What is Nordic Spirit?
Nordic Spirit is brought to us all the way from Sweden, the land of snus! Despite the fact that they only debuted as recently as 2019, they’re now one of the most popular brands of nicotine pouches in the UK - and it’s easy to see why!
Nordic Spirit snus (nicotine pouches in the UK & most EU countries) offer users the chance to enjoy amazing flavour whilst also satisfying their cravings for nicotine. Generally, nicotine pouches also provide customers with a healthier nicotine experience that reduces their risk of being exposed to harmful chemicals like carcinogens.
Unlike cigarettes or vapes, Nordic Spirit pouches don’t produce smoke or vapour, making for a subtle nicotine product that you can use almost anywhere, at any time. This makes them far more convenient than other nicotine products, and when paired with how easy they are to use too, using Nordic Spirit nicotine pouches is a no-brainer!
Nordic Spirit Nicotine Pouches: How they Look and Feel
Whilst there are many different brands of nicpod on the market steadily making their way into the mainstream market; there’s still no other brand that’s quite like Nordic Spirit.
Firstly, you can tell by just the feel of Nordic Spirit that they’re a high-quality brand who use the best quality ingredients possible. The pouch itself consists of a quality natural feeling case that sits comfortably in your mouth throughout each use.
It’s not just the ingredients though - the size of the nicotine pouches is also another factor that intrigued me. The pouches produced by Nordic Spirit UK are slightly smaller and thinner than some of the other readily available brands, making them better suited to beginners or those who have only recently switched from smoking to using nicotine pouches.
Last but not least is the colouring of the Nordic Spirit nicpods - although the pouches themselves are all-white portions, the carry-case that they’re supplied in has been colour coded to indicate the type of flavour of the pouches. An example of this would be the new Raspberry Nordic Spirit - the lettering on the box that they’re stored in is a pinky-red to demonstrate the raspberry flavour, whilst the lettering of the Frosty Berry Nordic Spirit is a colourful mix between indigo, deep blue and light, sky-blue to indicate the blend of berries with a cooling, icy sensation.
Nordic Spirit Nicotine Pouches: Is their Nicotine Strength Satisfying?
The Nordic Spirit strengths of nicotine might be thought of as slightly low for some, with the strongest nicotine pouch in their repertoire being just 11mg - but this strength is more than enough to hit the spot and satisfy cravings for some.
However, more experienced users who consume stronger nicotine products on a regular basis may feel that even the strongest Nordic Spirit pouch doesn’t quite satisfy their need for nicotine - this is why Nordic Spirit vs Velo is quite a common comparison, as both brands contain less nicotine than other popular nicotine pouch companies, although Nordic Spirit offer a far more diverse and unique range of flavours, but we’ll come to that later.
Nordic Spirit snus is available in three distinctive nicotine strengths, with each being clearly labelled on the top of the pack using a rating system out of 4 stars to make the strength more easily accessible and understandable for customers.
Although the rating system makes the nicotine strength quite clear, some may say that it’s a little misleading, as the ‘Extra Strong’ strength nicotine is less than half the strength of the Extra Strong nicotine found in other brands, such as the Elf Bar TACJA nicotine pouches. Due to this it’s important that you think about how much nicotine would be strong for YOU. Are you already smoking or vaping a lot? Or do you only smoke/vape socially? There are all important factors to consider when picking your nicotine pouch strength.
Nordic Spirit Flavours Review
Unfortunately I simply didn’t have the time to test out each and every new flavour - although, I’m not sure I could have handled the nicotine hit anyway! I did manage to try the most popular flavours from over the last 12 months though, which included all of our best sellers. So, keep reading to discover which of the Nordic Spirit flavours are my best rated!
Mint Nordic Spirit Review
If you’re a fan of cool, minty, flavours like those found in toothpaste or chewing gum, this is the nicotine pouch for you! Nordic Spirit Mint has a very clean, cool taste with a touch of something similar to menthol and peppermint as far as I can tell. Either way, it makes for a very refreshing and pleasant palate cleanser, and an overall interesting nicotine experience. The only downside is that the flavour isn’t quite as strong as I’d like, which loses it a star.
Elderflower Nordic Spirit Review
Elderflower Nordic Spirit captures the very essence of the Spring Equinox with its vibrant variety of flavours. The floaty floral notes of the elderflower taste as though they’ve been ever so carefully combined with some subtle, light notes of lemon or lime. Whilst this unique pairing might be perfect for some users, floral flavours just aren’t for me, so it was a little middle of the road for my tastes.
Review
With mint being such a popular flavour amongst consumers worldwide - is it any wonder Nordic Spirit have snuck a few into their range of nicotine pouches? The Sweet Mint Nordic Spirit pouches are a cool combination of mouth watering mint mixed with a slight sweetness that makes me think of mint imperials, or humbugs. If you want something that’s both sweet and savoury, you should definitely pick this pouch - I know I will!
Raspberry Nordic Spirit Review
The Raspberry Nordic Spirit nicotine pouches weren’t quite as tangy or fruity as I’d first expected - they’re actually quite a soft, subtle flavour when compared with some of the mint blends. However, that doesn't make the flavour any less enjoyable, just less intense. If you wanted a pouch that packs a punch, this might not be it, but the fruity notes are still pleasant.
Frosty Mint Nordic Spirit Review
The Frosty Mint Nordic Spirit pouches are part of the new Nordic Spirit Intense range - but so far they don’t seem to be anything special. The Frosty Mint was only slightly stronger in intensity than the original mint; and it wasn’t the flavour that was stronger, only the bracing ice-cold cool sensation. If you’ve been craving a blast of brisk icy mint, then you should pick up a pack of these pouches - but I prefer my nicotine pouches with a touch more flavour. As I felt that the minty tones were slightly underwhelming, the Frosty Mint Nordic Spirit lost a star from me.
Frosty Berry Nordic Spirit Review
Unlike the Frosty Mint, the Frosty Berry Nordic Spirit pouches didn’t disappoint one bit! They’re a beautifully bright mixture of berries - possibly some blueberries and raspberries judging by the taste - coupled with an extremely cool feeling that slowly spreads from the pouch to encompass your entire mouth. Now THIS is the intensity I think we’ve all been craving!
Watermelon Nordic Spirit Review
Wow - just wow! What more can I really say about the Watermelon Nordic Spirit? They’re absolutely brimming with the sweet, juicy taste of watermelon - so much so, it actually made my mouth water a little! I think we’re all familiar with the fruity taste of watermelon, which is what makes it so satisfying when you stumble across one that tastes like the real deal. I couldn’t get enough of these pouches, so it’s a solid 5 from me!
Spearmint Nordic Spirit Review
The Spearmint Nordic Spirit is another of our best selling flavours in this particular brand of nicotine pouches, although it might soon have its spot subverted by the new Sweet Mint flavour! The Spearmint Nordic Spirit nicotine pouches are almost exactly as you’d expect them to be; a subtle spearmint flavour. However, what I wasn’t expecting was the very slightly citrusy undertone that came through after the first minute or so - it was a welcome surprise!
However, as much as I enjoyed the flavour, it might not appeal to others, especially as they’re advertised as a straight spearmint flavour nicotine pouch. For that, these nicpods lose a star.
