KUMA Nicotine Pouches

KUMA nicotine pouches show that higher strengths don’t have to mean boring flavors. With taste profiles like Banana Toffee alongside classics like Wintergreen, there’s a full set of options. Each slim portion contains 11mg of nicotine.

Best KUMA Pouches Flavours: Too Good to “Bear”

KUMA means “bear” in Japanese. Whether the brand chose this symbol to demonstrate the “ferocious” strength of the pouches or simply because they liked the word, we’re not quite sure.

But one thing for certain is that the range of flavours could be described as un”bear”ably good.

Below, we’ve highlighted the most popular portions in KUMA’s repertoire depending on the type of flavour a pouch user seeks.

Something Sweet

Got a bit of a sweet tooth? KUMA Banana Toffee might be just the job, with an explosion of everyone’s favourite potassium-rich fruit alongside the sugary yet creamy taste of toffee.

Something Fruity

KUMA also has two flavours that focus solely on fruitiness.

First up, there’s Blood Orange, which offers a little twist on a classic citrus flavor. Blood orange is said to have notes of berries alongside a classic orange, giving it a bit of a floral taste. KUMA Blood Orange offers a delicious, tangy sweetness.

A second option is KUMA Cherry. This also has a sweet taste from ripe and juicy cherries, resulting in a rich flavour.

Something Mint

Mint is such a classic in the nicotine pouch world that few brands dare to release a collection that doesn’t include it. This is no exception, with KUMA Wintergreen boasting the refreshing taste of minty wintergreen. But it’s more than just another mint pouch, with a distinct herbal and creamy flavour.

Are KUMA Pouches Right for Me?

There’s no such thing as a “good” or “bad” nicotine pouch. Rather, there can only be a pouch that is suitable or unsuitable for any given individual. Here, we’ve highlighted how to determine if KUMA nicotine pouches are the right fit.

KUMA Pouches are High-Strength

KUMA pouches are part of Snusdirect’s selection of strong nicotine pouches. Each pouch contains 11mg of nicotine, which is significantly more than a normal-strength portion (typically, these contain between 4mg and 6mg of nicotine).

There’s no forgetting that the portions are a strong option here, as each product has the phrase “Ultra Strong” in its name and boasts five dots on the front of the can as a strength signifier.

However, it should be noted that brands have different definitions of nicotine strength. Just because another pouch can displays the same number of dots as KUMA or has a similar phrase in its name, it doesn’t necessarily mean the product contains the same amount of nicotine.

KUMA Pouches have a Slim Format

Nicotine pouches come in various shapes and sizes, ranging from short and narrow (mini pouches) to long and wide (large pouches).

KUMA pouches have a slim format, which conveniently falls in the middle of these two extremes. This “best of both worlds” appeal is likely what has seen the slim size emerge as the most popular format for pouch users — many of our bestselling products on Snusdirect have a slim format.

However, KUMA’s pouches are particularly lightweight, as they weigh just 0.55g each. For comparison, many slim pouches have a weight closer to 0.7g.

From the Makers of Après

When faced with the decision about whether to take a punt on a brand-new nicotine pouch brand, it’s normal to feel a little skeptical or apprehensive.

Fortunately, in the case of KUMA, the brand isn’t as new as it first appears. The manufacturer, Après Nicotine AB, has already launched another successful pouch brand (and those who are familiar with our products can likely guess what it is).

Après nicotine pouches have already proven popular with customers across Europe thanks to their high-end, premium approach, and unique flavours that stand out from the crowd.

How do Après and KUMA Pouches Compare?

Here’s a quick overview of how the two brands are similar (and different):

Both Après and KUMA pouches have a slim format.
There’s a wider range of strengths available in the Après range (from 4mg to 11mg per portion), while all KUMA pouches are high-strength, with 11mg of nicotine each.
The two collections feature different flavours. For instance, KUMA doesn’t offer a Cactus Lime or Blueberry flavour, while Après doesn't have a Banana Toffee or a Cherry flavour.
