When it comes to nicotine pouches, the Zyn brand is the king, the top of the mountain. Since its launch in 2016, it has become the most recognized, and widely available brand of nicotine pouches in this category. Swedish Match has continued to grow the brand, from the core lineup, to the addition of new flavors, and now there is truly something for everyone in the Zyn nicotine pouches series. From top to bottom, the Zyn line has it all, but what counts most is this: quality.
ZYN Smooth Review
While most nicotine pouches come in a wide mix of flavors, there is a new, growing category of products that do not have any added flavor. Whether to comply with local regulations, or to offer a product to those who don’t want flavor in their pouch, there are a handful of these available now for those who are looking for this type of product. These reviews are also very easy for me to write, because there, again, no flavor. So, let’s check out Swedish Match’s Zyn Smooth, another new-ish no flavor added nicotine pouch!
This review is going to be quite short. In the aroma and the flavor there is, wait for it, no flavor. I mean, what did we expect? But, I can detect a little bit of the portion material in the aroma and the flavor, but that’s really about it. We can’t discuss flavor longevity, because you can keep these in as long as you want. So really, the only thing we have to discuss with this one is the nicotine strength, because that’s what you can experience with these. Zyn comes in two strengths, 3mg and 6mg. I’m more partial to the 6mg one, because I find it closer to regular strength, which is what I prefer. It is more satisfactory to me, personally. However, the 3mg strength is out there for those who like a lighter strength and have a lighter craving. While not for me, it’s a good option for people who are looking for something in the lighter nicotine department.
Product Specifics:
Can Weight: 6g
Portion Format: Mini Dry Nicotine Pouches
Portion Count: 15 pouches
Portion Weight: 0.4 grams each
Available Nicotine Strengths: 3mg/pouch and 6mg/pouch
Wrap-Up & Recommendation:
If you’re looking for a pouch that delivers nicotine, and nothing else, this is one you’ll be happy with. You can enjoy this one for as long as you want, and get nicotine delivery. Swedish Match’s Zyn line is very high quality, and one of the industry standards in the tobacco-free segment. If you haven’t had Zyn before, give it a try.
Snubie’s Opinion:
What’s great about this product is its pure nicotine delivery. Sometimes, it’s nice to experience a clean nicotine experience without the interference of overpowering flavors or sweetness, which is exactly why this product is easy to enjoy. Just like the other unflavored ZYN, like zyn chill, with ZYN smooth you don’t have to worry about a lingering flavor that you’ll get tired of!
ZYN Cinnamon Review
One thing I like about the nicotine pouch category is the presence of cinnamon flavors. You seem to find almost every manufacturer making a cinnamon flavor, which is a good thing. The sweet and spicy flavor of cinnamon is certainly an enjoyable one. I use a lot of Big Red gum, which I think is one of the reasons I like this flavor so much. Today, we have Swedish Match’s Zyn Cinnamon on deck, so let’s get into the review and talk about it!
Opening the can, I get a mild, smooth aroma of cinnamon. It has a sweetness to it, along with a little spice! The pouches are small, and dry in size, but once you’ve had them under your lip a few minutes they’ll start to get more soft as they get more moist. The flavor on this one is where it shines! The cinnamon flavor comes through clearly, with a nice sweet but spicy balance to it. It’s really enjoyable. In the strengths, I prefer the 6mg one, as I feel it delivers closer to the regular strength level. The 3mg one is a little lighter, and more apt for those who have lighter cravings. The flavor lasts a solid 35-45 minutes, on average.
Product Specifics:
Can Weight: 6g
Portion Format: Mini Dry Nicotine Pouches
Portion Count: 15 pouches
Portion Weight: 0.4 grams each
Available Nicotine Strengths: 3mg/pouch and 6mg/pouch
Wrap-Up & Recommendation:
If you like the taste of cinnamon, you’ll be quite pleased with Zyn Cinnamon. The Zyn series offers a high product quality that is common of Swedish Match products. You’ll also find a lot of other exciting flavors and strengths in the Zyn series, so feel free to jump in and give it a go on your next order.
Snubie’s Opinion:
It is really only here in the US that you’ll encounter cinnamon-flavored nicotine pouches - which is odd seeing as they are so fun and delicious. Fun because of its notes of both spicy and sweet, and delicious thanks to its authenticity - it truly tastes of pure cinnamon and will go with almost anything! The ZYN cinnamon is a great and genius addition to the ZYN series, one that I can truly recommend.
ZYN Citrus Review
If you know me, you know I’m a big fan of the citrus flavor. So I was pretty stoked when this one came across my desk today for today’s review. Today, we’re going to be checking out Zyn Citrus, a nicotine pouch product from Swedish Match! Their Zyn series is amongst the most popular in the US amongst nicotine pouch consumers and with good cause, it’s a really high quality product. So, let’s get into it and check out their citrus flavor!
Opening up the can, I notice a mild citrus presence. It’s a little bit of lime, and a little bit of lemon. It’s slightly tart, but also has a dab of sweetness to it. The pouches are the mini-dry type, and a little stiff at first. But, after you've had them in for a few minutes they’ll start to soften up and get more comfortable with the moisture in your lip. The flavor on this one is pretty nice. The citrus character is mild, but it’s not a weak one by any means. The lemon and lime is pretty well balanced. It’s slightly tart, but with just a little sweetness to it. Honestly, a good all day flavor. In the strength, I prefer the 6mg one, because it’s closer to the regular level. The 3mg one is a little lighter, and good for those with the lighter nicotine strengths. In the flavor longevity, it hangs out a good 35-45 minutes.
Product Specifics:
Can Weight: 6g
Portion Format: Mini Dry Nicotine Pouches
Portion Count: 15 pouches
Portion Weight: 0.4 grams each
Available Nicotine Strengths: 3mg/pouch and 6mg/pouch
Wrap-Up & Recommendation:
If you’re looking for a good all day, every day pouch, this is definitely one you could use. The Zyn line is a high quality product line, but this is one of their best ones yet! If you like the flavor of citrus, compared to others out there this is definitely one of the tastiest ones out there. So, if you want to try something new out, give this one a go, you’ll be quite pleased!
Snubie’s Opinion:
If you try the ZYN Citrus, you will not be disappointed. Although citrus just happens to be my favorite flavor of all time (it works with literally anything), this one is a little extra nice thanks to the prolonged flavor release and quality. The citrus character is perfect and refreshing and very, very enjoyable. You’ll find that this is a pouch you can use all day without growing tired of it.
ZYN Spearmint Review
Of the mint flavors out there, spearmint is my favorite. Some like peppermint, some like menthol, but I’m one of those who prefers the smooth, sweet taste of spearmint. Today, we have Zyn’s Spearmint on deck to talk about, and both strengths: 3mg and 6mg. Zyn is a pretty solid product line, and has some of the highest quality on the market. And as far as mint flavors go, this is one of the better ones. So, let’s jump into this review and talk about Zyn Spearmint!
When you open a can, you’ll pick up a nice, smooth aroma of spearmint right off the bat. It’s mild, and lightly sweet in nature. Sliding a pouch under the lip you’ll get a nice cooling presence because it’s a mint product. At first, they’re a little stiff and dry, but as they get more moist in the lip they’ll start to soften up and get more comfortable. The flavor is really nice. It’s pretty refreshing, and has a nice presence in the lip. The spearmint is mild, and lightly sweet in nature. It’s definitely a nice, balanced, beautiful mint flavor. This one comes in two strengths: 3mg and 6mg. I’m more partial to the 6mg. It feels a little below regular strength, but is closer to what I use. The 3mg one is for those who prefer a much lighter strength. The flavor on this one lasts a good 40-45 minutes.
Product Specifics:
Can Weight: 6g
Portion Format: Mini Dry Nicotine Pouches
Portion Count: 15 pouches
Portion Weight: 0.4 grams each
Available Nicotine Strengths: 3mg/pouch and 6mg/pouch
Wrap-Up & Recommendation:
In the world of nicotine pouches, Zyn is one of the highest quality ones out there. Of their mint flavors, this one is my favorite of theirs. I find spearmint to be such a smooth, lightly sweet, straightforward flavor. Don’t get me wrong, their other mint flavors are enjoyable, but if you’re looking for a good, sweet mint pouch, you’ll be quite happy with this one!
Snubie’s Opinion:
Out of all the mint variants, like peppermint, wintergreen, spearmint, menthol and regular mint - the spearmint type is my absolute favorite. Top that off with ZYN’s famous high quality, and you’ll find one of the best spearmint nicotine pouches on the market: ZYN Spearmint. Again, this type of nicotine pouch with spearmint flavor is one of those that you can easily use exclusively without growing tired of its flavor profile. It is both mellow and powerful at the same time - mellow thanks to its soothing mint character (as opposed to menthol which hits you hard) and powerful due to its inevitable refreshing properties (as is always the case with mint). Recommend, recommend!
ZYN Wintergreen Review
If you know me, you know wintergreen and I have a love/hate relationship. Sometimes I want it, sometimes I don’t. But when I do want it, one of the wintergreen products I’ll go for is this one: Zyn Wintergreen. Zyn is a brand of nicotine pouches made by Swedish Match that comes with a high product quality. It is also one of the most well known, and popular lines of nicotine pouches on the market. Their wintergreen flavor is quite popular, so today we’ll be checking out their 3mg and 6mg strengths!
Opening up the can, the wintergreen aroma that comes through is pretty nice. It’s a milder wintergreen aroma, and has a little bit of sweetness to it. The pouches are kinda stiff at first, but they’ll soften up under the lip once they get more moist. They have a slight tingle in the lip, as well. In the flavor, the wintergreen is present, but mild. It’s not weak, but it’s not strong. It’s very well balanced. It has a touch of sweetness to it, but it’s not too over the top. The 6mg nicotine strength is more what I enjoy, because I find it to be closer to the regular level. The 3mg one is lighter, and for those who have more light cravings. This one has about 35-45 minutes of flavor longevity.
Product Specifics:
Can Weight: 6g
Portion Format: Mini Dry Nicotine Pouches
Portion Count: 15 pouches
Portion Weight: 0.4 grams each
Available Nicotine Strengths: 3mg/pouch and 6mg/pouch
Wrap-Up & Recommendation:
Zyn is a pretty popular line of nicotine pouches, and comes with a lot of different flavors and strengths. This is one of their better ones, in my opinion. Even if you don’t like wintergreen, you may find yourself enjoying this one. You also get the high quality of the Zyn series in each pouch, so this is one you can enjoy all day, every day!
Snubie’s Opinion:
Although wintergreen flavored pouches are not typically part of my rotation, this one from ZYN very much is! Trust me when I say - there is no other wintergreen pouch like this one. It’s smooth, creamy (almost rich!) and highly enjoyable. I can honestly recommend this to both users and non-users of wintergreen - you will not be let down!
ZYN Chill Review
This is going to be one of those easy reviews. Why? Because this one has no added flavor to it. So, basically all we’ll be talking about in this one is just the nicotine strength. I know, sometimes it’s fun to get to these easy reviews. This is Zyn Chill, a nicotine pouch product made by Swedish Match. This one is similar to their Zyn Smooth, but slightly different, which we’ll talk about in the review. The unflavored pouch category is growing. Whether to meet local regulations, or consumer interest in unflavored pouches, more companies are making similar products. So, let’s check this one out!
As mentioned before, there is no added flavor to this one. So, there isn’t much to discuss in terms of the aroma and flavor. I can sometimes taste the pouch material, but that’s about it with this one. I will say this, it does have one difference from Zyn Smooth. This one has almost a light cooling sensation under the lip. But that’s about it! The nicotine strengths are really what we can discuss with these. I find the 6mg one to be rather enjoyable, as it delivers close to the regular strength level. The 3mg one is a lighter strength, and geared towards those with lighter cravings. The flavor longevity is really a non-topic, because you can basically keep these in as long as you’re getting nicotine from them. I’ve found usually about an hour for me before it starts to fade out.
Product Specifics:
Can Weight: 6g
Portion Format: Mini Dry Nicotine Pouches
Portion Count: 15 pouches
Portion Weight: 0.4 grams each
Available Nicotine Strengths: 3mg/pouch and 6mg/pouch
Wrap-Up & Recommendation:
If you’re into the no added flavor category, you’ll be pleased with Zyn Smooth. It has the familiar high quality of Swedish Match nicotine pouches, and comes with the simple nicotine delivery experience you can expect from products without any added flavor to them!
Snubie’s Opinion:
I find flavorless products very interesting, partly because they are widely used for their pure experience, but also because of how surprisingly satisfying they are to use. When I first tried one, I expected to really not like it (I prefer flavor) but I could immediately see why there is a need for products like ZYN Smooth. I will always choose flavor over flavorless, but if you are looking for an unflavored nicotine pouch, this one will give you everything you need.
ZYN Peppermint Review
In the world of nicotine pouches, there is no more common or popular flavor than mint. In the Swedish Match Zyn series, they have quite a lot of minty offerings: Peppermint, Spearmint, Cool Mint, and Menthol. So, no matter what you’re into, you can find a mint offering that will meet your fancy! I’m more partial to their Spearmint flavor, but today we’re going to be checking out the Peppermint option. So, let’s get into this review and check out Zyn Peppermint!
In the aroma department, this one has a light aroma of peppermint. It’s slightly sweet, but pretty mild in nature. When I put a pouch in my lip, I encounter a gentle cooling presence due to the mint flavor. They’re a little stiff at first, but after a few minutes they’ll get more moist, and soft. The flavor comes on pretty quick, and is quite refreshing. The peppermint flavor is front and center, and has a light, airy presence to it. It’s subtly sweet, but not overdone in the sweetness department. In the nicotine strength, we have two: 3mg and 6mg. The 3mg one is a lighter one, for those who have lighter cravings. The 6mg one is more satisfactory to me, with a more moderate delivery. Ultimately, it depends on what you’re looking for. The flavor hangs out around 35-45 minutes.
Product Specifics:
Can Weight: 6g
Portion Format: Mini Dry Nicotine Pouches
Portion Count: 15 pouches
Portion Weight: 0.4 grams each
Available Nicotine Strengths: 3mg/pouch and 6mg/pouch
Wrap-Up & Recommendation:
If you like mint, you’ll enjoy this one. I’m more partial to their Spearmint flavor, but their Peppermint option isn’t too bad. With Zyn, you get a pretty high product quality, so if you like Peppermint you’ll be quite happy with this one. The Zyn series, in general, has a lot of strengths and flavors so no matter what you’re into, you’ll find something that works for you!
Snubie’s Opinion:
Just like any nicotine pouch brand, ZYN has a wide range of mint types on offer. When it comes to ZYN peppermint, it may not be my personal favorite (only because I’m more of a spearmint type of guy), but it’s nevertheless a fantastic mint product that you’ll enjoy if you love peppermint. The peppermint character is fresh, rejuvenating, icy and powerful - just perfect if you are looking for a refreshing experience.
ZYN Cool Mint Review
It feels like the Zyn series has a million mint flavors to it. I enjoy their Spearmint taste a lot, but they have others, such as Menthol, Peppermint, and the one we’re talking about today: Cool Mint! Cool Mint is more on the peppermint side of the flavor spectrum, compared to others in their range. We have two strength levels to talk about today: their 3mg strength and their 6mg strength. So, mint-lovers, let’s check out another mint flavored product in Swedish Match’s Zyn series.
Opening the can, I was curious what the “mint” in “Cool Mint” would be. To me, it reminds me more of peppermint. It’s a pretty mild peppermint, with a very slight sweetness to it. The pouches are a little stiff at first, but once they’ve been under the lip for a minute they’ll get more moist and soften up. You’ll encounter a little cooling sensation under the lip at first, which is a nice added freshness to go along with the mint flavor profile. In the taste, it’s a mild peppermint. It’s gentle, with a little bit of sweetness to it. It’s not a bold taste, and comes across in a pretty mellow way. As far as the nicotine strengths go, I’m more partial to the 6mg level, as it delivers closer to the regular strength level. The 3mg one is lighter, and for those who have lighter nicotine cravings. I find the flavor to last an average of 35-45 minutes.
Product Specifics:
Can Weight: 6g
Portion Format: Mini Dry Nicotine Pouches
Portion Count: 15 pouches
Portion Weight: 0.4 grams each
Available Nicotine Strengths: 3mg/pouch and 6mg/pouch
Wrap-Up & Recommendation:
If you’re a nicotine pouch fan, the Zyn series is definitely one to try out. It has a really high level of quality, due to Swedish Match standards. This line has a wide range of strengths and flavors available, so no matter what you’re into or looking for, you can find it with Zyn!
Snubie’s Opinion:
I guess you have noticed by now that all around you are lots of different mint pouches and most producers make sure to include at least one (ZYN has three!) mint flavors in their lineup. Personally, I find spearmint to be the best mint out there, primarily due to its slightly sweeter profile. But if you enjoy mint and regularly use it, then the ZYN Cool Mint won’t fail you - it’s straight to the point, powerful and super fresh!
