How much nicotine is in Pablo pouches?
Pablo nicotine pouches are strong and are ideally suited to heavy smokers and seasoned nicotine pouch users. There are three nicotine strength options available for you to choose, they may knock your socks off if you have low nicotine cravings or if it's your first time.
(You can learn more about nicotine pouch strengths in our in depth guide on Understanding Nicotine Strengths In Pouches.)
Their highest nicotine option comes in a 50mg/g strength. This works out to 30mg per pouch - that’s a lot of nicotine folks. This strength is for the veterans and the chainsmokers.
The second highest strength is 30mg/g or 24mg of nicotine per pouch. This is still a strong amount of nicotine that is suitable for experienced users.
The lowest Pablo nicotine strength are the mini sized versions at 30mg/g or 15mg per pouch. This strength may be the answer once you’re used to using nicotine pouches or you feel that your current nicotine strength isn’t doing it for you.
Considerations when choosing your first nicotine pouch product
If you are just starting on your nicotine pouch journey, we recommend trying a brand with lighter options like the globally popular Zyn or Elf Bar’s Tacja series. It’s better to begin with a lower nicotine strength and work your way up.
The reason we say this is because of how nicotine pouches work. The nicotine is absorbed through the lining of your mouth (also known as Buccal absorption). If you’ve got your nicotine strength just right, you should feel a slight bit of warmth or even a tingle around your gums as the pouch begins to work its magic. If you start too high your nicotine pouch could feel like it's burning, making for a very uncomfortable experience.
It takes time for your mouth to get used to the Buccal absorption method. You can read more about how this works in our comprehensive nicotine pouch guide that covers everything you need to know.

Flavour Profile: Banana Ice - Extra Strong - 50mg/g
First impressions
Banana is usually a divisive flavour, so I was intrigued as Pablo Banana Ice flies off our shelves. This is one of the best tasting banana flavours I’ve ever tried. The flavour is rich, sweet and fruity. Incredibly moreish and the ice is a welcome addition that freshens things up nicely.
How long does the flavour take to develop?
The taste of chewy banana candy overwhelms your senses within seconds. A cool note of ice begins to mature slowly within the first 5 minutes, culminating in a cool and creamy banana candy flavour.
How long does it last for?
The flavour peaked at the 20 minute mark and remained flavourful for the full 30 minutes of use, getting sweeter as time went on.
Is the flavour accurate?
If you are looking for an authentic banana fruit flavour, you may be disappointed. As far as banana candy flavours go, this one is spot on. Pablo Banana Ice tastes exactly like a banana chew from your childhood, with light floral notes and a hint of caramel.
Bold banana candy flavourGood depth with caramel and floral notesLong lasting flavour
Reminiscent of banana candy not the fruit
If you are looking for a sweet flavour that you can enjoy all day then Banana Ice’s smooth sweetness hits all the right notes without being too sicklyFlavour Profile: Bubblegum - Extra Strong - 50mg/g
First impressions
This is a very fruity flavour with a tantalising medley of tropical fruit that sits on top of a sweet bubblegum candy. Heavy on the fruit flavour and missing some of the creaminess of a traditional bubblegum candy.
How long does the flavour take to develop?
Exotic fruit notes are released within the first few seconds of placing the pouch. Sweet notes of bubblegum candy build after the first 5 minutes.
How long does it last for?
Good flavour throughout the 30 minutes of use. The fruit begins to dissipate into a more recognisable bubblegum sweetness towards the end.
Is the flavour accurate?
Pablo Bubblegum is an accurate take on a very fruity bubblegum candy. It felt like it was lacking a bit in the bubblegum department, but this is still a punchy flavour.
Lots of fruit flavourBold notes of sweet candyEnduring flavourThe fruit overwhelms the bubblegum flavourAnyone who enjoys an exotic fruit punch will appreciate this flavour. The additional sweetness from the creamy candy will also please those with a sweet tooth.Flavour Profile: Ice Cold - Extra Strong - 30mg/g
First impressions
This is a lively mint with layers of fragrant spearmint and spicy peppermint. The flavour is refreshing, leafy and natural. Surprisingly very little to no ice. One of the most herbaceous mint flavours I’ve tasted.
How long does the flavour take to develop?
This flavour doesn't waste any time. Pablo Ice Cold releases a pungent burst of green mint right away. Initial sweet minty notes give way to peppery mint within 5 minutes of using the pouch.
How long does it last for?
Solid flavour throughout the 30 minute duration of the pouch.
Is the flavour accurate?
Imagine chewing mint leaves freshly picked from the garden. This is the best mint flavour I’ve tasted in any nicotine pouch. The name is a bit misleading though as there isn’t really any ice.
Tastes fresh and realGreat depth of flavourStrong and long lastingSome may be disappointed at the lack of iceIf you are looking for vibrant and flavour packed mint that tastes like the real thing, then Pablo Ice Cold is a must tryFlavour Profile: Kiwi - Extra Strong - 50mg/g
First impressions
Amazing level of accuracy. Pablo Kiwi tastes like biting down on a fresh slice of the real thing. A lovely tangy note wrapped up in the distinctive sweetness of exotic kiwi fruit. A good balance of sweet and sharp.
How long does the flavour take to develop?
Immediate flavour release starting with a bright tang that melds into a rich and luscious sweetness.
How long does it last for?
The flavour peaks around the 15 minute mark and remains decent right up to the end.
Is the flavour accurate?
Accuracy is the highlight of this flavour. I don’t know how Pablo are doing it but this Kiwi nicotine pouch is as authentic as it gets.
Mind blowing accuracyInstant flavour releaseLayers of sweet and tangy fruitMight be a bit too sweet for someLooking for a rich and lively fruit flavour that doesn’t taste like a candy knock off? Then treat yourself to this delicious burst of sweet and tangy exotic blissFlavour Profile: Mocca - Extra Strong - 50mg/g
First impressions
Sweet and milky with an earthy chocolate flavour that rises up and dances around a robust note of roasted coffee. Another winning flavour. This Pablo Mocha option does exactly what it says on the tin. Amazing depth of flavour!
How long does the flavour take to develop?
This is a moist pouch that releases the flavour right away. There is a creamy sweetness that gives way to the deep and smoky melding of chocolate and coffee.
How long does it last for?
The layers of flavour remain consistent throughout the use of the pouch with the coffee note dominating at the end.
Is the flavour accurate?
Couldn’t be more accurate if I was drinking a cup of freshly brewed hot chocolate and coffee topped with cream.
Rich flavour complexityAccurate taste of chocolate and coffeeWelcome note of fresh creamVery rich, might be too sweet for someCoffee and dessert lovers and anyone looking for sweetness and a good balance of earthy rich flavourFlavour Profile: Passion Fruit - Extra Strong - 50mg/g
First impressions
Pablo score again with an exactness that tastes astoundingly like the real deal. The distinctive passion fruit flavour, with its light floral sweetness and bitter undertone is immediately present and the overall experience is delightfully refreshing.
How long does the flavour take to develop?
The aromatic taste of Pablo Passion Fruit develops straight away. I noticed that the sweetness builds quite rapidly within the first few minutes.
How long does it last for?
The delicate harmony of sweet and sharp notes is mainly present during the first 10 minutes after which the overall flavour mellows into a topical sweetness that carries through for the duration of use.
Is the flavour accurate?
Absolutely. I’m amazed at how Pablo are able to pull this off, especially with a complex flavour like passion fruit. But they have - this is a phenomenal fruit flavour.
Outstanding accuracyLayered notes of sweet and bitterEnduring fruit flavour throughoutCan’t fault this oneAnyone who likes a good fruit flavour has to try Pablo Passion Fruit. If you’re a tropical fruit fan, you’ll go nuts for this flavour - it’s so true to lifeFlavour Profile: Pear - Extra Strong - 50mg/g
First impressions
This tastes like a very sweet pear with a definite candy tone reminiscent of pear drops. It is an interesting combination. There is a taste of authentic pear wrapped up in a moreishly sweet hard boiled candy. Delicious.
How long does the flavour take to develop?
As this is a moist pouch, the flavour was instantaneous. At first there is the flavour of very ripe pears, this is followed by a delicious hard candy note.
How long does it last for?
Pablo Pear delivers excellent flavour throughout the lifespan of the pouch.
Is the flavour accurate?
There is definitely an authentic pear fruit flavour that is very sweet. Pablo seem to have mixed in another candy note that tastes just like sweet shop hard boiled pear candy as well. Both flavours compliment each other really well.
Accurate pear fruit flavourAddition of pear drops candy noteVery sweetFans of sweet ripe fruit with an even sweeter candy twist will get a kick out of Pablo PearFlavour Profile: Red - Extra Strong - 30mg/g
First impressions
This is a hot one. Pablo Red seems to have combined a hot chili pepper with spearmint. There is no flavour from the chili, just the heat. This hotness combined with the high amount of nicotine felt too uncomfortable for me personally. The spearmint is on point, but the heat is intense
How long does the flavour take to develop?
The heat from the chili is released within seconds and the mint creeps in behind it.
How long does it last for?
I couldn’t keep this pouch in for long to be honest, so I’m not really sure how long the heat would last for. Based on the previous flavours, I’d guess that it would be pretty consistent.
Is the flavour accurate?
It’s definitely hot and minty. I like the accurate representation of spearmint, which had a good amount of fresh sweetness. The chili was pure heat and could have benefitted from more flavour.
Good mint flavourUncomfortably hotNo flavour from the chiliI can’t imagine someone using these all day long, but if you are a heat seeker or hot sauce junkie, then this might just be the one for youFlavour Profile: Strawberry Lychee - Extra Strong - 50mg/g
First impressions
A welcome respite from the heat, or so I thought. Strawberry Lychee is a strange one. Most of the pouches I’ve tried so far have been single note flavours. I was expecting a balance of distinctive notes, but they seem to meld together so much that I’m not sure what I’m tasting.
How long does the flavour take to develop?
It doesn’t really. I never noticed either the strawberry or lychee develop beyond something sweet and vaguely fruity.
How long does it last for?
This underwhelming flavour continues for the duration of the pouch.
Is the flavour accurate?
A disappointment is what it is. Pablo have done really well so far and I feel like they lost interest in this one, and so did I.
Mildly sweet and fruityLacking bold strawberry and lychee flavourNo distinction between the flavourBlandIf you want a flavour that doesn’t overwhelm you with sweetness then this mild offering could be an all day choiceFlavour Profile: Strawberry Cheesecake - Extra Strong - 50mg/g
First impressions
This is a delicious creamy strawberry flavour that isn’t too rich or overly sweet. You get a milky note at first, with the strawberry following shortly afterwards. There is also a slight tartness that brings an authenticity to this dessert flavour.
How long does the flavour take to develop?
The full flavour of Pablo Strawberry Cheesecake develops at the 5 minute mark into a blend of smooth cream laced with sweet strawberries and a very slight hint of sourness.
How long does it last for?
The flavour peaks at the 20 minute mark and remains sweet and pleasant throughout the duration.
Is the flavour accurate?
Even though this is a dessert flavour, it isn’t overly rich. The fruit and cream combo work really well together and the sour note adds authenticity to the cheesecake favour. The only thing that is missing is the biscuit base.
Smooth and creamy flavourGood amount of sweet berry fruitHint of sharp cheesecakeMissing the biscuit baseIf you like creamy flavours mixed with sweet fruit then you’ll find Pablo Strawberry Cheesecake a moreish delight that isn’t overly heavyWhat are the ingredients in Pablo nicotine pouches?
Pablo nicotine pouches contain 7 ingredients. They are food grade substances commonly used in food and cosmetics. Organic cellulose is the filler substrate used to absorb and release the flavourings and nicotine.
Water is added along with a humectant to keep the pouches moist, and pH adjusters are used to align the pouches with the pH in your mouth. This benefits the release and absorption rate of the flavourings and nicotine. Finally, a preservative is added to keep the pouches fresh.
How to store Pablo nicotine pouches to maintain flavour
Store your Pablo nicotine pouches in a cool dry place, out of direct sunlight to ensure you get the best out of them. A pocket or a bag is ideal as you can have then ready whenever you need them.
Final thoughts on Pablo nicotine pouches
Accuracy has been the stand out feature of these Pablo nicotine pouches. The fruit flavours, for the most part, are unbelievably authentic, and Pablo’s ability to capture the true essence of real fruit is very impressive. Likewise, the candy and dessert flavours tasted like the real thing without being excessively rich or heavy.
That being said, these Pablo pouches contain a very high amount of nicotine and as mentioned earlier, if you are not used to nicotine pouches, then you may wish to consider using a brand that offers lower strengths at first.
