Review Updated: 21 February 2021
If you've read my blog long, you know I'm not a nicotine pouch user; I'm a snus guy. However, if I ever quit snus (for some strange reason) and switched to nicotine pouches, this would be a product that I would use full time. Now, this is not the same as
Zyn Citrus sold in the US; that one is a more mini/dry type. This is a Swedish market product that is slim and moist. If you're in the US and want to try it, the SnusMe.com e-store
sells it to the US. The
flavor description says, "
ZYN Slim Citrus illuminates its existence with its sunny, healthy and refreshing taste of lemon, lime and a little orange zest." This product comes in a 16.8 gram can with 0.8 gram portions. Doing some math, it looks like a can contains 21 portions. The nicotine content is 12mg/g (1.2%), which breaks down to 9.6mg/portion.
If you're not familiar with Zyn, here's a look inside the pouch. Again, this is a moist version, and not the same as the dry version sold in the US. Zyn is completely tobacco free, and contains nicotine, vegetable fiber and cellulose powder (E-460). While it may look like other white tobacco products, it doesn't actually contain tobacco. Everything else about it is similar to snus - the can, the portions, the way it feels in the lip, and how the nicotine releases. The only difference is the lack of tobacco in this one.
When I open the can, the aroma is a really nice mix of lemon and lime. It's not overly sweet, and has a little tartness to the smell. The portions are soft, slim, and feel comfortable in the lip, much like regular snus does. The taste is where this one really shines. It's a great lemon taste with hints of lime. It doesn't taste too sweet, which I really like about this one. It's also not overly tart. As the product description says, it's very refreshing. Larry from
SnusCENTRAL said the taste reminds him of
Country Time Lemonade. The nicotine strength feels to be at about the regular level. It's not too strong, but you can notice it's there. The flavor lasts a good amount of time; I've found the flavor last about 40-45 minutes on average.
Rating and Final Thoughts
If this product was available online to the US, I'd definitely buy more of it. It's a good one to keep around, especially for pairing with beer. If you can get it, definitely try it, it's quite tasty!
NOTE: Zyn Nicotine Pouches are available at SnusMe.com.
