Page 2 - LATEST NEWS FROM THE WORLD OF SNUS & NICOTINE POUCHES

The Kapten line has been around for quite a while now, almost a decade! Recently, the Kapten brand has been coming in the Star Formation for their white portions, much like Swedish Match’s premium offerings General, Grov, and others. This one, the original portion version, is said to have a new portion format. Swedish Match says “New recipe - New portion material for more comfort under the lip”. It’s been about a year or so since I’ve had the old Kapten Original Stark so it’ll be interesting to try this new format.

Anyone keeping tabs on what’s going on in the world of nicotine pouches has almost certainly heard the news of the ongoing ZYN shortage. The shortage was caused by drastic spikes in demand for the pouches in the US, but it doesn’t apply to the rest of the world due to different supply sources.

We’ll explain this in more detail throughout this article to clear up any concerns or misconceptions about the impact of the US shortage.

A common question I get asked from people who are new to snus is about “snus powder”. These two words together may not relate much, but the two terms “snus” and “powder” are inherently related through their history, and other similar products in the smokeless tobacco category! Today, we’re going to have a little fun and talk about snus, tobacco “powder”, the history of snus, nasal snuff, usage, and more!

Today, we have one by Helwit to talk about! I haven’t done a lot of reviews of these here, so it’ll be nice to dive into something a little different. Helwit is made by Yoik AB in Sweden, and is a pretty intriguing line of pouches. The can designs have always been very unique, and they have a few flavors that others don’t make. The one we have today, cherry, is also a very uncommon flavor in the world of nicotine pouches, so it’s one I’ve been looking forward to checking out.

The folks at Ministry of Snus have dropped a new nicotine pouch product into the market, and it’s one with a rather intriguing flavor! Today, we have Ace X Superwhite Honeydew Black Pepper on hand to talk about! I’ll be honest, when I saw black pepper being added to that I was a bit nervous. But, I kept an open mind, as usual, and went into this one cautiously optimistic.
