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, "
It has slight sweet strawberry taste but refreshing at the same time. With a hint of lime". 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.
This is one that caught me off guard. I actually found myself enjoying it, which I didn't expect. When you open the can, it's got a pretty nice aroma to it! It's fresh, lightly sweet, and has a nice presence of strawberry. The portions are incredibly soft! They're semi-moist, and quite comfortable under the lip. It also has a nice cooling presence under the lip. The flavor is really interesting; it's complex, but well balanced. I pick up a mild, lightly sweet strawberry, with a faint hint of lime. It also seems to have a little spearmint in the mix. In terms of strength, the nicotine feels to be about regular, maybe just a hair above. The flavor, on average, seems to kick around for about 40-45 minutes.
Rating and Final Thoughts
This one ended up at 3.58 out of 5 for me. That may sound low, but I don't use nicotine pouches. I've found that for me anything over a 3/5 is one I'd consider to be a "solid" nicotine pouch. I like the balance of flavor in this one. Strawberry/lime/spearmint seems to actually work out pretty well. If you're a nicotine pouch user, this is one you'll want to check out. It's got a pretty unique flavor!
