Cactus Spice 9mg, lime, warmth and a steadier number
Zyn Cactus Spice 9mg is the entry point to the most unusual flavour on the Zyn shelf. It is the lighter of the two Cactus Spice cans, in the slim pouch that is moist to the touch, and 9mg puts it on the brand's middle tier and at the lower end of our medium band. Here's the thing. Nobody buys this one by accident. It is green cactus sweetness, a sharp lime and a warm chilli spice, the sort of flavour you choose on purpose because the mints and berries have become routine. Zyn pouches contain no tobacco leaf. Bold, bright and a bit different, no messing about.
Sharp cactus sweetness with a brighter warmth
The first pouch opens on cactus, green and sweet with a sharper edge than you might expect, and lime right behind it, like the squeeze over a bowl of guacamole. At 9mg the sweetness reads a touch sharper and the chilli warmth a touch brighter, so the whole thing feels lively rather than heavy. The spice sits under the fruit and builds gently through the load without taking over. The slim pouch is moist, so the drip is generous and the lime carries to the end. It finishes bold and expressive. Proper different, and fair play to it.
9mg a pouch, the first of the two cactus rungs
Each pouch carries 9mg of nicotine, which lands in our medium band, the one that runs from 8mg to 16mg, down at the lower end of it. On Zyn's shelf that is the middle tier, the 6mg to 13.5mg cans, above the 1.5mg to 3.5mg tier and below the 16.5mg cans at the top. Cactus Spice comes at 9mg and 11mg, both in the slim pouch, and this is the lower of the two. Uptake is brisk without being sharp and the curve climbs steadily. The pouch is the slim, long and moist to the touch. Medium snus with lime and warmth on it.

For the regular who wants the cactus without the full number
This is the can for the medium strength regular who fancies a change from mint and berry and wants the warmth without jumping straight to 11mg, and for anyone who likes lime and chilli on a plate and is curious what they do in snus. It suits the person who keeps one unusual can beside the everyday one. If 9mg is the right amount, stay put. Want the same cactus, lime and spice with more behind it? Zyn Cactus Spice 11mg is the rung above. Want a rounder fruit at the same number? Zyn Black Cherry 9mg is the soft one next to it. Give it a go.
