Black Cherry ZYN: Strengths, Price and Where to Find It
Black Cherry ZYN: Strengths, Price and Where to Find It
Black Cherry ZYN is one of three fruit flavors added to the standard ZYN lineup in summer 2026, sold in the US in 3 mg and 6 mg with 15 pouches per can. Northerner and Nicokick list it at $4.49 per can ($0.30 per pouch), though both showed it out of stock on October 24, 2026. The 11 mg Black Cherry you may see online is a UK product in a different format, and the two US sellers ZYN names do not carry it.

Where These Numbers Come From
Every figure above is from zyn.com and the two online sellers ZYN names on its FAQ: Northerner and Nicokick. Price per pouch was computed from the listed can price divided by 15. Flavor descriptions are seller and reviewer copy, not our tasting. No product on this page was lab-tested or use-tested by us. One thing to know up front: Roon, which publishes this page, makes a nicotine-free caffeine pouch and links to it below. Every number traces to a brand or retailer page you can open yourself.
What Does Black Cherry ZYN Taste Like?
Sellers describe a sweet black cherry; these are seller and reviewer notes, not our own tasting. Northerner's US listing calls it "a sweet black cherry flavor in a tobacco leaf-free and smoke-free format." Tobacco Insider adds "subtle tart undertones and a smooth finish." A Northerner UK review of the UK version called it "a berry-forward flavour with cherry sweetness and subtle tanginess" and rated flavor accuracy 4/5, with longevity and aftertaste at 3/5. That review covers the UK range, which is not the same product as the US cans.
Which Strengths Does Black Cherry ZYN Come In?
In the US, 3 mg and 6 mg only. Black Cherry does not come in 1.5 mg or 8 mg, unlike longer-standing flavors such as Cool Mint. ZYN's FAQ confirms Black Cherry, Peach and Dragonberry "are available in the classic 3 mg and 6 mg strengths." The UK range is broader (1.5 mg mini through 11 mg slim, 20 per can), but those SKUs are not stocked by US sellers.
Why Is Black Cherry ZYN Out of Stock?
Both Northerner and Nicokick listed Black Cherry in 3 mg and 6 mg as out of stock on October 24, 2026. We do not know why. ZYN's FAQ calls the three new flavors "permanent additions to the classic lineup". ZYN also notes its pouches are "still available for purchase through your local distribution," so a convenience store or tobacco shop may carry it before online sellers restock.
Is Black Cherry ZYN FDA Authorized?
No. The FDA's authorized nicotine pouch list, current as of August 21, 2026, names 20 standard ZYN products (the original 10 flavors in 3 and 6 mg) and 11 ZYN Ultra products. Black Cherry, Peach and Dragonberry are absent. A PMI press release from September 9, 2026 lists Black Cherry among "ZYN dry pouch variants commercially available." For the full breakdown, see the FDA-authorized nicotine pouches list.
Black Cherry Pouches Without Nicotine
If the flavor appeals but nicotine does not, a few brands sell black cherry pouches with caffeine or no active ingredient at all.
| Pouch | Nicotine | Caffeine | Price | Per pouch | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra Energy Black Cherry | 0 | 180 mg | $16.00/can, 15 pouches | $1.07 | takeultra.com |
| Nectr Energy Black Cherry | 0 | 50 mg | $10.99 single; $32.99 4-pack | not published | nectr.energy |
| Nectr Zero Black Cherry | 0 | 0 | $8.99 single; $29.99 4-pack | not published | nectr.energy |
| Roon (Cool Mint only, no cherry) | 0 | 80 mg | from $9.16/tin, 15 pouches | from $0.61 | takeroon.com |
Note: Ultra Energy's page states, "Per FDA guidelines we do not recommend exceeding 2 pouches per day." Nectr's pouch count is not published, so per-pouch price is not computed. For more on Ultra Energy, see the Ultra Energy review.
Before You Try a New Nicotine Flavor
ZYN contains nicotine, and nicotine is addictive. ZYN's site carries the warning: "This product contains nicotine." ZYN is for adults 21 and older who already use nicotine, not for pregnant people. Keep cans away from children and pets. For help quitting nicotine: 1-800-QUIT-NOW.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Black Cherry ZYN discontinued?
No. ZYN's FAQ calls it a "permanent addition" alongside Peach and Dragonberry. Northerner and Nicokick still host product pages for Black Cherry in 3 mg and 6 mg; both showed out of stock on October 24, 2026. Ask a local shop that carries ZYN for current availability.
Is there a Black Cherry ZYN Ultra?
No. ZYN Ultra carries eight flavors (Citrus Zest, Wintergreen Blast, Peppermint Frost, Arctic Mint, Fresh Spearmint, Menthol Ice, Signature Smooth, Chill Mist) in 9 mg and 11 mg. Black Cherry is only sold in the standard line. The ZYN flavors guide covers every SKU.
Can you buy Black Cherry ZYN on Amazon?
ZYN's FAQ names Nicokick and Northerner as online sellers. It also notes ZYN is available "through your local distribution." We have not verified Amazon's current listings or policies for nicotine pouches.
How much nicotine is in a full can of 6 mg Black Cherry ZYN?
Each can holds 15 pouches at 6 mg, so total labeled nicotine is 90 mg. A 3 mg can holds 45 mg total. Same counts and strengths as every other standard ZYN flavor.
Keep the Pouch, Lose the Nicotine
Roon has no cherry flavor. It ships Cool Mint only, zero nicotine. If the under-the-lip habit is what you value and you are considering stepping away from nicotine, Roon keeps the format and replaces the active ingredient.
Instead of nicotine, a Roon pouch carries 80 mg of caffeine and 60 mg of L-theanine, with 25 mg of methylliberine (Dynamine) and 5 mg of theacrine (TeaCrine) alongside. The methylliberine is the reason the lift lasts, because it slows caffeine clearance: in a randomized, double-blind crossover study (n=12), co-dosing cut oral clearance from 41.9 to 17.1 L/hr and extended half-life from 7.2 to 15 hours with no increase in peak concentration (study). That trial used 100 mg methylliberine and 150 mg caffeine, about 4x and 1.9x what one pouch contains, so Roon follows the same direction, not the same numbers, and a 15-hour half-life does not mean 15 hours of felt energy. Expect one pouch to carry you six to eight hours. Because the caffeine tail stretches longer, keep your last pouch at least 8 hours ahead of bedtime, and stay at 4 pouches a day or fewer.
Roon runs from $9.16 per tin on a 12-tin subscription, as little as $0.61 per pouch, and a first order carries a 30-day money-back guarantee (once per customer). Give it a try.
