Iceberg Guava Lime Review: Taste, Strength & Price

Iceberg doesn't really do subtle. The brand is known for some of the strongest pouches on the market, so when a fruity Guava Lime version showed up, we were curious whether the flavour would survive the nicotine.

First impression

The lime hits first. It's sharp and a bit sour, almost like squeezing a wedge over your tongue. After a couple of minutes the guava comes through – sweeter, softer, slightly tropical. It's a nice combo because the sweetness takes the edge off the burn.

How strong is it?

Strong. You'll feel a tingle under the lip within a minute and the effect builds quickly. If you normally use something like a regular ZYN, this will feel like a big step up.

Our honest advice: this is not a starter pouch. If you're new, start with ZYN or LOOP and work up.

Pouch feel

The pouches are fairly slim and soft, they sit well and don't drip much. Flavour lasts around 30 minutes before it starts to fade, which is about average for this category.

Who is it for?

• Daily users who find normal strengths too mild
• People who like fruit flavours but still want a proper kick
• Anyone tired of mint

Price

Specialist shops usually charge €5–€6.50 per can. At Pouch10 a 10-pack of Iceberg is €14.99, or €29.99 for 30 cans – that's about €1 each.
