Black Menthol 11mg, the menthol can with nothing else in it
Ask for a Zyn that is menthol and only menthol and Black Menthol 11mg is the can that gets passed across. There is no fruit in it and no sweet shop twist, just a deep, cold menthol with 11mg of nicotine behind it, which puts it on the middle tier of Zyn's three tier shelf. Here's the thing. Plenty of cans on the Zyn shelf pair their cooling with something, a berry, an apple, a spearmint note. This one does not. It is the straight menthol for people who want the chill and nothing in front of it. Zyn pouches contain no tobacco leaf. Cold, clean and direct, no messing about.
Deep menthol, cold from first pouch to last
The first pouch opens with a wave of menthol that spreads across the gum the way the cold hits when you step out of the pub onto a January pavement. It is cooling rather than sweet, and it stays that way. There is no fruit arriving later and no second flavour under it, so what you get at the start is what you get through the whole load. The chill settles into a steady cold that holds right to the finish, then fades clean. Menthol with one job, and fair play to it for doing it properly.
11mg of menthol, on Zyn's middle tier
Each pouch carries 11mg of nicotine, which puts it in our medium band, the one that runs from 8mg to 16mg. Zyn's shelf has three tiers: 1.5mg to 3.5mg at the foot, 6mg to 13.5mg in the middle and 16.5mg at the top, and Black Menthol 11mg sits in that middle tier with most of the brand's cans. Uptake is quick and the curve climbs early, which suits a flavour this direct. Above it, Zyn Black Menthol 16.5mg takes the same menthol to the top tier and into our strong band. Medium snus, cold all the way through.

For the menthol regular who wants it plain
This is the can for the medium strength regular who picks menthol without thinking about it and does not want fruit in the way. It suits anyone who has been on a mint at this number and fancies something colder and plainer. If 11mg is the right amount, stay here and enjoy it. Want menthol with a eucalyptus note beside it? Zyn Menthol Ice 11mg is the one next door at the same number. Prefer peppermint to menthol? Zyn Cool Mint 11mg is the other cold can on the shelf. And when you are ready for more, Zyn Black Menthol 16.5mg is the same chill with a bigger number. Give it a go.
