Pose Chew ‘N’ Park: Mint (White) is another tobacco-free product containing nicotine, this one from the Art Factory in Sweden!  This one comes in a round can with a neat denim design scheme!  Northerner.com describes them as a “tobacco derived nicotine product with a chewing gum base. The nicotine in POSE is extracted from the tobacco plant. However; the product contains no tobacco plant matter (e.g., leaf, root) in any form. Therefore this product does not classify as smokeless tobacco”.  

The bottom of the can says to “activate pouch by pressing / lightly chewing between teeth.  Park to release flavor and nicotine.”  I’ve never chewed these, I just put them in my upper lip and use them like regular snus!

The product description says, “POSE Mint All White 7mg delivers a refreshing flavor and nicotine in a discreet pouch. Refreshing flavor of peppermint.” This product comes in a 7.5 gram can with 20 portions at 0.37 grams each. The can says the nicotine content is 7mg per pouch.

First of all, these are kind of dry to the touch. So, they’re not the most comfortable at first when you put them in your lip, however, as they get more moist they do get more comfortable. The aroma of this product is a light, mildly sweet smell of mint. Upon inserting a portion under my upper lip, I encounter a nice, mild cooling presence.  The taste is much the same as the aroma – a very light, faint, subdued taste of mint with a touch of sweetness.  It seems like there may be a little menthol in there, as well.  The flavor lasts up to about the 30 minute mark, and the nicotine feels to be a little below the regular 8mg/g Swedish Snus strength that I’m used to.

If you enjoy nicotine but want to abstain from tobacco, check these out!  They’re different from snus, but don’t contain tobacco.  Give Pose Chew ‘N’ Park: Mint (White) a try if you want something a little different!

Today, we’re going to be talking about Zyn Nicotine Pouches: Cool Mint (06mg).  Zyn is a relatively new product from Swedish Match which contains nicotine but no tobacco!  The Northerner.com description says “ZYN pouches are a tobacco derived nicotine product. The nicotine in ZYN is extracted from the plant Nicotiana tabaccum (“tobacco”) However; the product contains no tobacco plant matter (e.g., leaf, root) in any form.”  More and more these days people are wanting to quit smoking and tobacco, but still enjoy nicotine, so these products are filling that need!

Before we jump into the review, I want to mention something neat about the Zyn cans.  If you peel off the top label (which has the government mandated warning label), you’ll find How To Open and How To Use instructions.  You’ll also have a can that looks much, much better.  Zyn has a childproof lock, so to open it you’ll need to line up the arrows on the can and pop the can open.  Then, put a Zyn pouch in your upper lip and enjoy!

The flavor description for this product says, “Experience the next evolution in nicotine satisfaction. ZYN Cool Mint 06 delivers a refreshing burst of flavor and nicotine in a cleaner, more discreet, smokeless and spitless upper-lip pouch. An icy burst of invigorating mint flavor. This product has a smaller white pouch.”

When you open the can, the aroma is a gentle mint/menthol aroma.  The pouches are small and dry to the touch, so at first they aren’t the most comfortable, but as they get more moist they do get more comfortable!  The taste is quite similar to the aroma.  Zyn Cool Mint has a lightly sweet mint taste with present notes of menthol.  The nicotine strength is stronger than the 03 version.  If you have used snus before, it feels to be about as strong as a regular strength Swedish Snus product (8mg/g).  The flavor on these lasts about 35-45 minutes on average.

If you’re interested in trying something different, or want to enjoy nicotine without tobacco, Zyn Nicotine Pouches: Cool Mint (06mg) is worth a try!

Today, we’re going to be talking about Dryft Peppermint (7mg) Dry White Mini, a product containing nicotine but no tobacco! These products exist for those who may want to quit smoking and tobacco, but still enjoy nicotine! For those wondering what goes into these, the description says “Dryft pouches are a tobacco derived nicotine product with a chewing gum base. The nicotine in Dryft is extracted from the plant Nicotiana tabaccum (“tobacco”). However; the product contains no tobacco plant matter (e.g., leaf, root) in any form. Therefore this product does not classify as smokeless tobacco.”

The flavor description says, “Dryft Peppermint delivers a refreshing flavor and nicotine in a discreet pouch. Has a fresh flavor of peppermint. This product has a smaller white pouch.”

Upon opening the can I noticed a peppermint smell, which came through in a very light and mild way. It wasn’t too sweet, either. The can has 20 portions, which weigh about 0.375 grams each, so they’re smaller in size. They’re also quite dry, but get more comfortable once they become more moist. In the lip I noticed a very light cooling presence, as well. The taste is a relatively light, gentle taste of peppermint with a light touch of sweetness. The flavor lasts up to about 30 minutes on average. The nicotine strength isn’t too strong, so if you don’t need a lot of nicotine you’ll probably be satisfied with this one!

To wrap up, I personally prefer Zyn Peppermint, another nicotine pouch product. But, if you like nicotine pouches and want to try something new, give Dryft Peppermint (7mg) Dry White Mini a try! It’s not too bad, and is a good alternative for ex-smokers!
