Buy Pablo Nicotine Pouches in New Zealand
Pablo is the strongest nicotine pouch brand available in New Zealand, manufactured by NGP Empire and stocked by Snusdaddy across five distinct strength tiers: Pablo Mini (15mg), Pablo Gold Edition (17mg), Pablo Dry (18mg), Pablo Super Strong (24mg), and Pablo Exclusive 50mg/g (30mg per pouch). With 46 active varieties spanning mint, fruit, coffee, and specialty flavours, Pablo offers the widest selection in the ultra-strong category. All Pablo products are 100% tobacco-free and legal to import into New Zealand for personal use under the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990.
"Tried Pablo Exclusive Frosted Ice. Nothing else compares for strength. Shipping to Dunedin was 6 days." – Marcus T., verified Snusdaddy customer, Dunedin.
CRITICAL WARNING: Pablo products start at 15mg and reach 30mg nicotine per pouch – up to 5× stronger than most regular nicotine pouches. For context, a standard ZYN is 3–6mg, while Pablo Exclusive reaches 30mg – that's 10× the nicotine of a beginner-level pouch. Pablo Super Strong (24mg) and Pablo Exclusive (30mg) are intended exclusively for users with very high established nicotine tolerance (those already comfortable with 12mg+ products). Not recommended for beginners, non-nicotine users, people under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those with cardiovascular conditions. Nicotine is highly addictive. Always use responsibly and keep out of reach of children and pets.
Understanding Pablo Nicotine Strengths – Critical Information
Pablo uses five completely different product lines, each with distinct nicotine levels. Getting this right is essential – using the wrong strength tier can cause severe nicotine sickness.
| Pablo Line | Nicotine Per Pouch | Recommended For | Team Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pablo Mini | 15mg | Experienced users stepping up from strong products | Only one variety (Ice Cold). A reasonable entry point to Pablo for users already comfortable with 10–12mg pouches. |
| Pablo Gold Edition | 17mg | High-tolerance users | 9 flavour varieties. Stronger than most "extra strong" competitors. Our team found Gold Edition hits harder than ZYN Extra Strong (16mg) despite the similar mg level. |
| Pablo Dry | 18mg | High-tolerance users preferring low-drip format | Reduced moisture content for less drip. 3 varieties. Slightly stronger than Gold Edition with a drier feel under the lip. |
| Pablo Super Strong | 24mg | Expert-level tolerance only | Classic Pablo Ice Cold and Pablo Red sit here. 24mg is double most "strong" brands. Noticeable kick within 30–60 seconds. |
| Pablo Exclusive 50mg/g | 30mg per pouch | Extreme tolerance only – approach with caution | The "50mg" refers to 50mg per gram of product weight, which equals 30mg per individual pouch. This is the strongest commercially available nicotine pouch category in New Zealand. 29 flavour varieties. |
Why "Exclusive 50mg"? The Pablo Exclusive line is labelled "50mg" because it contains 50 milligrams of nicotine per gram of total product. Since each pouch weighs approximately 0.6g, this translates to 30mg nicotine per pouch. This is industry-standard labelling (mg/g) but frequently misunderstood – Pablo Exclusive pouches deliver 30mg, not 50mg, per pouch. That's still the highest strength available in the commercial nicotine pouch market.
Expert tip: Even users who comfortably handle ZYN Extra Strong (16mg) or VELO Strong (10–12mg) report Pablo hits harder and faster than comparable mg levels from other brands. Our team attributes this to Pablo's moisture level and nicotine salt formulation, which accelerates absorption. If you're trying Pablo for the first time, start with Pablo Mini (15mg) or Pablo Gold Edition (17mg) – not Super Strong or Exclusive. You can always step up; stepping down from nicotine overdose is unpleasant.
Pablo's Best-Selling Flavours for New Zealand
Pablo Super Strong (24mg) – The Flagship Classics
These are the products that built Pablo's reputation. At 24mg, they deliver double the nicotine of most "strong" brands with faster onset than any competitor.
- Pablo Ice Cold Super Strong (24mg) – The flagship. Intense peppermint with extreme cooling that lasts the full 30–40 minute session. Our most-sold Pablo product in New Zealand. If you only try one Pablo variety, this is it. ⭐ Staff pick for mint lovers.
- Pablo X Ice Cold Super Strong (24mg) – Even more intense cooling than standard Ice Cold. Our team found the "X" version noticeably sharper in the first 5 minutes before settling into sustained cold.
- Pablo Red Super Strong (24mg) – Fruity berry profile with subtle spice. Less sweet than most fruit pouches – a good rotation option for users tired of straight mint. ⭐ Staff pick for fruit preference.
Pablo Gold Edition (17mg) – High Strength, Wide Variety
9 varieties at 17mg per pouch. These sit just above most brands' "extra strong" tier and offer Pablo's flavour range at a marginally lower strength than Super Strong. Browse our full extra strong range for all high-strength options.
- Pablo Gold Edition Frosted Ice (17mg) – Smooth menthol with sustained cooling. Our team found it more comfortable for extended sessions than the 24mg Ice Cold.
- Pablo Gold Edition Kiwi (17mg) – Tangy kiwi fruit. One of the few fruit options below 24mg in Pablo's range.
- Pablo Gold Edition Passion Fruit (17mg) – Tropical and sweet. Good rotation alongside mint varieties.
- Pablo Gold Edition Dark Cherry (17mg) – Deep cherry profile at high strength. Popular with users who prefer darker fruit over tropical.
Pablo Exclusive 50mg/g (30mg per pouch) – Maximum Strength
29 varieties in the Exclusive line, all delivering 30mg per pouch. These are for expert-level users only. Browse our full ultra strong range for all extreme-strength options.
Mint & Cooling:
- Pablo Exclusive Frosted Ice (30mg) – Smooth menthol at maximum strength. Our team found the cooling effect more sustained and less sharp than the 24mg Ice Cold, making it surprisingly comfortable at 30mg. ⭐ Staff pick for Exclusive first-timers.
- Pablo Exclusive Frosted Mint (30mg) – Similar to Frosted Ice but with a greener, more herbal mint profile.
- Pablo Exclusive Green Mint (30mg) – Spearmint-forward rather than peppermint. Milder cooling, more flavour complexity.
- Pablo Exclusive Blue Mint (30mg) – The coldest of Pablo's Exclusive mint range. Comparable to ice-technology products from ZYN or VELO but at double the nicotine.
Fruit & Specialty:
- Pablo Exclusive Strawberry Cheesecake (30mg) – Creamy strawberry with rich dessert notes. Unique in the ultra-strong category – most 30mg products are mint-dominant. Popular with users seeking something genuinely different.
- Pablo Exclusive Mango Ice (30mg) – Tropical mango with cooling finish. Sweet but not candy-like. Our team's pick for fruit enthusiasts at extreme strength.
- Pablo Exclusive Cappuccino (30mg) – Coffee-forward with mild sweetness. Works well as an after-meal option. One of the few coffee profiles available at 30mg.
- Pablo Exclusive Cherry Cola (30mg) – Cola with dark cherry notes. Distinctly different from standard fruit profiles.
- Pablo Exclusive Bubblegum (30mg) – Sweet, candy-style bubblegum. Polarizing – users either love it or find it too sweet at this strength.
Pro tip – Trying Pablo Exclusive for the first time: Place the pouch gently under your upper lip without pressing it hard against the gum. You'll feel the nicotine effect within 30–60 seconds – significantly faster than regular-strength pouches. If you experience dizziness, nausea, rapid heartbeat, or cold sweats, remove the pouch immediately and rinse your mouth with water. These are signs of nicotine overdose. Do not use more than 2–3 Pablo Exclusive pouches in a 24-hour period until you've established your tolerance. Our team strongly recommends keeping a Pablo Gold Edition (17mg) or Pablo Mini (15mg) variety on hand for situations where you want the ritual without extreme strength.
Pablo Dry (18mg) – Low-Drip High Strength
3 varieties at 18mg with reduced moisture content. Pablo Dry offers slower nicotine release and significantly less drip than standard pouches, making it ideal for users who find wet-format pouches uncomfortable or who want extended sessions without excess saliva production. The drier format also means longer shelf life once opened.
- Pablo Dry Ice Cold (18mg) – Classic Ice Cold cooling at 18mg in a dry format. Our team found it more comfortable for 30+ minute sessions than the moister Super Strong version.
- Pablo Dry X-Ice Cold (18mg) – Intensified cooling, dry format.
- Pablo Dry Red (18mg) – Berry and spice, dry format.

Pablo vs Other Ultra-Strong Brands
How does Pablo compare to Siberia, Killa, and other high-strength competitors?
| Brand | Strength Range | What It's Known For |
|---|---|---|
| Pablo | 15mg to 30mg per pouch | Widest flavour range in the ultra-strong category. 5 distinct strength tiers. |
| Siberia | 20mg to 43mg per pouch | Pure strength focus. Goes higher than Pablo but with limited flavours – mostly mint and tobacco. |
| Killa | 12mg to 20mg per pouch | Good stepping stone before Pablo. Wide flavour variety at strong (not extreme) levels. |
| ZYN | 1.5mg to 20mg per pouch | Mainstream brand. Not comparable to Pablo for strength seekers. |
Our team's take: Pablo offers the best balance between extreme strength and flavour variety. Siberia goes higher (43mg) but with only 3–4 flavour options. If you're chasing maximum nicotine delivery regardless of flavour, Siberia wins. If you want high strength (24mg–30mg) with genuine flavour choice, Pablo is unmatched.

Pablo Nicotine Pouches NZ – FAQs
How long does a Pablo pouch last during use?
Pablo pouches typically last 20–40 minutes per session, with nicotine effect felt within 30–60 seconds of placement. Session duration depends on the strength tier (15mg to 30mg), individual tolerance, and saliva production. Remove the pouch when the flavour fades or you've reached your desired nicotine delivery. Our team found Pablo Super Strong (24mg) and Exclusive (30mg) sessions shorter than regular-strength pouches – most users remove them at the 15–25 minute mark.
How does Pablo compare to cigarettes for nicotine delivery?
Pablo delivers significantly more bioavailable nicotine than cigarettes. A typical cigarette contains 10–12mg nicotine but smokers absorb only 1–2mg per cigarette. Pablo pouches have approximately 30% absorption efficiency through oral mucosa. This means: Pablo Mini 15mg ≈ 4–5 cigarettes, Pablo Gold Edition 17mg ≈ 5–6 cigarettes, Pablo Super Strong 24mg ≈ 7–10 cigarettes, Pablo Exclusive 30mg ≈ 9–15 cigarettes. Importantly, Pablo delivers no smoke, tar, carbon monoxide, or combustion byproducts.
Can I mix Pablo strength tiers in a bulk order?
Yes. Bulk discounts apply to your total order quantity regardless of which Pablo products or strength tiers you choose. 100 cans mixed across Pablo Mini, Gold Edition, Super Strong, and Exclusive still qualifies for 16% off. There's no requirement to order multiples of the same product.
What's the difference between Pablo Gold Edition and Pablo Dry?
Pablo Gold Edition (17mg) offers 9 flavour varieties at high strength. Pablo Dry (18mg) offers 3 varieties at slightly higher strength with reduced moisture content for less drip. Our team found Pablo Dry more comfortable for extended sessions if you're sensitive to drip, while Pablo Gold Edition offers wider flavour choice at marginally lower strength.
Do Pablo pouches stain teeth?
No. Pablo uses all-white pouch material without tobacco plant content, so they do not cause the brown staining associated with traditional snus or chewing tobacco. However, nicotine reduces saliva production, which may increase cavity risk over time. Rinse your mouth after sessions and maintain regular dental care.
How do I read the best-before date on Pablo cans?
Pablo uses the European date format: DD/MM/YYYY. A can marked "15/09/2026" expires on the 15th of September 2026 – not the 9th of May. Unopened Pablo cans maintain full freshness for 12–18 months from production when stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, Pablo Exclusive and Pablo Dry varieties stay fresh 2–3 weeks due to their lower moisture content compared to regular pouches.
How long does Pablo delivery to New Zealand take?
UPS Express and UPS Saver typically deliver in 5–8 working days to New Zealand. PostNord standard takes 10–15 working days. All options include tracking. Rural and South Island addresses may take 1–2 additional days via NZ Post for final delivery.
Nicotine is a highly addictive substance. Pablo products range from 15mg to 30mg per pouch – among the strongest nicotine delivery systems commercially available. Pablo Super Strong (24mg) and Pablo Exclusive (30mg) are intended for users with very high established tolerance only. Use with extreme caution. Must be 18+ to purchase. Not for sale to minors.
