Freezing Peppermint at 14mg, the cold mint on Velo's top rung
Ask for a cold mint on the Velo shelf and this is the can that gets pushed across the counter. Freezing Peppermint is peppermint with menthol behind it, which is where the Freezing comes from, and the 14mg can is the middle of the three strengths the maker sells it in. It comes from BAT's nicotine pouch brand and sits in Velo's Full Strength line, the 14mg to 17mg rung at the top of the ladder. Here's the thing. Crispy Peppermint is the brand's clean mint. This is the same idea with the temperature dropped and the number raised.
Peppermint, then the menthol brings the frost
The peppermint lands first, bright and sharp, and the menthol rolls in behind it like the cold off the sea wall at Whitby in February. The cold wraps around the mint instead of covering it, so it stays peppermint from the first pouch to the last, only colder. Sweetness is kept to a minimum, which leaves it dry and crisp on the gum. That chill does not fade as the load goes on. It finishes cold and clean. Proper winter mint, fair play to it.
14mg a pouch, five dots, between the 10.9 and the 17
Each pouch carries 14mg of nicotine. On our scale that is the top of the medium band, which runs 8mg to 16mg, so it is a step short of strong but a long way past everyday. On the maker's six dot scale it is a five dot can. Velo's ladder has three rungs, Lower Strength at 4mg to 8mg, Regular Strength at 10mg and Full Strength at 14mg to 17mg, and this can opens the top rung. The same Freezing Peppermint recipe runs at 10.9mg below it and 17mg above it. Slim white pouches, 20 to a can. In snus terms it is the big cold mint for people who are not after the biggest.

Who buys the 14mg Freezing Peppermint, and the mints either side
This is a can for the mint snus regular who has been on the 10.9mg Freezing Peppermint and wants the next step, and for anyone who has tried the 17mg and would rather have the same cold with a little less behind it. It also suits people who want their mint dry rather than sweet. Ready to go all the way? Velo Freezing Peppermint at 17mg is the top of the climb. Want the cold with a different feel on the gum? Velo Peppermint Storm at 14mg sits on the same rung. Give it a go.
