Black Jack Nicotine Pouches - Review. 2 July 2022.

Back in 2017, I reviewed a new line of snus products by a company called Snix, out of Slovenia.  They launched a chew bag product in 2018, and then after that, I didn't hear anything about them.  I assumed they quit producing.  But now they're back, and have new chew bags, nicotine pouches, and CBD pouches!  Today, we're checking out their new Black Jack Nicotine Pouches!  Nicotine pouches are incredibly popular nowadays, so it makes sense that Snix would want to explore more into that category.  Their website describes them thusly:  "New line of powerful pouches by SNIX!"  In this review we'll cover two regular ones, Tutti Frutti and Mentha, and one stronger one, Mentha Extremely Strong.

Black Jack Tutti Frutti Nicotine Pouches

Flavor Description:  "Nicotine pouches with a perfectly balanced mix of fruit range and mint".

Can Contents:  11 grams, 20 pouches, 0.55g each

Nicotine Strength:  10mg/pouch (18.18mg/g)

Review:  First, if you aren't familiar with Tutti Frutti, Imperial Sugar describes it like this:  "full of tropical fruit flavors like banana, pineapple, orange, lemon, and cherry".  Just to give a quick background.  The aroma of this one is a lot like pink bubble gum.  It's sweet, and smooth.  The pouches are light in weight, soft to the touch, and comfortable under the lip.  In the flavor, it's a lot like pink bubble gum.  It's perhaps banana, maybe some orange, and with a sweet taste to it.  The nicotine feels about regular, and the flavor lasts about 45 minutes.

Black Jack Mentha Nicotine Pouches

Flavor Description:  "Menthol".

Can Contents:  11 grams, 20 pouches, 0.55g each

Nicotine Strength:  10mg/pouch (18.18mg/g)

Review:  In the aroma, this one has a smooth, fresh, lightly sweet mint aroma with a hint of menthol.  The pouches are light in weight, soft to the touch, and pretty comfortable!  They also have a light cooling presence to them.  In the flavor, it's a smooth, lightly sweet, refreshing taste of mint.  I notice a little menthol in there, but it's not overpowering.  The nicotine strength is also about regular, and the flavor lasts about 40-45 minutes.

Black Jack Mentha (Extremely Strong) Nicotine Pouches

Flavor Description:  "Menthol".

Can Contents:  11 grams, 20 pouches, 0.55g each

Nicotine Strength:  15mg/pouch (27.27mg/g)

Review:  This one may have the same name as the last one, but it is different.  It's stronger, but also has a more present/powerful aroma and flavor.  It has a present, sharp smell of mint.  It's lightly sweet, clear, and refreshing.  The pouches are lighter in weight, soft to the touch, and comfortable under the lip.  It also has a light cooling presence to it.  The flavor is a powerful taste of mint.  It's refreshing, semi-sweet, clear, and quite crisp.  The nicotine feels to be about the strong level, and the flavor hangs out about 45 minutes.

Rating and Final Thoughts

All in all, these weren't too bad.  I like the can designs, and they had pretty good flavors and nicotine strengths.  The regular strength ones rated at 3.17/5 and the stronger one rated at 3/5 (as it's a little stronger than I personally prefer).  The nicotine pouch market is completely flooded right now with new products, so it's hard to keep up with what all is out there.  But, I think people who try these out will enjoy them!
