Cuba Nicotine Pouches

Cuba comes from Nicotobacco Factory, a Polish maker that has built its name on strong, fruit led pouches. Rather than chase the low strength market, Cuba aims squarely at users who want a firm hit. Consequently the range has become a regular pick for people stepping across from stronger snus.

Every tin follows the same format. Inside you get 20 slim pouches, which sit comfortably under the lip. Moreover the lid doubles as a used pouch compartment, so disposal stays tidy when no bin is nearby.

The pouches are white and dry to the touch. As a result they stay discreet in the mouth and drip far less than moist styles. Flavour still arrives quickly, and it holds steady for around half an hour.

The range splits into three broad camps. Firstly there is the fruit group, which is where most people start. Watermelon and Peach are the sweetest, while Mango, Pineapple and Tropical Fruit lean juicier and sharper.

Berries form the second cluster. Blueberry is the mellowest of them. Meanwhile Raspberry and Blackcurrant bring more tartness, and Forest Berries blends several together. Blackberry and Cherry sit at the darker, jammier end.

Thirdly, the cool and unusual picks. Ice Spearmint cools gently, whereas Double Fresh is the sharpest pouch Cuba makes. Cold Dry drops flavour entirely. Then there are the oddities: Cola, Grape, Apple Juice, Banana Hit and the creamy Jogurt.
