A can of Nordic Spirit Raspberry 9mg

Nordic Spirit Raspberry, with the Strong number on the lid

Here's the thing about Nordic Spirit Raspberry 9mg: it is the fruit can that mint regulars keep sneaking into the basket. The brand belongs to JTI, began life in Sweden in 2018, reached the UK in 2019, and these days the pouches come out of Poland. Raspberry belongs to the brand's Moist range, which is the label on the pack, and this is the 9mg version, sold as Strong on the can. No mint in it at all, which in a range this full of mint makes it the one that stands out on the shelf. It is a tobacco free pouch, and it keeps the fruit simple.

Sweet, tangy raspberry, from the first pouch to the last

Pop one in and the raspberry comes through fast, sweet first and then tangy, the way a spoon of raspberry jam does before the toast turns up. The Moist range is built for that, the maker says, more moisture in the pouch for a softer feel and a quicker flavour release. There is no cooling behind it, no mint waiting in the wings, just the fruit holding its line through the load. The finish is clean and a touch sharp, so the last pouch of the can tastes like the first one did. Proper raspberry, no messing about.

9mg a pouch, and the two raspberry rungs on the shelf

Every pouch carries 9mg of nicotine, which puts it in our medium band, the one that runs from 8mg to 16mg. Nordic Spirit works a three rung ladder on this shelf, 6mg, 9mg and 11mg, and Raspberry comes at the first two, so this is the top raspberry can the brand makes for us. Uptake is gentle rather than quick, and the curve builds across the pouch rather than all at once. The pouches are slim, 20 to a can, with a space in the lid for the used ones. The lid shows the strength as dots next to the mg, so you can tell the two raspberry cans apart at a glance.

Who picks up the 9mg raspberry at Nordic Spirit

This is the can for anyone who likes their snus without mint, and for the Raspberry 6mg regular who has been eyeing the next rung for a while. Same fruit, same slim pouch, 9mg instead of 6mg. If a berry mix is more your thing, Nordic Spirit Forest Berries 9mg sits at the same number with wild berries and blackcurrant, and if you want the fruit with a cool edge, Frosty Berry 9mg puts peppermint in front of a berry finish. Fair play to it, Raspberry is the straightforward one of the three. Give it a go.
