouch. And I like that it isn't insanely strong. If this is your sort of thing, you may enjoy it!
