I’ve tried pretty much every nicotine pouch brand out there—from ZYN to On! to Rogue—and honestly, I wasn’t expecting anything new from ALP.
But then I got my hands on their Mountain Wintergreen and Wintergreen flavors… and boom, I was hooked.
This isn’t just another pouch brand. ALP’s doing things differently—and better. And fun fact: it’s owned by Tucker Carlson. And RFK Jnr has been seen using them.
Here’s my full review after using them daily for the last few weeks, covering everything from flavor, moisture, strength, and yeah—even those fancy tins.
Are ALP Pouches Any Good? Let’s Find Out…
First Impressions: Moist, Soft, & Zero Powder Mess
Right out of the gate, ALP pouches look and feel premium. Each tin gives you 20 pouches (yes, twenty!), which is already a big win compared to ZYN’s 15-per-can deal.
But the real magic?
These things come moist and juicy straight from the tin. No dry, dusty powder like you get with other brands.
You don’t need to kneed the pouch or prep it like it’s a microwave dinner.
They’re soft, they sit right in the lip without any irritation, and they stay that way the entire session.
Flavor Breakdown: Wintergreen Heaven & Fruity Surprises
Let’s get into the fun part—the flavors.
🏔️ Mountain Wintergreen
My undisputed favorite.
This is wintergreen done right. It’s strong, clean, and icy—but not in an over-the-top mouth-numbing way.
Think of it like stepping outside on a crisp morning in the Rockies. The flavor doesn’t fade halfway through like ZYN does either.
I’ve had pouches last over three hours with this one. The 6mg hits just right for me, but the 9mg will put some pep in your step if that’s what you’re after.
❄️ Chilled Mint
If Mountain Wintergreen is the rugged outdoorsman, Chilled Mint is its cool, polished cousin.
It’s your classic peppermint flavor—sharp, clean, and refreshing. It’s got that satisfying tingle too. I switch to this when I want something smoother and a little less earthy.
Perfect midday or post-coffee pouch.
🍃 Refreshing Chill
This one’s the mellowest of the bunch. It’s more spearmint than peppermint, with a gum-like flavor that hangs around for hours.
If you’re a fan of Doublemint or Wrigley’s vibe, this is your jam. It’s not aggressive—it’s chill, just like the name says.
Good for longer sessions or if you’re easing into higher nicotine strengths.
🍍 Tropical Fruit
Not gonna lie, I didn’t expect to like this one… but I do. It tastes like Juicy Fruit gum had a nicotine-fueled glow-up.
It’s got a candy-like sweetness without being overbearing, and somehow manages to be refreshing at the same time.
It’s the wildcard of the lineup, and great if you want to break away from all things mint.
Nicotine Strengths: 3mg, 6mg, 9mg – Pick Your Ride
ALP pouches come in three strengths:
- 3mg: Great for all-day use or first-time users
- 6mg: The sweet spot for me—enough kick without overwhelming
- 9mg: Strap in. This one will wake you up faster than a double espresso
No matter the strength, the delivery is smooth. No throat burn, no hiccups, no need to spit. Just clean, steady nicotine release.
Optional Extras: Premium, Aluminium Travel Tins
ALP offers optional aluminum travel tins, and while you absolutely don’t need one, they’re hard not to love.
They’re made from solid brushed aluminum and come in at $29.99 for the standard version or $89.99 for the premium click-lock edition (aka the Cadillac of nicotine pouch containers).
The pricier one has this ultra-satisfying locking mechanism—quiet, smooth, and perfect for anyone who’s ever winced at the ZYN “snap” mid-meeting or while rocking a sleeping baby.
They’re also reusable, feel weighty in the hand, and yeah… I may have sat there mindlessly opening and closing mine like it was a fidget toy. You’ve been warned.
Multi-Pack Deals: The Real Money Saver
If you’re the kind of person who wants to try everything—or just doesn’t want to run out mid-week—the ALP Combo Pack is the move.
For $79.99, you get 20 tins total: that’s 5 tins each of all four flavors (Mountain Wintergreen, Chilled Mint, Refreshing Chill, and Tropical Fruit). It’s like the nicotine pouch sampler platter—but with actual value.
Even better? You save 20% compared to buying them all individually.
No gimmicks, no weird subscription traps—just a straight-up deal for people who know what they like (or want to find out).
Real Talk: What Makes ALP Different?
Here’s why I made the switch and haven’t looked back:
- Flavor that lasts – like, absurdly long
- 20 pouches per can – more bang for your buck
- Moist and ready to go – no powder leaks, no dry hits
- American-made – and proud of it
- Strong but smooth – no gut-punch buzz, just a clean lift
Wrapping Up…
If you’re tired of weak flavors, dry pouches, and overpriced tins, ALP might just be your new go-to.
The Mountain Wintergreen flavor is hands-down the best I’ve tried, and Chilled Mint comes in as a close second.
Plus, the 20-pouch count and killer value in their multipacks make these a no-brainer if you use nicotine daily.
Whether you’re quitting dip, dropping cigs, or just looking for a more discreet way to get your fix, ALP gets it right across the board.
FAQs
Q: How long does the flavor last?
Anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hours depending on the flavor. Mountain Wintergreen seems to last the longest for me.
Q: Do the pouches leak?
Nope. They’re moist but well-sealed. Way better than the powdery mess you get with other brands.
Q: What’s the best nicotine strength to start with?
If you’re new to pouches, start with 3mg. If you’re coming from dip or strong cigs, 6mg or even 9mg will feel just right.
Q: Can I customize a multi-pack?
Not yet—but fingers crossed it’s coming. You currently get a preset mix.
