Liquorice, the dark one in Cuba's Ninja line
Ask around the counter for a snus that does not taste like fruit or mint and Cuba Ninja Liquorice is the one that gets pointed at. It is the liquorice from Cuba's Ninja line, the middle of the brand's three lines, which starts at 15.6mg, made in Poland by Nicotobacco, the factory behind every Cuba can on the shelf. Ninja is where Cuba puts more behind the flavour than White without going near the Black numbers. Now, there is no fruit in here, no mint, and no sweet shop pink. It is black liquorice, dark and sweet, and it makes no apology for it.
Black liquorice, the proper dark stuff, pouch after pouch
Pop one in and it is liquorice straight away, the dark, sweet taste of the black twists from the newsagent's jar rather than anything fruity dressed up as it. There is a deep sweetness to it with a dark edge underneath, which is what makes liquorice liquorice. The flavour holds steady right through the load, no fade, and the finish is that dark note lingering after the pouch is out. Nothing else is going on in there, and that is the appeal. One flavour, done straight. Fair play to it.
15.6mg a pouch behind the liquorice
Each pouch carries 15.6mg of nicotine, which puts it at the top of our medium band, 8mg to 16mg, a step short of strong. Cuba's ladder runs White at 10.4mg, Ninja in the middle, Black at 43mg, and the Ninja line itself opens with cans like this one at 15.6mg and runs up to 150mg. The uptake is quicker than White and the drip steadier, which is why people move up to Ninja. Slim white pouches. Medium strength snus with a dark flavour on the lid, no messing about.

The liquorice people, and the cans beside them
Ninja Liquorice suits anyone who already likes the black stuff and wants it at a number with a bit of weight, and anyone who has worked through the fruit and mint cans and fancies something different. If you want a sweet flavour at the same 15.6mg, Cuba Ninja Bubblegum and Cuba Ninja Coconut sit either side of it. Want far more behind it? The Cuba Black line at 43mg is the next rung up the ladder, and Cuba Black Cola is the dark, sweet can up there. Give it a go.
