Zyn After Dark (2025 Limited Edition) Nicotine Pouches - Review. 25 November 2025.

on
The US Zyn series doesn't release new flavors very often.  The last new ones were Chill, Smooth, and Citrus back in 2019.  Now, Swedish Match/PMI has brought forth three new flavors to the US market.  This is the new Zyn After Dark series.  Some have said they've seen this in stores, but I haven't yet.  I bought these online on Nicokick.com, which I think has an exclusivity with these for online sales.  An interesting note about this, on the US Zyn site it says these are "Based on existing authorized flavors".  This has led to some theorizing that these are rebranded Zyn products.  In fact, many online that have tried them have been saying that.  Now, it's been a while since I've had the applicable flavors (Citrus, Coffee, and Cinnamon), but I notice a slight difference, as have many others.  I'll share more on that in my reviews.  Contents-wise, these are the same as the regular Zyn.  Each can is 6 grams with 15 pouches, at 0.4g each.  The pouches are all the small dry type.  They're a little stiff in the lip, and soften up over time.  I bought these in the 6mg strength.  Their 3mg is a bit too low for me.  Even this 6mg strength isn't what I usually go for, but it's the highest they had, so it'll have to work!  It feels a little below the regular strength level, but doesn't kick too hard.  Now, let's check out the products!

Zyn Spiced Cider

Flavor Description:  "Spiced cider cocktail-inspired".

My Review:  Opening the can, I pick up a mild cinnamon presence.  To my nose, there appears to be a faint apple touch to the aroma.  The flavor, like other Zyn products, is incredibly mild and takes a while to develop.  In the taste, it is mostly cinnamon, but I do detect almost a faint touch of apple.  Not everyone notices this, but I've seen others comment that they pick it up as well.  The flavor presence is very mild, and doesn't last too long, which is common of the Zyn dry format.

Zyn Espresso Martini

Flavor Description:  "Espresso martini cocktail-inspired".

My Review:  This one does smell like standard Zyn Coffee, but it almost appears to be slightly smoother, to my nose.  Flavor-wise, it's mild, but it seems to have more body than regular Zyn Coffee.  The coffee character is smooth, and almost creamy.  It's still a mild taste, but it does seem more present, and slightly more creamy than I notice with the regular US Zyn Coffee.  Flavor longevity remains about the same, about 30ish minutes.

Zyn Mojito

Flavor Description:  "Mojito cocktail-inspired".

My Review:  In the aroma, this one is very, very mild.  There is a faint citrusy aroma to it.  I seem to notice more lime with this one than I notice with regular Zyn Citrus.  The flavor is also very light.  It is citrusy, but like with the aroma, I seem to notice more lime than with Zyn Citrus.  I've read some others online notice this, too.  The flavor presence is very faint, and the lifespan of flavor isn't too long either.  Usually these seem to kick around for about 30 minutes or so.

Rating and Final Thoughts

First, the ratings.  I gave Espresso Martini a 2.92/5.  Apple Cider a 2.83/5.  And Mojito a 2.67/5.  Mojito was very, very faint in taste.  Now, to be honest, I'm not the biggest Zyn fan.  I don't use the US mini dry ones.  I like a more slim moist pouch.  So my ratings are more in line with what I like about products.  However, if you're someone who uses products like these and like the mini dry pouch, you may be pleased with these.

Are they rebranded Zyn Citrus, Coffee, and Cinnamon?  I can't say for sure, it's been a while since I've had US Zyn.  Reading my notes, I think there may be a slight tweak to the taste.  Some think that.  But some also don't notice much of a difference.  In the end, I think this will come down to your taste buds and what you think of these.  If you've had them, comment and let me know what you've experienced.
