A can of Helwit Strawberry 4.5mg

Helwit Strawberry, summer in a white can

Walk past a pick your own field in June and that smell is what Helwit Strawberry is going for. It is the strawberry can in Helwit's Regular line, the 4.5mg tier in the middle of the brand, and like every Helwit it is made by YOIK AB at its own factory at Gransholm, a short way out of Växjö in southern Sweden. The lid is the brand's white target with the rings in the flavour's colour, the name curved over the top and Nicotine 3/4 in small type near the bottom, which is the maker's own strength mark for this tier. Here's the thing. There is no mint and no second fruit in here. It is strawberry and nothing else, no messing about.

Sweet strawberry with nothing in its way

Pop one in and it is ripe strawberry straight away, sweet and soft, the kind you get from a punnet left in the sun rather than a jar of jam. There is a light juiciness to it that keeps the sweetness from sitting heavy, and the flavour holds steady through the load. It does not sharpen, it does not cool, and nothing else turns up halfway through. The finish is gentle, the sweetness fading off slowly rather than stopping dead. A single fruit, done plainly, and proper summer with it. Fair play to it.

4.5mg, the 3/4 mark, and Helwit's three lines

Every pouch carries 4.5mg of nicotine, which lands it in our light band, 1mg to 8mg. Helwit's own ladder has three steps: Standard at 3.5mg, Regular at 4.5mg where Strawberry sits, and Strong, which runs from 6mg up to 9mg. The maker marks the same thing on the lid as Nicotine 3/4, the third of its four grades. The pouches are slim, 20 to a can, and the can weighs 10g. There is no tobacco in them; the maker's wording is that the nicotine is extracted from tobacco leaf and the leaf itself stays out. Light snus with a clear fruit on top.

Strawberry regulars, and the Helwit fruit either side

This is a can for anyone who likes a sweet fruit and a low number, whether that is someone new to snus or a regular who wants an easy daytime can. If you are on Helwit Cherry at the same 4.5mg, Strawberry is the softer, sweeter sister, and Pear is the third fruit at this number. Want more behind the berry? Helwit Blueberry 9mg sits at the top of the Strong line. Want it lighter? Raspberry Liquorice at 3.5mg is the Standard line's berry. Give it a go.
