This product launched a little while back, but I'm just now getting around to ordering it to review. Honestly, there are so many nicotine pouches out there, I don't rush to review new ones like I do with snus. Today, we have Swedish Match's Zyn Red Fruits. Note, this is a slim/moist product for the Swedish market, and online sales. This isn't a mini/dry product for the US market. The flavor description for this one says "
ZYN Red Fruits Slim has a strawberry and menthol flavor, with a hint of rhubarb and raspberry". Each car weighs 14.7 grams and has 21 pouches, for 0.7 gram pouches. The nicotine content is 12.9mg/g, which breaks down to 9.03mg/pouch. Now, let's check this stuff out!
Opening the can, you can definitely pick up some rhubarb. It's slightly tart. Along with it, some semi-sweet fruity notes of raspberry and strawberry come through. It does have a slight cooling essence to the aroma, but it's not overly minty. The pouches are slim, semi-moist and pretty soft. They feel comfortable under the lip when you put them in. The flavor is pretty tasty. I notice it to be slightly sweet, and slightly tart. The raspberry and strawberry comes through pretty clearly, and has a light touch of rhubarb to it. It is kind of a "cooling" type of taste, but I don't pick up a big taste of mint or menthol. The nicotine strength on this one is pretty decent, and feels to be about the regular level. The flavor lasts a good 40-45 minutes.
Rating and Final Thoughts
All in all, not bad stuff! I gave this one a 3.5/5. I think the flavor works pretty well. I'm usually not the biggest fan of rhubarb in snus or nicotine pouches, but it honestly wasn't too obtrusive. And I didn't find the mint/menthol character to be too in your face, which can usually ruin a pouch. So, if you like fruit flavors, give this one a go!
I buy my products from SnusMe.com, I suggest checking them out!
