Spearmint 6mg, the dry side of Nordic Spirit
Ask for a mint at the counter and half the time what you actually want is spearmint, the softer, greener one. Nordic Spirit Spearmint 6mg is that can. The brand belongs to JTI, began in Sweden in 2018, has been on UK shelves since 2019, and now has its pouches produced in Poland. This is the 6mg rung, labelled Regular by the maker, and it belongs to the Dry side of the range, the maker's term for its drier pouch, built from plant based fibre and gum base. Here's the thing. Dry does not mean dull. It means the flavour comes out bold and stays put.
Sweet spearmint with a crisp menthol lift
The opening is spearmint the way a stick of green chewing gum does it, sweet and leafy, then a crisp menthol freshness arrives behind it and opens everything up. The two run together through the load, the sweetness keeping the menthol from going sharp and the menthol keeping the sweetness honest. Because it is a dry pouch the flavour release feels bold and even rather than quick and wet. It finishes clean and cool, with the green note the last to leave. Proper spearmint. Nothing fancy, nothing missing.
6mg a pouch, first of three spearmint rungs
Each pouch carries 6mg of nicotine, the light band on our scale, which covers 1mg to 8mg. Nordic Spirit's ladder has three steps, 6mg, 9mg and 11mg, and spearmint is made at all three, so this can is the start of a full climb. The pouches are slim and white, 20 to a can, and the lid has a space for the used ones. Uptake is gentle, the curve is a slow one and the drip is low, which is what you want from light snus. A mint for the whole afternoon rather than a jolt.

Who the green can is for, and the next step up
This suits people new to snus who want a mint that is friendly rather than fierce, and anyone who prefers the sweeter leaf to peppermint. It also makes a good daytime can for regulars who keep something lighter in the pocket. Ready for more behind it? Nordic Spirit Spearmint 9mg is the next rung, same green mint, 9mg a pouch, and there is an 11mg above that. Fancy sweeter still? Nordic Spirit Sweet Mint 6mg sits at the same strength on the Moist side. Give it a go.
