North Ice -66, the Zixs mint built for the cold
Some mints are fresh and some are cold, and Zixs North Ice -66 is firmly the second sort. It is the icy mint on the brand's 12mg Standard Line, the main Zixs line, and the name does the describing: north, ice, and a number the maker writes with a little degree sign after it on its own site. Microzero AB, a family business in Gothenburg, Sweden, makes Zixs in its own factory, all white and tobacco free. Here's the thing. There is no fruit here and no soft edge. It is a cooling mint that leans all the way into the cooling, no messing about.
Ice first, mint underneath, and the cold stays
Picture the first lungful of air on the five a side pitch in January and you have the opening. The cold arrives before the mint does, a sharp, clean chill across the gum, and then the mint settles in under it and holds the whole thing together. It is not a sweet mint; it is a frosty one, crisp all the way through the load. The chill does not thin out as the pouch goes on, and the finish is as cold as the start. Proper icy mint, exactly as the lid promises.
12mg a pouch, and North Ice -66 on the Zixs Standard Line
Every pouch carries 12mg of nicotine, which is medium on our scale, the band from 8mg to 16mg. That is the number the whole Zixs Standard Line sits at, so North Ice -66 is level with Spearmint, Cool Peppermint and Exotic Chili rather than a step above them. The one Zixs can on a different rung is the Black Cherry Mega Can at 8mg, below. The pouches are slim and white, 20 to a can, and the same icy mint comes as a 320 pouch Mega Can with a refill can on the back. Medium snus with a cold front.

Who picks North Ice -66, and the mints beside it
This is the can for the mint snus user who wants mint at its coldest and is not interested in anything sweet. If Cool Peppermint is fresh enough for most days but you want the chill turned up, this is the step. Going through cans fast? Zixs North Ice -66 Mega Can is the same icy mint in a 320 pouch tub with a refill can included. Want the opposite mood, softer and sweeter? Zixs Spearmint is the gentle one on the same line. Give it a go.
