What is Garant?

GARANT (formerly known as Grant) is an Estonian nicotine brand manufactured by UAB Kordula in Lithuania. The brand offers tobacco-free nicotine pouches and nicotine strips, and is known for its high-strength options, generous pouch counts per can, and a clearly structured product range spanning light through to ultra-strong tiers.

GARANT is a tobacco-free nicotine brand that originated in Estonia and is distributed by Allium EST OÜ. Originally launched under the name Grant, the brand underwent a full rebrand to GARANT while retaining its core product qualities: slim all-white pouches with a minimal-drip plant-fibre formula, consistent nicotine delivery, and a focus on the high-strength segment of the market. The rebrand also marked a broader expansion of the product range, including the introduction of structured product lines covering light, medium, strong, extra-strong, and ultra-strong tiers — as well as the addition of nicotine strips as a second format.

Manufacturing is handled by UAB Kordula, a Lithuanian contract manufacturer operating under ISO 9001:2015 certified production standards. This certification reflects compliance with stringent EU quality management requirements and ensures consistency across all GARANT product lines. The brand's importer and distributor is Allium EST OÜ, a registered Estonian entity.

GARANT's defining commercial proposition is value density: 27 pouches per can versus the typical 20–24 found with most competitors, and 66 strips per pack versus the 55 typical of comparable strip brands. Across Europe, this has helped position GARANT as a cost-efficient option for daily high-strength users, particularly in growth markets including the UK, Poland, the Czech Republic, and the Baltic states.

GARANT covers one of the widest strength ranges of any single nicotine pouch brand, from 4 mg per pouch (8 mg/g) in the Classic Light tier up to approximately 30–35 mg per pouch (70 mg/g) in the Extreme Freeze variant. The three main product lines are Classic, Limited Edition, and Extreme Edition.

Classic Line (4 mg – 17.5 mg per pouch)

Fresh Mint — A clean, balanced mint with a mild cooling note. Available at light (4 mg) and medium (8 mg) strengths — GARANT's most accessible flavour.

Ice Peach — A fruity peach profile with a cool finish. One of the brand's most range-spanning flavours, available across Classic, Limited Edition, and Extreme Edition tiers.

Wild Berry — A forest berry blend with rounded sweetness, available at 13 mg in the Classic tier.

Ice Cool — Crisp peppermint with a pronounced arctic menthol effect at 17.5 mg (35 mg/g). Positioned as one of the stronger standard-line options.

Limited Edition (8 mg – 22 mg per pouch)

Ice Peach Limited Edition — The same juicy peach profile at an elevated 10 mg strength, bridging Classic and Extreme.

This line also includes rotating seasonal and market-specific flavours at mid-to-high strengths, typically in the 8–22 mg per pouch range.

Extreme Edition (25 mg per pouch / 50 mg/g)

Extreme (Mint) — The flagship GARANT product. Direct, intense mint with no added sweetener embellishment.

Fresh Mint Extreme — A slightly softer mint with mild chewing-gum sweetness at 25 mg.

Ice Cool Extreme — Icy peppermint at 25 mg (50 mg/g) — a step up in strength from the standard Ice Cool.

Cherry Extreme — Sweet cherry flavour at 25 mg (50 mg/g). A fruity alternative within the Extreme tier.

Ice Peach Extreme — Ripe peach with a cooling icy finish at 25 mg (50 mg/g).

Ice Blueberry Extreme — Sweet blueberry with a crisp icy edge at 25 mg (50 mg/g).

Extreme Freeze (≈30–35 mg per pouch / 70 mg/g)

Extreme Freeze — GARANT's highest-strength product. An intense icy menthol pouch at 70 mg/g, delivering approximately 30–35 mg of nicotine per pouch. Comes in 27 slim pouches per can. This variant is intended exclusively for users with a very high established nicotine tolerance and sits above the standard Extreme Edition in both strength and intensity.

GARANT strips are available in two strengths, giving users a choice between moderate and strong nicotine delivery:

Ice Cool — 7 mg per strip — An icy mint profile at a moderate 7 mg strength. A good choice for users transitioning from pouches to strips, or those who prefer a controlled, refreshing strip experience for all-day use.

Extreme — 11 mg per strip — The same format at 11 mg, designed for users who want stronger nicotine delivery in the strip format. No dominant flavouring — focused on a clean, intense nicotine hit.

GARANT pouches use an all-white, tobacco-free format. The filling is based on plant-derived fibres (eucalyptus and pine fibre) rather than tobacco leaf or stem. Strips use a thin cellulose carrier instead of a fibre-filled pouch. Typical ingredients across both formats include:

• Plant-based fibres (pouches) / cellulose carrier (strips)
• Water
• Flavorings
• Sweeteners (e.g. acesulfame K)
• Salt
• Nicotine

The minimal-drip formulation in the pouches is a deliberate design choice: the plant-fibre filling is engineered to release nicotine and flavour without excess moisture, resulting in a drier, more controlled experience. Because all formats are tobacco-free and all-white, they do not cause the tooth discoloration associated with traditional snus. GARANT recommends storing cans and strip packs in a cool, dry place.

How do you use GARANT strips?

1. Take a strip from the pack and place it under your upper lip.
2. Nicotine is absorbed quickly through the oral mucosa — expect to feel the effect within 5–10 minutes.
3. Leave the strip in place for up to 30 minutes.
4. Dispose of the used strip responsibly — strips should not be swallowed.
