LYFT Cool Eucalyptus X-strong - Expert Review

When it comes to nicotine pouches, one of the most widely well known, popular, and highly regarded brands is Lyft. Lyft was one of the first major brands that launched when this category was in its infancy, and grew to be a fan favorite over the past several years. Recently, BAT began rebranding Lyft into Velo, to give it more worldwide uniformity. However, the Lyft name has re-emerged in Sweden and now offers a few new and interesting flavours. If you like Velo, you’ll find with this one it’s the same product quality and experience you get with that one. And vice-versa. Today, we’re checking out a new addition to the relaunched Swedish Lyft line: Cool Eucalyptus X-Strong!

To be honest, when I first checked this one out, I felt like I had used it before. I used a few more pouches and then it hit me, this one reminds me a lot of Velo Eucalyptus, that I reviewed a few months ago. That makes sense, given that Lyft and Velo are both made by BAT. My estimation is that this may be a rebranded Velo Eucalyptus, but I’m not entirely sure on that one. That being said, I’m still going to give this one a review.

When you open the can, a present aroma of menthol comes through. Much like opening a fresh bag of menthol cough drops, this one packs the menthol aroma in a major way. The pouches are slim, with a soft feel to them. They have a decent moisture amount, and release flavour pretty quickly under the lip. When I put one in, at first I get a slight burn, which fades and gives way to a gentle cooling sensation. They have a nice fit under the lip, and feel pretty soft against the gum. In the flavour profile, it’s a pretty straightforward taste of menthol. It’s quite present, and comes with a light amount of sweetness to it. If you like menthol, you’ll be impressed with the bold nature of menthol in the flavour profile of this one. In the nicotine strength, this one comes in at 10.9mg/pouch. That may sound like regular strength on paper, but to me it definitely delivers at the strong level, maybe a little bit above. This one comes on pretty quickly, and has a decent kick to it. In the flavour longevity, this one hangs out for about 40-45 minutes, so it has a pretty decent amount of life to it.

Wrap-Up & Recommendation

In the world of nicotine pouches, there is no higher quality than Lyft / Velo. These pouches offer a wide mix of flavours and strengths, and a premium pouch. No matter where you fall, there is something for you within this series. If you like the taste of menthol, you’ll feel right at home with this one, with the strong presence of menthol in the flavour profile!

Snubie’s Opinion

I don’t really use menthol pouches. Every now and then, if I catch a cold or have a sore throat, I’ll reach for a menthol pouch, but it’s not a flavour I use much of myself. However, I think people who enjoy this sort of thing will be pleased with it. It’s a high quality pouch, with a bold flavour of menthol! While not for me, it is a pretty good pouch that menthol lovers are going to enjoy.
