Nordic Spirit Nicotine Pouches (2026 Edition) - Review. 1 July 2026.

It seems like the Nordic Spirit line from Sweden goes away and comes back every few years, because this seems to be a new edition.  I first tried it in 2018, then when it relaunched in 2019, then when it relaunched (as a limited edition?) in 2025, and now we have it again!  We have several different flavors and strengths to check out today, so this will be fun.  This line is made by Nordic Snus in Sweden, the makers of my favorites LD and Vårgårda!  Now, let's go ahead and open up the cans and talk about the contents, and the strengths available in this new lineup!

The Product

The pouches come in the slim, moist format.  They're quite soft, with a decent moisture amount to them.  They feel quite comfortable under the lip.  Each can weighs 14g and has 20 pouches, at 0.7g each.  I have three strength levels today, 2 Dot "Regular" (5.6mg/pouch), 3 Dot "Strong" (8.4mg/pouch), and 4 Dot "X-Strong" (10.5mg/pouch).  They do also have a "Max" version that is 16.8mg/pouch, but that will be a different review.  The 2 Dot level feels pretty light, but the 3 Dot level has a nicer feel to it, closer to that "regular" level I prefer.  The 4 Dot level is a little stronger than that, but not uncomfortable; it sits probably about the stark level.

Nordic Spirit Sweet Mint

Flavor Description:  "Instant freshness of mint flavour with complementary sweet notes for an extraordinary experience".
Strength: 2 Dot (5.6mg) and 3 Dot (8.4mg)

My Review:  The aroma of this one is smooth, sweet, and minty.  It appears to be mostly peppermint, but perhaps with a light hint of menthol.  In the flavor profile, the mint is smooth, and balanced.  Tones of peppermint mixed with hints of menthol.  It is sweet, but smooth.  It's a pretty refreshing minty combination.

Nordic Spirit Raspberry

Flavor Description:  "The sweet, tangy flavour of raspberry brings a bright, fruity alternative to our mint flavours".
Strength:  4 Dot (10.5mg)

My Review:  The aroma of this one is quite beautiful.  It is smooth, and sweet.  Clear raspberry tones greet you upon opening the can.  The raspberry flavor is quite nice.  It's natural, but balanced.  It's sweet, and very slightly tart.

Nordic Spirit Icy Peppermint

Flavor Description:  "Icy coolness with a peppermint punch for an bold new flavour experience".
Strength:  3 Dot (8.4mg)

My Review:  This one is a lot like Sweet Mint, but a little more icy; the name fits well.  I pick up a present, sharp aroma of peppermint along with subtle tones of menthol.  In the flavor profile, the mint flavor is present, but not as sweet as sweet mint.  It is more sharp, and bold.  The peppermint and menthol tones are pretty well balanced in the taste.

Nordic Spirit Frosty Mint

Flavor Description:  "This fresh and icy blast of peppermint takes intensity to the next level".
Strength:  4 Dot (10.5mg)

My Review:  Wow, they made a lot of mint flavors.  This one is pretty similar to Icy Peppermint.  In the aroma, an icy, sharp aroma of peppermint.  It has a subtle sweetness, and a refreshing nature.  In the flavor profile, pretty similar to Icy Peppermint.  The peppermint flavor is there, and has tones of menthol to it.  It's icy, fresh, and slightly sweet.

Nordic Spirit Dark Fizz

Flavor Description:  "Bursting with spicy-sweet cinnamon, vanilla and citrus. Sweet yet tangy, rich yet zingy".
Strength:  3 Dot (8.4mg)

My Review:  Now, one that isn't mint!  Nice!  This one has a beautiful aroma to it.  I pick up a sweet, gentle aroma of cola.  There are subtle hints of cinnamon, and almost a slight tang to it.  The flavor is quite nice.  The cola taste is gentle, but present.  It's smooth, and sweet.  There are subtle tones of cinnamon and vanilla behind it, and a slightly tart nature (perhaps from citrus).  Very tasty stuff here!

Nordic Spirit Blueberry

Flavor Description:  "A burst of bright blueberry, with smooth sweetness and a fresh flavour finish".
Strength:  3 Dot (8.4mg)

My Review:  And lastly, we have the blueberry flavor to check out.  In the aroma, I pick up a sweet, smooth aroma of blueberry.  The flavor is really tasty stuff.  It has a smooth, light essence of blueberry to it.  It's not weak by any means, but not overpowering.  There is a subtle sweetness to this one, but the sweetness isn't overdone in a way that would overpower or overtake the blueberry.  It's quite lovely.

Rating and Final Thoughts

My ratings are below.  The strength on these did affect the final score, so I'm going to offer my thoughts simply looking at the flavor.  I enjoyed Dark Fizz (3.25) and Raspberry (3/5) the most.  After that, Blueberry at 2.75/5.  The mint ones all seemed to hover around the same score for me, a 2.5/5 to Sweet Mint, Frosty Mint, and Icy Peppermint.  I don't do a lot of mints, so they were about average to me.  

Product quality-wise, I can say I was quite impressed.  The pouches are very nice, with a great moisture amount and feel.  The nicotine release was pleasant on all of these as well.  So, you really can't go wrong with any of them depending on what flavors you enjoy!
