A dry, bold peppermint at 77's lightest
Here's the thing about 77 Peppermint at 5.2mg: it is a mint can with the sweetness taken out. 77, the Polish brand from Luna Corporate, puts it in its Light line, two dots on the lid, and its own words for the flavour are dry and bold peppermint. Dry is the word to hold onto. Where many mints carry a sweet layer, this one lets the peppermint stand on its own. No fruit, no ice, no sweet finish. Just peppermint, standing up straight.
Peppermint with the sugar left out
The first pouch is like a strong peppermint tea left to go cold, bold and herby with a proper peppermint bite and almost nothing sweet behind it. The cooling is there but it comes from the peppermint itself rather than an added frost, so it feels dry and clean on the gum rather than icy. Through the load that dryness holds, and the flavour stays sharp from the first pouch to the twentieth. The finish is crisp and leaves everything feeling clear. Fair play to it.
5.2mg a pouch and the rungs above
The number here is 5.2mg a pouch, our light band, which runs from 1mg to 8mg. In 77's four step ladder it is the bottom rung: Light at 5.2mg, Medium at 10.4mg, Strong at 15.6mg, and then the 20mg Ghost and VB Mini cans up top, which are mini pouches. These are slim pouches, 20 to the can. Uptake is gentle and the curve stays flat, so the bold flavour is doing the work rather than the strength. A big taste on a small number.

Who wants a dry mint, and what to try next
It suits anyone new to snus who wants a mint without the sweet layer, and regulars who like a dry mint after food. If the taste is right and the number is not, 77 Peppermint at 10.4mg is the Medium can with the same bold peppermint and three dots on the lid. Prefer your mint softer and a touch sweeter? 77 Fresh Mint sits on the same rung at 5.2mg. Give it a go.
