Zyn Black Cherry (Nicotine Pouches, US Market) - Review. 1 July 2026.

Zynthusiasts in the US are rejoicing right now.  The popular Zyn Black Cherry flavor from Europe has finally come to the US!  It's been many, many years since Swedish Match / PMI launched new Zyn flavors in the US.  In late June, however, they brought Black Cherry and Peach to the US, and brought forth a new one - Dragonberry.  That one is my favorite, it tastes like Red Bull.  These are hit and miss with finding them in the US, but Nicokick.com has them available right now.  The flavor description for this one says "A rich black cherry flavor that balances complex sweetness with a smooth finish".  Each can weighs 6 grams and has 15 pouches, at 0.4 grams each.  The nicotine strengths these come in are 3mg and 6mg.  Today, I have it in the 6mg strength, because I do find the 3mg strength to be much too light for me, personally.  Now, let's taste!

When I open the can, I notice a present aroma of black cherry.  It's mild, because it's a dry Zyn, but it was more present than I anticipated.  The pouches, of course, are the mini dry type.  They're small, and stiff, and dry.  They do moisten up in time under the lip, however.  In the flavor, I detect the familiar black cherry taste.  It's not super powerful, or present, however.  It remains a relatively light, mild taste.  This is similar to other US Zyn products I've had before.  Strength-wise, today I have the 6mg one.  It is lighter than I usually use myself, but I do find a decent deliver of that strength.  The flavor longevity sits at around 35-40ish minutes or so, on average.

Rating and Final Thoughts

I rated this one at 3.17/5.  That may sound low, but I do like to stress - I don't really use the dry Zyn.  I'm more partial to the slim ones myself, and enjoy them more.  I will say this, when I refigure my score if this launched in the Zyn Ultra format, it would be almost a 4/5.  So, hopefully at some point they bring it to the Ultra lineup!  But, if you're a mini dry Zyn enthusiast, I think you're going to enjoy this one.  Zyn fans in the US have asked for it for years, and it's here now!
