Emerald, the green apple can with a lime edge
Green name, green flavour. Iceberg Ultra Emerald is the green apple snus at the top of the Iceberg shelf, a 56mg pouch from the Ultra line, which the brand describes as its top line. It comes from Iceberg Tobacco, a Warsaw company, and wears the Ultra uniform: black lid, ULTRA across the top, the polygon bear head over the ICEBERG wordmark and the flavour name beneath. The brand's own label for the taste is green apple and lime, sweet and sour in equal measure. Here's the thing. Plenty of apple cans lean sweet. This one leans sharp and sweet at once, and that is the whole appeal.
Sour apple sherbet first, lime behind it, sweet underneath
Pop one in and the sourness is first out of the can, the fizz of a green apple sherbet from the newsagent, then the apple itself fills in, crisp and clean. The lime sits behind it as a citrus edge rather than a separate flavour, keeping the whole thing bright. Underneath there is a steady sweetness that stops it tipping into pure sharpness, and the balance between the two holds right through the load. It finishes clean, with the sour note fading last. The 56mg is there from early on and never lets go. Fair play to it, that is a lot of flavour for a mint free can.
56mg of green apple, and the two rungs of Iceberg here
Each pouch holds 56mg of nicotine, which puts Emerald well into our extreme band, the band that starts at 25mg and has no ceiling. Iceberg's lines run Light, Medium, Strong, Extreme and Ultra, and on our shelf you see two rungs: a 35mg Extreme can below and the Ultra line at 56mg on top, where Emerald sits with Arasaka, Black and the rest of the Ultra cans. The pouches are white and tobacco free, 0.8g each, 20 in the can. Uptake is fast and the curve is steep, which is the Ultra promise, so this is strong snus for people already at the top of the scale.

The sour apple crowd at the top of the scale
Emerald is for the strong snus user who has done the mints and wants a fruit with some bite in it. If you already use a sour apple or sour berry can lower down the scale and want the same sharpness with a far bigger number, this is the obvious step. Want the sour edge on berries instead of apple? Iceberg Ultra Sour Berries sits beside it at the same 56mg. Prefer the fruit sweet and soft? Iceberg Ultra Grape is the gentle one on the same rung. Give it a go.
