On! Nicotine Pouches have been on the market for quite some time now. I first tried them several years ago when they launched in 2015. Over the past 7 years, the On! brand has grown in popularity. Altria bought the manufacturer of On! in June of 2019 for 372 million US dollars, showing how popular the brand has become, and its potential. The brand has grown from a small product line to one of the most highly regarded lines on the market. The brand comes in three strengths, and a wide variety of flavors. With this one, there truly is something for everyone.

On! Cinnamon

In the world of nicotine pouches, there are quite a few flavors that seem to be among the most popular. Most brands have mint flavors and wintergreen flavors, but another one that is quite common is cinnamon. I don't chew a lot of gum, but I love cinnamon gum. So, one flavor that has always interested me in smokeless products is cinnamon. Today, we're visiting Altria’s On! Nicotine Pouches: Cinnamon. I have three strengths on deck that we're going to check out - 2mg, 4mg, and 8mg.

This one has a lot of aroma to it for a mini/dry pouch. When I opened the can, cinnamon jumped out, clear as day. It’s a present, spicy citrus aroma. The pouches are the mini dry type, so they’re stiff at first, but as they get more moist in the lip they will soften up. The flavor is quite good, especially if you like cinnamon. The cinnamon taste is present, a little spicy, and subtly sweet. In the nicotine strength, we have 3 - 2mg, 4mg, and 8mg. I mostly use regular strength, so I found the 8mg to be most satisfying for me. The 4mg was on the lighter end, and then the 2mg one was quite light. I’d say 8mg is for those with more moderate cravings, 4mg for those with lighter cravings, and 2mg for those who have very light nicotine cravings. On the longevity end, the flavor lasts a good 30-40 minutes.

Wrap-Up & Recommendation:

If you like the taste of Cinnamon, you’ll enjoy this one. The On! range covers a lot of flavor options, and each flavor has multiple strengths available. So no matter what you like, you can tune it to exactly what nicotine frequency you’re on. Cinnamon is a great option, but they also have other tasty offerings such as citrus and coffee!

Snubie’s Opinion:

The On! Cinnamon is a very impressive product: whereas I have previously preferred only ZYN’s cinnamon flavored products, this spicy and semi-sweet cinnamon has certainly got me convinced that On! can deliver just as well, if not better, on this flavor. Sometimes, cinnamon pouches have too little flavor and are overly sweet, lingering for a long period as an overbearing sweetness afterwards. But honestly, just give this one a go, you will not be disappointed!

On! Original

In the world of nicotine pouches, there is a wide variety of flavors: mint, cinnamon, coffee, wintergreen, citrus, and more! No matter what flavor you like, you can find one. But, what if you’re someone who just wants nicotine but may not want a flavor? Well, today we’re going to talk about Altria’s On! Nicotine Pouches unflavored option: Original. We have three different nicotine strengths here today: 2mg, 4mg, and 8mg. So, let’s check it out and see what this one is all about!

In this review, it’s going to be relatively simple. As far as an aroma and flavor goes for this one - there isn’t one. Really all I taste is the pouch material. But we can talk about some of the other things. The pouch, for example, is a mini dry pouch. It’s kind of stiff, but once it’s hung out under the lip for a bit it’ll get moist and soften up. The flavor longevity isn’t really a topic either, because there isn’t a flavor. So technically you can keep these in as long as you want. The main thing we can discuss, however, is strength. The 2mg level is really light, and for those with the lightest of nicotine cravings. The 4mg level is a little more moderate, but still light. The 8mg level is more my speed, and delivers at the regular strength mark. I enjoy that one the most.

Product Specifics:

Can Weight: 6.4 grams
Portion Format: Mini Dry Nicotine Pouches
Portion Count: 20 pouches
Portion Weight: 0.32 grams each
Available Nicotine Strengths: 2mg/pouch, 4mg/pouch, 8mg/pouch

Wrap-Up & Recommendation:

On! Nicotine Pouches Original is a product for those who want nicotine but don’t want anything else. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll find it here. You get a nice nicotine delivery, and can get it right at your preferred strength. And, with no added flavor, you can use these anytime and not have to worry about flavors clashing.

Snubie’s Opinion:

Although this product isn’t for me, personally, because I really enjoy lots of high quality flavor, I can definitely see why this product would appeal to a lot of people. Sometimes, lots of flavor can be annoying and overpower other flavor experiences, that’s one of the plus sides of a flavorless pouch like the On! Original. Honestly, this flavorless pouch in 2 mg is an incredibly light way to enjoy nicotine, in mini format, you’ll barely notice it’s there!

On! Mint

Of all the nicotine pouch flavors available today, mint is without a doubt the most present. And, it is the most popular. Manufacturers are constantly pumping out new mint flavors. I may not be the biggest mint user myself, but I use them from time to time. Usually after brushing my teeth. Today, that brings us to Altria’s On! Nicotine Pouches. We’re going to be discussing their mint flavor. And, not only that! But we have three strengths to check out: 2mg, 4mg, and 8mg. So, mint lovers, let’s dive into this review and check out On!’s mint flavored offering!

Opening up the can I pick up a spearmint aroma. It’s a light one, and pretty mild in how it comes across. It has a little sweetness to it, but not a lot. The pouches come in the mini dry format. So, they can be quite stiff at first but give them time! As they get more moist in the lip you’ll find they soften up a good bit. You also get a little tingle in the lip, and a little cooling presence due to the mint flavor of this one. The flavor is pretty refreshing. It’s not a major flavor, and comes across in a pretty mild way. The spearmint is light, so it’s not too much, but it has a decent presence to it. And it’s not super sweet, which is something I appreciate. In the strength, the 2mg one is the lighter version and for those who have pretty light cravings. The 4mg one is a little extra over that but still pretty light. I was most satisfied with the 8mg one, which delivered at the regular level and had the most kick to it. The flavor longevity for those one hangs out a good 30-40 minutes.

Product Specifics:

Can Weight: 6.4 grams
Portion Format: Mini Dry Nicotine Pouches
Portion Count: 20 pouches
Portion Weight: 0.32 grams each
Available Nicotine Strengths: 2mg/pouch, 4mg/pouch, 8mg/pouch

Wrap-Up & Recommendation:

If you like the flavor of mint, you’ll be pleased with On! Nicotine Pouches Mint. It comes in three strengths: 2mg, 4mg, and 8mg, so no matter what your nicotine cravings are, you’ll be able to find one in this family that is satisfactory for you. It is a milder mint flavor, so it is a great option for all day use for the discerning mint consumer!

Snubie’s Opinion:

I find it hard to think there are any nicotine users out there who wouldn’t appreciate On!; they are very easy to use, their can design is great, and this mint flavor of theirs is very fresh and gently sweet. I don’t regularly use this one myself, but that’s simply because I have acquired other favorites over the years, and if I didn’t have those, I imagine I would use the On! Mint - it’s simply a very enjoyable, high quality product.

On! Wintergreen

Today, it has come to this: On! Nicotine Pouches Wintergreen. If you know me, you know I have an interesting relationship with wintergreen. Sometimes I want it, sometimes I don’t. I have a very love/hate relationship with it. In the world of nicotine pouches, there are quite a lot of wintergreen offerings, so it’s a great way to introduce wintergreen lovers to the tobacco-free category. Today, we have Altria’s take on the flavor profile and three strengths to talk about: 2mg, 4mg, and 8mg. So, let’s jump into it!

Opening up the can, the wintergreen aroma is pretty present. It’s got a little sweetness to it, but not an overabundant amount. You’ll find the pouches to be the mini dry format, and stiff at first. But, as you have them in the lip longer and the more moist they get, the more they’ll start to soften up. The flavor is pretty nice. The wintergreen is present, but balanced. It has a little sweetness to it, and an overall mild nature. In the nicotine strength, I found the 8mg to be the most satisfying, feeling right at the regular level. The 2mg and 4mg levels are lighter, with the 2mg one being the lightest. The 4mg one wasn’t too bad, but still lighter than I prefer. The flavor longevity was no slouch; I found about 30-40 minutes of taste in each pouch.

Product specifics:

Can Weight: 6.4 grams
Portion Format: Mini Dry Nicotine Pouches
Portion Count: 20 pouches
Portion Weight: 0.32 grams each
Available Nicotine Strengths: 2mg/pouch, 4mg/pouch, 8mg/pouch

Wrap-Up & Recommendation:

Wintergreen lovers, this one is for you. The strength is up to you in the end. 2mg, 4mg, or 8mg? That depends on your preference. But the flavor will please anyone who enjoys the woodsy, outdoorsy wintergreen taste. It’s present, but not overbearing. And it has just enough sweetness that it’s good for all day usage!

Snubie’s Opinion:

I have really felt over the years that there is no competitor to ZYN’s wintergreen, it’s simply too great, but I stand corrected: On! Wintergreen really surprised me. I would say that this one has a more present flavor than ZYN, which I really enjoyed. Also, another plus that I can’t mention enough, I think On! has superior cans - they fit perfectly in any pocket.

On! Coffee

I am not the biggest coffee drinker. But I do enjoy coffee flavored pouches. So, today we’re going to be checking one out! This is a product in Altria’s On! Nicotine Pouches range with a tasty coffee flavor. I know, I don’t drink the stuff, but I love these pouches. Not only that, but we have three strengths to talk about - 2mg, 4mg, and 8mg! So, we have our work cut out for us today! Without further ado, let’s get into it!

Opening up the can, the aroma is no slouch. I pick up a lot of coffee presence as soon as I open the lid. It’s a nice black coffee taste. It’s a little sweet, but not overly sweet. The pouches are the mini dry format, and stiff at first but more soft after a little time in the upper lip. The flavor is top notch if you dig coffee. You’ll find yourself right at home with this one if you like the taste of coffee, no doubt. The coffee flavor is present, slightly sweet, and rich. It’s definitely a coffee lovers dream. So, the nicotine strengths, we have three. The 8mg one is more my speed, delivering at the regular level. The 4mg one is a little lighter, but not too weak. The 2mg one is very light, and definitely geared more towards those with lighter cravings. In the flavor longevity, it hangs out a good 30-40 minutes.

Product specifics:

Snubie’s Opinion:

I’m not a coffee drinker, but I definitely enjoy coffee flavored candy, pastilles etc as long as they are on the sweeter side. When it comes to On! Coffee the flavor is straightforward coffee which I imagine coffee drinkers will love. I enjoyed this one, despite it being so coffee-centric, because its flavor release is very nice and it has that typical On! quality feel which is very important for your overall experience. Definitely a product I recommend to coffee-fans!

On! Citrus

If you know me, you know the whole ballgame to me is the citrus flavor. It’s my favorite flavor, and what I use the most. So, On! Nicotine Pouches Citrus flavor is one I’ve been curious to try out. Altria’s On! Nicotine Pouches comes in a variety of strengths and flavors, so we also have three nicotine levels to talk about today: 2mg, 4mg, and 8mg. No matter what you enjoy, this line really has something for everyone, so let’s get into it!

Opening up the box, I notice a nice citrus aroma. To me, it makes me think of lemon. It’s a little sweet, but also tart. The mini dry pouches are a little stiff at first as I put one in, but over time they start to soften up as they get more moist under the lip. The flavor on this one is a citrus lovers dream, a nice, bright, citrusy taste! The lemon flavor is what I pick up most. It’s slightly tart, with just a dab of sweetness to it. In the nicotine strength, I enjoyed the 8mg one most, it delivered right at the regular strength level with a decent kick to it. The 4mg one was lighter, and the 2mg one was quite faint in terms of strength. I think that one is more for people who may not need much nicotine. The 4mg one is more for the moderate craving. The flavor hangs out for a good 30-40 minutes.

Product specifics:

Can Weight: 6.4 grams
Portion Format: Mini Dry Nicotine Pouches
Portion Count: 20 pouches
Portion Weight: 0.32 grams each
Available Nicotine Strengths: 2mg/pouch, 4mg/pouch, 8mg/pouch

Wrap-Up & Recommendation:

The On! Nicotine Pouches line is certainly a diverse one. With a wide mix of flavors, and 3 strengths in each flavor, this is truly a “something for everyone” line. The citrus taste is obviously my favorite of the bunch, and it’s one for people who are looking for a good all day, every day type of pouch.

Snubie’s Opinion:

I could go on forever about citrus flavored pouches, in my opinion - there is no better flavor! Especially when the producer manages to find the perfect balance between tangy and sweet, which is certainly the case for On!’s Citrus pouches. This one is slightly sweeter than some of the other citrus products out there, but in a very nice, refreshing way. If you also prefer mini pouches with minimal drip then I would say On! Citrus is likely for you!
