Helwit Mint, the soft one in the white can
Every brand has a plain mint, and this is Helwit's. It sits in the Standard line, the brand's 3.5mg rung, with Nicotine 2/4 printed on the lid, and it is the gentle mint of the two the shop carries from this maker. The maker is YOIK AB, a Swedish company that runs its own plant at Gransholm in Småland, outside Växjö, and Made in Sweden runs down the side of the can. Here's the thing about it. Most mints arrive sharp. This one arrives sweet, and that is what regulars like about it.
A sweet, soft mint that never shouts
The maker calls it a moment of minty sweet delight, and sweet is the word to hold on to. Pop one in and the mint is there straight away, but it is the mint of a soft mint imperial from the glovebox, not the blast of a strong chewing gum. The sweetness sits alongside the fresh note the whole way through, so the load stays rounded from the first pouch to the last. The finish is light and clean. Fair play to it, it is a mint that knows how to behave.
3.5mg behind the mint, on Helwit's Standard rung
Each pouch carries 3.5mg of nicotine, which puts it in our light band, the one that runs from 1mg to 8mg. On the Helwit ladder that is Standard, the first of three steps on our shelf: Standard at 3.5mg, Regular at 4.5mg, and Strong, where the cans run from 6mg to 9mg. Slim pouches, 20 in each can, 10g a can. The uptake is gentle and the curve rises slowly, which is the whole idea at this number. Light snus for people who want the mint to lead.

Mint people, and the colder can next door
This is the can for anyone who likes mint but wants it soft, whether they are new to snus or just prefer a gentle number through the working day. If you want the same brand with a colder, stronger mint, Helwit Menthol 6mg is the next step up, and the maker's own words for that can are this flavour's bigger brother. The maker now calls it Peppermint, so the lid may read either name. For something sweet and unusual at the same 3.5mg, Helwit Violet is the floral can beside it. Give it a go.
