The strength is the milligrams in one pouch, not the colour of the tin. CUBA Cherry and CUBA Black Cherry are both cherry, both a 0.65 g pouch and both 20 in the can. One bag holds 10.4 mg. The other holds 43 mg. Black on the second tin is a line name. It does not grade the fruit.

Same fruit, two bags
Both tins say cherry. Both use the same shape of pouch. CUBA Cherry prints 16 mg/g and 10.4 mg. CUBA Black Cherry prints 66 mg/g and 43 mg. Each card lists a 0.65 g pouch and 20 in the can. On 11 October 2026 Cherry was €3.61. Black Cherry was €3.97.
The number people point at is 66 or 16. Those are milligrams per gram. The pouch holds 43 mg or 10.4. Calling Black Cherry a 66 mg pouch is the large number read as a portion. The darker tin put 43 mg into a 0.65 g bag filled at 66 mg/g. Cherry at 16 mg/g is the same kind of misread, one size down: the bag is 10.4 mg.
Black, on this tin, is a line name. Snupax keeps one card per product. Those cards do not carry a column for lid colour, so this page will not invent one. A photo of a tin from another counter is not a Snupax card. If it prints a different mg/g or a different mg per pouch, it is a different product until both numbers match.
CUBA Cherry, 10.4 mg in a 0.65 g pouch. CUBA Black Cherry, 43 mg, same pouch weight.
Five cherry cards
The darker can really does hold more. 10.4 mg against 43 mg is a jump. The word Black seems to explain it. It explains nothing. The card explains it. Someone who learns "darker means stronger" from this one shelf will try it on the next tin. The next tin may be dark because of the flavour, the line or no reason you can read off the paint.
Five cherry cards. The colour of the tin is not a column. Sorted by the milligrams in one pouch.
| Card | mg/g | mg per pouch | Pouch weight | In the can |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CUBA Cherry | 16 | 10.4 | 0.65 g | 20 |
| Garant Cherry Extreme | 50 | 25 | 0.5 g | 27 |
| PABLO Exclusive Cherry Cola | 50 | 30 | 0.6 g | 20 |
| Iceberg Cherry | 50 | 40 | 0.8 g | 20 |
| CUBA Black Cherry | 66 | 43 | 0.65 g | 20 |
Garant Cherry Extreme prints 50 mg/g and 25 mg in a 0.5 g pouch. Half a gram times 50 is 25, which is the portion the card already gives. Cherry is the flavour. There isn't a single cherry strength.
Mint does it without a colour word
Mint pulls the same trick with no colour in the name. Garant Ice Cool is 35 mg/g and 17.5 mg in a 0.5 g pouch, 27 in the can, €3.55 on that same date. Garant Ice Cool Light keeps the format and prints 11 mg/g and 4.8 mg, €3.97. Carry the printed 4.8. Garant Prime Ice Cool is 15.5 mg/g and 10.8 mg in a 0.7 g pouch, 22 in the can, €3.61. The heavier bag holds less than the slim 17.5 mg.
Light prints 4.8 mg. Beside it, Ice Cool Extreme prints 50 mg/g and 25 mg in the pouch. The paint is not either number.
How the pouch weight changes the feel, once you are past the colour, is in why a moist pouch can feel stronger.
Spot the tin afterwards
Write the card down before the colour decides for you. Colour comes last. Use it only as the way you spot the tin on the table once those numbers are written down. A strip pack does not even offer a lid colour to decode. Garant Ice Cool strips are 7 mg a strip, 66 in the pack, with no milligrams per gram at all.
If you wanted 10.4 mg, the darker CUBA tin is the wrong tin even when it is the same brand and the same fruit. Buy the portion. Leave the paint on the tin.
