A can of Cuba Black Banana Hit 43mg

Banana Hit at 43mg, Cuba's loud banana

There is a particular kind of regular who walks in, says one word, and walks out with a black can. The word is banana. Cuba Black Banana Hit is the banana flavour in Cuba's Black line, which is the brand's 43mg line, and it comes out of the Nicotobacco factory in Poland like every can with the Cuba name on it. Black is the line Cuba built for people who already run extreme snus and want the brand's fruit flavours with a far bigger number underneath. Banana is one of the sweetest things on that shelf. Here's the thing. The flavour has not been turned down to make room for the nicotine. Both arrive at full volume.

Sweet banana, dense from the first pouch to the twentieth

The taste is banana, sweet and rounded, with the thick, almost creamy weight of the foam banana from a pick and mix bag. It lands straight away and it stays dense right through the load, with no thinning out as the pouch goes on. There is a dark edge under the sweetness that the Black line brings to everything it carries, and it gives all that sugar somewhere to sit. The finish is long and sweet. Proper banana, with a serious can behind it. Fair play to it.

43mg of nicotine, and the two Cuba lines beneath the banana

Every pouch carries 43mg of nicotine, which puts it in our extreme band, the one that begins at 25mg and keeps going. Cuba stacks three lines. White sits at the bottom with 10.4mg a pouch, the Ninja line begins at 15.6mg and reaches all the way up to its 150mg cans, and Black runs at 43mg. So this is a long way above White and the standard Ninja, with only the biggest Ninja cans going higher. Uptake is fast and the curve climbs hard straight away, which is what the black can is for. The pouches are slim and black, 20 to a can. Strong snus is not the word for it. This is the extreme end.

Who reaches for the black banana can

This is a can for the experienced extreme snus user who has run 30mg cans for a while and wants the next step, in a flavour that is cheerful rather than cold. It suits the regular who already knows Cuba White Banana Hit and wants the same banana with a far bigger number behind it. If 43mg is more than you are after today, Cuba White Banana Hit carries the identical flavour at 10.4mg. And if you want to stay on Black and try another fruit, Cuba Black Cherry and Cuba Black Grape are the two cans most banana people drift to next. Give it a go.
