A can of Iceberg Ultra Black 56mg

Black by name, tutti frutti by nature

Here's the thing about Iceberg Ultra Black: the name is the colour of the lid, not the taste. Open it expecting liquorice or something dark and you get the opposite, a sweet mixed fruit gum, the sort the brand itself labels Fruity Gum. It is a 56mg can from the Ultra line, the top rung of Iceberg's own ladder, and it comes from Iceberg Tobacco, a company based in Warsaw. The lid is black with ULTRA printed across the top, the polygon bear head above the ICEBERG wordmark, and blue flames around the bottom. A serious looking can with a sweet shop inside it.

Pineapple, orange, apricot and apple, chewed together

The flavour is the tutti frutti chewing gum from the corner shop, the pink and yellow one, and it tastes that way from the first pouch to the last. The brand lists pineapple, orange, apricot and apple in the mix, and that is roughly the order they turn up: tropical and bright first, then a rounder orchard sweetness behind it. It is sweet rather than sharp, with no mint and no sour edge to interrupt. Through the load the gum character stays put, soft and chewy in the way it reads, while the 56mg gets on with its business underneath. Proper sweet. Proper strong.

56mg behind the fruit gum, and the Iceberg ladder it tops

Each pouch carries 56mg of nicotine, which lands it well inside our extreme band, the one for everything from 25mg upwards. Iceberg's own lines run Light, Medium, Strong, Extreme and then Ultra at the very top, and on our shelf that shows as a 35mg Extreme can below and the Ultra cans at 56mg above it, Black among them beside Arasaka, Emerald and Sweet Mint. The pouches are white and tobacco free, 0.8g apiece, with 20 in the can. Uptake is quick and the drip is heavy for a fruit can, so this is strong snus for people who already live at the top of the scale.

The sweet tooth at 56mg, and the Ultra fruits next door

This is the Ultra can for the strong snus regular who wants something that tastes like a sweet shop rather than a mint tin. If you already use a tutti frutti or bubblegum can lower down the scale and want the same sort of flavour with a far bigger number, Black is the natural move. Prefer one fruit to a crowd of them? Iceberg Ultra Grape does one soft sweet fruit at the same 56mg, and Iceberg Ultra Strawberry Banana Gum keeps the chewing gum idea with a softer pairing. Give it a go.
