Shift Cool Peppermint, the mint in Velo's six sided can
You will spot this one before you read it, because the can is not round. Velo Shift is the brand's newest line, launched in Sweden, built around a pouch with rounded edges that the maker calls its Comfort format, and it comes in a six sided can. Every Shift can is 8mg, and Cool Peppermint is the mint of the family. The Hot cans carry a warming sensation; this one carries a cooling one. Peppermint, cool, and a pouch shaped differently from anything else on the Velo shelf. Here's the thing. The shape gets it noticed. The mint is what keeps it in the pocket.
Clean peppermint with a cool breath behind it
Peppermint is the straight talking mint, the one in a white mint from the glove box, and that is what leads here. It is clean and crisp rather than sweet, and the Cool in the name adds a fresh, cooling feel on the gum that runs alongside the flavour. The rounded pouch sits softly against the gum, which changes how the whole thing feels as much as how it tastes. The mint holds steady through the load, and the finish is cool and clear. Mint done simply, and proper comfortable with it.
8mg a pouch, the Shift standard
Every pouch carries 8mg of nicotine. On our scale that is the bottom of the medium band, 8mg to 16mg, and on Velo's ladder it is the top of the Lower Strength line, 4mg to 8mg, below Regular Strength at 10mg and Full Strength at 14mg to 17mg. The whole Shift line sits at 8mg, so the choice within it is about flavour and feel, not number. The pouches are the rounded Comfort format rather than slim, 20 to a six sided can. An easy going snus with an unusual shape.

Who picks the cool one out of the Shift line
This is the can for the mint user who is curious about the Shift pouch and wants to try it on a flavour they already know. If you are on Velo Bright Spearmint at 8mg and fancy the same number in the new format, this is the straight swap. It also suits anyone who likes their mint crisp rather than sweet. Want to see what the Hot side of Shift does? Velo Shift Hot Peach and Hot Grape carry the same 8mg with warmth instead of cool. Want the mint colder in a classic can? Velo Crispy Peppermint at 10mg. Give it a go.
