I've been following the Anglo Spirit
account on Twitter/X for a while, and finally tracked down their pouch to try out!
Anglo Spirit is a UK based nicotine pouch brand. Their website says "
Designed in Britain, Manufactured in Europe, Made this good by Nature". They're relatively new and currently only have one product in their range: Kendal Mint, at the 4mg strength. But, from what I read on their website there is an 8mg strength coming soon. The flavor description for this one says "A refreshing burst of
peppermint". Also, I like to see that it's sweetened with xylitol. You'll notice the can has a pretty nice look to it. It's a metal can, which you don't see with nicotine pouches. I weighed the pouches out at 0.47g each. There's 20 pouches per can, so that gives you a total content weight of 9.47g. In the strength these are just 4mg/pouch. If you want to do some backward math, that's 8.51mg/g, but really what matters is the mg/pouch. Let's check them out, shall we?
Opening the can, the mint aroma is quite refreshing. It comes across as a smooth peppermint, with a light touch of sweetness to it. The pouches are slim, and lighter in weight. They have a very soft feel to them, and a nice moisture amount. Under the lip, they sit well against the gum, and have a subtle cooling presence when they come on. In the flavor profile, it's quite refreshing. The peppermint taste is smooth, and semi-sweet. It's not too in your face, and has a nice balance to it. In the strength level, these sit at just 4mg/pouch. The strength is light, yes. It's not as light as other 4mg pouches I've had before. I'd say it's comparable to a 6mg pouch. The flavor has a decent lifespan to it, lasting up to about 40ish minutes, or so.
Rating and Final Thoughts
For a new company's first product, I was pretty pleased with these. I liked the metal can a lot. Granted, I'm not the biggest mint enthusiast, I found the flavor to be satisfactory and enjoyable. I look forward to trying their 8mg strength, and hopefully new flavors in the future. But, it's a solid release. And, for a 4mg pouch, it did have more kick than I anticipated, which is nice. I rated these at 3.17/5. That's a lower score, but I don't do a ton of mint products. Generally, in the nicotine pouch category, anything between a 3 and a 4 on my scale is a "usable" product, or one that I would say is decent/good. Their website says they're hoping to expand, so stay tuned if you're outside of their current market!
