About Consumer Brands International
One Manufacturer, Three Distinct Brands
Rather than building one brand and extending it upwards, CBI created three separate identities — each targeting a different user and strength requirement. SYX for newcomers and everyday users. GOAT for the strong-to-extra-strong segment with a flavour-first philosophy. DOPE for users who want to push to the extreme end of the spectrum.
The result is a portfolio covering almost every point on the nicotine strength ladder — from 2.8 mg/pouch entry-level right through to 35 mg/pouch extreme territory — while maintaining consistent all-white quality and tobacco-free construction across the board.
Manufacturing Standards
Every CBI pouch — regardless of brand — uses pharmaceutical-grade nicotine in a plant-based cellulose fibre base. No tobacco leaf. No tobacco-derived residue. The slim all-white format is consistent across all three brands, ensuring a discreet, odourless experience with no staining on teeth or gums.
The Three CBI Brands Available in the UK
| Brand | Strength range | Tiers | Flavour approach | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SYX | 2.8–11.5 mg/pouch | 3 mg · 6 mg · 12 mg · 20 mg | Wide — mint, fruit, berry, cola | Newcomers and everyday users |
| GOAT | 8.4–20 mg/pouch | #12 · #16 · #28 | Flavour-first — mint, fruit, coffee, dessert | Experienced users stepping up from everyday brands |
| DOPE | 11.2–35 mg/pouch | Strong · Crazy Strong · #50 | Mint and fruit — focused on intensity | Power users who want extreme nicotine delivery |
SYX — The Everyday CBI Brand
SYX is CBI's entry-level and everyday range, covering 2.8 mg/pouch at the mild end through to 11.5 mg/pouch at the strong end. With over 20 variants across four strength tiers, SYX has the broadest flavour selection in the CBI portfolio — Spearmint, Blueberry, Wintergreen, Peppermint, Tropical, Icy Cola, Wild Cherry, Freeze, Banana Ice, Apple Kiwi, Forest Fruit and more. The natural starting point for users new to CBI products, and a reliable all-day choice for regular pouch users.
GOAT — The Flagship CBI Brand
GOAT sits in the strong-to-extra-strong segment at 8.4–20 mg/pouch across three tiers (#12, #16, #28). What distinguishes it is flavour breadth at #16 — ten variants including Cappuccino, Salty Caramel, and Apple Mint alongside the mint and fruit options. For users who've outgrown everyday brands and want genuine strength with flavour complexity, GOAT #16 is the flagship.
DOPE — The Extreme CBI Brand
DOPE pushes into territory that GOAT deliberately doesn't occupy. The Strong tier (11.2 mg/pouch) overlaps with GOAT's lower end, but DOPE Crazy Strong (20–21 mg/pouch) and the #50 tier (35 mg/pouch) are in a different league entirely. At 35 mg/pouch, DOPE #50 is among the strongest nicotine pouches available to UK buyers — strictly for experienced users with an established tolerance. Flavours include Freeze, Ice Cool, Ice Mango, Lime Smash, Blueberry, Cherry Ice, Icy Mint, and Icy Cola.
