What are Pablo Nicotine Pouches?
Pablo is a brand that has been around since the mid-2020s. Those in the know colloquially know it as Pablo snus. For clarification, whether you have come to hear about Pablo as snus or nicotine pouches, both are the same thing. Traditional Swedish snus contains tobacco, and nicotine pouches do not. However, most of the world referred to both products as snus, which can confuse new users.
Pablo nicotine pouches' original release was with the Ice Cold flavor, a minty, sharp nicotine pouch with up to 50mg of nicotine. The original release of Pablo divided many of the then-snus users due to the glamorisation of Pablo Escobar. The packaging flaunted the Columbian drug lord's face, with artefacts of his criminal empire pictured. Pablo Escobar snus was announced to the world, and with it, its intention to take over.
Subsequent lines of Pablo have been more innocuous in their marketing approach. Pablo Exclusive and Pablo Gold, are smart releases by NGP Empire, the brand manufacturers. The former shares the same strength level as the original Ice Cold at 50mg. The latter caters to a more mild user at 17mg, aligned with growing market demand in key markets. All the lines maintain an exceptionally well-manufactured pouch with accurate and enticing flavor profiles.

How to use Pablo Nicotine Pouches (in actuality)
There is more to using nicotine pouches than just putting one in your mouth! The simple step-by-step guides that explain how to put one in can be patronising rhetoric for some. So, assuming you know that you simply need to pop a Pablo pouch between your gum and upper lip, what next? Well, Pablo pouches have different flavors, pouch compositions, and strengths. Using them can be a different experience depending on various compositional and physiological factors.
How flavors effect PabloÂ
In the industry, we know that the perceived strength of a nicotine pouch can defy the actual strength. Sometimes a simple flavor change can largely affect the perceived strength of the nicotine. A Pablo Mocca vs a Pablo Frosted Ice has two completely different perceived strength uptakes. The Mocca seems to smoothly disperse nicotine, which some prefer, as the nicotine has a slower uptake time. Conversely, the Frosted Ice seems to charge nicotine sharply into the system after initial load. Choosing the right flavor for your preference of nicotine uptake can require trial and error.
Pouch composition
While some manufacturers make their pouches with the same paper wrapping, Pablo uses different papers for different flavors. Pouch consistencies, therefore, are different per flavor, with only some sharing the same compositional makeup. Pouch composition can also lend itself to the effects of perceived strength. Some pouches are drier, some have a more moist composition, and both can impact the experience. Typically, drier pouches can feel a little stronger.
Â
Physiological Variables
An overlooked factor in using Pablo nicotine pouches is your own physiological state at the time of using them. For example, typically using nicotine pouches when you first wake up can have a much different nicotine uptake time than later in the day. Being dehydrated, that naturally happens through the night, can cause nicotine to hit faster and more aggressively. There is no difference in Pablo, the nicotine is capable of hitting faster depending on your hydration level. If the nicotine becomes overbearing from a Pablo product, drinking water can negate the effect pretty quickly.
Mind state when using nicotine pouches can also affect the type of experience. Scientific studies cite nicotine’s ability to enhance focus during focus periods. Whether you are using nicotine to enhance focus or relax, the time and environment will be factors to consider.

What do Pablo Nicotine Pouches feel like?
Pablo is one of the brands that perform differently between flavors and strengths. The 50mg pouches are expected to have a considerable nicotine uptake time, given the strength. And, it does, in some products. However, in some of the 50mg Pablo nicotine pouches, you will find a comparable experience with a lighter product. As a general rule of thumb, using mint or menthol flavors will serve a more accurate representation of nicotine strength. Flavors can compound the expected strength negatively or positively. Pablo pouches are no different.

How Does Pablo Compare to Vaping or Smoking?
With so much of the world now considering transitioning from vaping or smoking to pouches, we are often asked this question. As one of the most popular brands in the world, Pablo is often considered a transitional product. While the brand can be viable for some to quit smoking or vaping, it is important to match it with a similar product.
Exposure to nicotine has a heavy impact on the performance of nicotine pouches in general. Both physiological factors and tolerance to nicotine impact the speed of nicotine delivery. So, for frequent smokers or vapers, the uptake time of nicotine from their current products is very quick. Smoking or vaping introduces nicotine to the body through the lungs, which is much faster than nicotine pouches. Pablo nicotine pouches use the buccal mucosa, the inner lining of the mouth. So, while many transitional vapers or smokers would consider a product at a similar strength level, the perceived strength would not match expected performance. We have found this many times when our customers buy Pablo nicotine pouches. The Gold Pablo, that is 17mg, mirrors the upper echelons of vaping strengths. But, it is not a reflective product regarding perceived strength or nicotine uptake time, a 50mg Pablo would be better suited.
Who Should use Pablo
Thanks to the different strength levels, Pablo can be enjoyed by a varied audience. The Pablo Gold is perfectly suited to a new user or a user who prefers a more mild nicotine level, whereas the Pablo Exclusive, at 50mg, could be overbearing for that particular user. One thing is for sure: the brand benefits from expert craftsmanship from NGP Empire, coupled with brilliant representative flavors.
