A can of SNU Tropical Punch 45mg

Tropical Punch, mango and pineapple, at the top of SNU's climb

Ask what is in a tropical punch and most people shrug and say fruit. SNU can tell you exactly: mango and pineapple, two fruits, nothing else in the jug. SNU Tropical Punch 45mg is the fruit can from the brand's Xtra High line, the last of its four strengths and a long way above the 18mg High can under it. The strength tab on the lid says 60MG PER GRAM rather than a per pouch number, the six dots are all filled with an X on the end, XTRA HIGH sits beneath, and a red stamp reads XTRA STRONG USE RESPONSIBLY. You will not find a 45 on the can. The brand gives the strength per gram, and that works out at 45mg in each pouch, the figure on our shelf. Same punch, very different lid.

Ripe mango, bright pineapple, right through the load

Mango comes first, ripe and smooth, with the depth of the good tinned mango rather than the fruit salad kind. Then the pineapple cuts across it, juicy and sharp, and lifts the whole thing so it never turns syrupy. The two share the pouch evenly from there, and because SNU uses the same flavour at every rung, it is the taste anyone on the 9mg, 12mg or 18mg will know. The finish is tangy, pineapple having the last word, and the flavour holds from the first pouch to the twentieth. A clear two fruit punch. Fair play to it.

45mg a pouch, where the SNU punch stops climbing

Every pouch carries 45mg of nicotine, which puts it in our extreme band, 25mg and up, and makes it the biggest number SNU puts in a can. The brand's ladder is four rungs: 9mg Low, 12mg Medium, 18mg High, then Xtra High at 45mg, and Tropical Punch is on every one of them. It is one of five flavours that reach this top rung, with Cherry Cola, Wild Cherry, Fizzy Energy and Black Ice for company. Slim pouches, 20 to the can. Quick uptake, steep curve, long load. Extreme snus in a fruit flavour, and the fruit is the point of it.

Punch people at the top rung, and the cans beside it

This is the can for the SNU regular who has been on Tropical Punch 18mg and wants the same two fruits with the top number behind them. It also suits anyone on an extreme mint who fancies fruit for a change. If 45mg is a bigger jump than you had in mind, SNU Tropical Punch 18mg is the same mango and pineapple on the rung below, and it is where most of the punch crowd settle. Want a different flavour at this number? SNU Wild Cherry 45mg is the red fruit next to it, and SNU Fizzy Energy 45mg is the fizzy one. Give it a go.
