Citrus 9mg, where Zyn's orange moves into the slim pouch
Ask for a Zyn with a bit of sunshine in it and Citrus is the can that gets pointed at. Zyn Citrus 9mg is the third rung of the brand's Citrus ladder, and it is the first one in the slim pouch, the longer, moist format the maker now calls Regular. The flavour is the same bright mix as the smaller cans: citrus fruits, orange out in front and a hint of lemongrass behind it. The pouch contains no tobacco leaf, so what you taste is the fruit and the nicotine and nothing else. Here's the thing. At 9mg the citrus sharpens up and gets some depth under it, which is exactly what the regulars were asking for.
Orange peel and lemongrass, sharper in the bigger pouch
Pop one in and it opens like the first bite of a satsuma on a cold morning, bright and sweet with a proper zest to it. The orange leads, a soft lemongrass note comes in underneath and keeps it from going sugary, and the slim pouch, being moist, gets the flavour moving sooner than a Mini does. It holds its line through the load rather than fading, and the finish is clean, like the last of the juice rather than the pith. No bitterness, no syrup. Fair play to it, a citrus that stays this fresh to the end is doing something right.
9mg of nicotine, the medium band, and the Citrus rungs either side
Each pouch carries 9mg of nicotine, which lands it in our medium band, the one that runs from 8mg to 16mg. Zyn sorts its shelf into three tiers, 1.5mg to 3.5mg at the bottom, 6mg to 13.5mg in the middle and 16.5mg on top, and Citrus 9mg sits on that middle tier. In the Citrus line it is the third of four steps, with Citrus 3mg and Citrus 6mg beneath it in the Mini and Citrus 11mg above it in this same slim pouch. Uptake is quicker than the Minis and the curve has a bit more to it. Medium strength snus with a fruit flavour that earns its place.

For the Citrus 6mg regular who wants the next step
This is the can for anyone who has been on Citrus 6mg and found the Mini running out of road, and for the slim pouch regular who fancies a fruit instead of a mint. It suits people who like a flavour that wakes the mouth up without being sweet. If you want the same orange with more behind it, Zyn Citrus 11mg is the top of the ladder, same pouch, bigger number. Fancy something with a cool edge at the same 9mg? Zyn Cool Mint 9mg sits right beside it. Give it a go.
