Cool Mint 9mg, where Zyn's mint first goes slim
There is a point on the Zyn shelf where the mint stops being a Mini and becomes a proper pouch, and Zyn Cool Mint 9mg is that point. It is the brand's classic peppermint and menthol in the slim pouch, the longer moist format the maker now calls Regular, with three dots on the lid. The pouch contains no tobacco leaf, so what you get is mint, cold and nicotine with nothing to distract from them. Here's the thing. The 6mg can below and the 11mg can above get most of the talk, and this one sits between them doing the steady work. Plenty of regulars never move off it.
Peppermint out front, menthol holding the cold
Pop one in and the peppermint is there straight away, bright and clean, like the first extra strong mint from a fresh packet at the newsagent. The menthol arrives a beat behind and takes care of the cooling, even and steady rather than sharp. Because the slim pouch is moist the flavour gets going early and holds level through the load, with no dip in the middle and no fade at the end. The finish is crisp and leaves the mouth clear. No sugar, no fruit, no second act. A composed mint with more to it than the Minis. Fair play to it.
9mg a pouch, the first medium rung on the Cool Mint climb
Each pouch carries 9mg of nicotine, which puts it in our medium band, the one that runs from 8mg to 16mg, just inside the door. On Zyn's shelf it belongs to the middle tier, 6mg to 13.5mg, with the 1.5mg to 3.5mg Minis beneath and the two 16.5mg cans on top. Cool Mint is the longest run the brand makes: 3mg and 6mg below this can, 11mg one rung higher in the same format, then 13.5mg in the XX-Strong and 16.5mg in Cool Mint Max. Uptake is quicker than a Mini and the curve has a little lift without rushing. The pouch is slim and moist to the touch. Medium strength snus, at the gentle end of medium.

For the mint regular stepping off the Minis
This is the can for anyone who has been on Zyn Cool Mint 6mg and wants the slim pouch without jumping straight to 11mg, and for the medium band user who likes a plain, cold mint that behaves the same every time. It suits the all day regular who wants one flavour and a number that never surprises them. When 9mg starts feeling comfortable, Zyn Cool Mint 11mg is the next rung in the same pouch. Prefer a greener, softer mint at this exact number? Zyn Spearmint 9mg sits right beside it on the shelf. Give it a go.
