Zixs Spearmint, the soft green mint on the 12mg line
Everyone has a chewing gum they reach for without looking, and for a lot of people it is the green packet. Zixs Spearmint is that mint in snus form: softer and sweeter than the peppermint sort, rounder in the mouth, easy to live with all day. It sits in the brand's 12mg Standard Line, the main line Zixs makes, as the gentle mint next to the icy ones. Microzero AB, a family business with its own factory in Gothenburg, Sweden, makes it as an all white, tobacco free pouch. Here's the thing. On a shelf full of cold mints, this is the friendly one.
Sweet spearmint, round and easy, from first pouch to last
Pop one in and the spearmint is there straight away, green and sweet, the taste of the gum you had on the last train home. It is a mellow sort of fresh rather than a sharp one, with a gentle sweetness built into the mint. It holds that shape through the whole load, never drifting sharp, never going flat, and finishes soft and clean. Proper spearmint, done the way the name suggests. Fair play to it.
12mg a pouch, 20 in the can, and Spearmint's spot on the Zixs shelf
Every pouch carries 12mg of nicotine, which is medium on our scale, the band from 8mg to 16mg. It is the number the whole Zixs Standard Line uses, so Spearmint sits level with Cool Peppermint, North Ice -66 and Exotic Chili, not above or below. The only Zixs can on another rung is the Black Cherry Mega Can at 8mg, beneath it. The pouches are slim and white, 20 to a can. The maker's own line on this one is that it has a great spearmint taste, and that is about the size of it. Medium snus, in the soft mint on the Zixs line.

The spearmint crowd, and the two cold cans beside it
This is the can for the snus user who likes mint but likes it soft: the person who picks the green gum over the white every time. If you want the fresh side of the Zixs line without the deep chill, Spearmint is the one to settle on. Want a sharper mint at the same 12mg? Zixs Cool Peppermint is the crisp one next to it. Want it properly cold? Zixs North Ice -66 is the cold one on the same line. Give it a go.
