At 17mg of nicotine per pouch and 24mg/g, this sits firmly in the medium-to-strong range. It's not a beginner's pouch, and it's not pretending to be. The Gold Edition is aimed at experienced nicotine users who want a step up from standard strength without going into the extreme territory that some of Pablo's other lines occupy. The nicotine release is powerful and consistent — you feel it quickly, and it stays with you throughout the session without dropping off suddenly.

The Tropical Punch flavour is where this pouch really differentiates itself. In a category dominated by mint and menthol options, a well-executed tropical flavour stands out. It's vibrant and fruity — think a blend of exotic fruits that hits with sweetness upfront and settles into a smooth, pleasant finish. It doesn't clash with the nicotine strength; instead, the two elements work together in a way that makes the overall experience feel more complete than a single-note flavour typically would.
