A can of Cuba Black Cold Dry 43mg

Cold Dry, Cuba's cold mint, at the 43mg end

Every brand has a mint that the regulars treat as the default, and on the Cuba shelf that is Cold Dry. Cuba Black Cold Dry is the cold mint in Cuba's Black line, the brand's 43mg line, made in Poland by Nicotobacco, the factory behind every Cuba can. Black is the line for people who already run extreme snus and want the brand's flavours with a far bigger number under them. Cold Dry is the plainest and coldest thing on that shelf: no fruit, no sweetness, just cold mint. For a lot of extreme snus users that is exactly the point.

A crisp, cold mint with the sweetness left out

The taste is cold mint, crisp and clean, like opening the back door on a January morning. The cooling hits straight away and keeps going for the whole load, and the mint behind it is sharp rather than sweet. There is no fruit in it and no sugar to soften the edge, so what you get is cold, then mint, then more cold. The Black line's dark undertone sits well under a mint this plain. The finish is clean and cool. No messing about.

43mg of nicotine under the cold, and Cuba's other rungs

Every pouch carries 43mg of nicotine, which is our extreme band, 25mg and upward. Cuba runs three lines a long way apart. White is the everyday rung at 10.4mg a pouch. The Ninja line begins at 15.6mg and stretches up to its 150mg cans. Black sits at 43mg, far above White and the standard Ninja, and only the top Ninja cans go higher. Uptake is fast and the curve stays up for the whole pouch. Slim black pouches, 20 to a can. Extreme snus in its plainest form.

Cold mint people at the extreme end, and the next can

This is the can for the experienced extreme snus user who picks mint by habit and wants it cold, with nothing sweet in the way. It suits anyone who has run Cuba White Cold Dry and wants the same cold mint with a much bigger number behind it. If 43mg is more than today needs, Cuba White Cold Dry is the identical mint at 10.4mg. On the Black rung, Cuba Black Ice Spearmint is the spearmint next to it, and Cuba Black Double Fresh is the other strong, cooling mint on the shelf. Give it a go.
