Ripe cherry with real fruit depth
Cherry is a difficult flavour to get right in nicotine pouches. Get it wrong and it tastes like cough syrup. Rave Merry Cherry gets it right by leaning into dark, ripe cherry rather than bright, artificial red cherry. The flavour is sweet but grounded by tartness, closer to a handful of black cherries than a bag of cherry drops. There is a slight almond note in the background that adds sophistication.
Strength and Format
The dark cherry character holds up well over a 30 to 40 minute session. It opens with full-bodied cherry richness, then gradually lightens into a softer, sweeter finish. The slim 0.5g pouches deliver the flavour at a steady pace with moderate moisture. Cherry is a flavour that benefits from a bit of wetness, and Rave's slim format provides enough without being drippy.
Who It's For
Five strengths: 5mg, 10mg, 12mg, 18mg, and 25mg. The dark fruit notes complement nicotine well, with the cherry sweetness taking the edge off higher strengths. At around £3.40 per can, Merry Cherry is one of the better cherry pouches available in the UK, and it undercuts most competitors on price.
