NYYTTI – Tar 9.6mg

Tar liquorice is a classic Finnish sweet, and NYYTTI Tar 9.6mg turns that smoky, woody flavour into a strong slim nicotine pouch. The name describes a taste, not an ingredient: dark liquorice with resin-like, smoky notes. If you have ever tried Finnish tar sweets, the profile will feel familiar.

What does NYYTTI Tar 9.6mg taste like?

Expect a deep liquorice with a smoky, woody character and a subtle spicy tone, softened by a touch of sweetness. In Finland the style is known as tervalaku, and it is one of the most distinctive flavours in the NYYTTI line-up. It is also the furthest from mainstream mint, which is exactly the point. Compared with Turkish Pepper, it trades salt and heat for smoke and wood.

Who reaches for a tar flavour

This is a can for people who already like strong, dark tastes, such as salty liquorice, black coffee or smoked foods. If you are curious but cautious, the fruitier Liquorice Candy is a gentler way into the brand, at exactly the same strength. Tar is a flavour people tend to love or leave, so it rewards those who already know what they like. Fans of the darker side of liquorice will find it more grown-up than the candy version.
