ZYN Slim – Sour Ruby 11mg

For fruit fans who want a firmer hit, ZYN Sour Ruby 11mg pairs a tangy red berry flavour with the Strong step of the ZYN slim range. It uses a moist slim pouch, and each can holds 20 of them. Compared with the 6mg can, each pouch carries about 80 percent more nicotine behind the same berry notes.

Stepping up to ZYN Sour Ruby 11mg

Sour Ruby is made at two strengths, 6mg and 11mg, and this can is the upper one. The extra nicotine shows up as a stronger, longer tingle, while the flavour keeps the same tart berry character described by ZYN as soft and sour. Reach for it when a medium pouch has started to feel thin, or keep it for the times of day when you want more from each pouch.

Reading the Sour Ruby lid

The can has a white rim and a deep magenta lid, with the word Strong and three of four dots printed above the logo. That dot row is the quickest way to tell it apart from the Medium can, which shares the colour but shows only two dots. Despite a name that suggests ruby grapefruit, the official flavour notes point to red berries, not citrus.

• Nicotine strength: 11mg per pouch
• Level: Extra Strong on our scale; Strong, 3 of 4 dots from ZYN
• Pouch type: Slim, moist
• Pouches in each can: 20
• Flavour profile: tart red berry with a sour finish
