Green Spearmint, the gentle 6mg on the Velo shelf
Some people want the strongest can on the shelf. Plenty of others want the one they can keep going all day, and for them Velo makes Green Spearmint. It sits in the Lower Strength line, the 4mg to 8mg end of the brand BAT began in Sweden, at 6mg a pouch. It has had a few names in its time, Mint and Witty Spearmint among them, and it is a Swedish range can rather than a British one. The flavour is a sweet mint with cooling menthol. Simple as that, and no messing about.
A sweet mint that cools rather than bites
The mint here is on the sweet side, closer to a mint humbug than to toothpaste, and it comes in soft. Then the menthol opens up behind it and gives the whole thing a cool, airy lift, like stepping out of a warm pub into a crisp night. It is never sharp. The sweetness and the cool hold hands through the load, and the finish is light and clean. Mint for people who want fresh rather than fierce.
6mg a pouch, the light band done properly
Every pouch carries 6mg of nicotine, which puts it in our light band, 1mg to 8mg. On Velo's own ladder that is the Lower Strength line, 4mg to 8mg, below Regular Strength at 10mg and Full Strength at 14mg to 17mg. Within the lower line it sits a step beneath the 8mg cans like Bright Spearmint and a step above the 4mg ones. The pouches are slim and white, 20 to a can. The curve is slow and even, which is exactly what a 6mg snus should be.

Who reaches for the green can
This is the mint for the beginner, the all day user, and anyone who likes a can that stays in the background. If you are new to snus and want a mint to learn on, this is the one. If you are a regular on stronger cans and want something for the evening, it fits that too. Ready for a step up? Velo Bright Spearmint at 8mg is the same family with a bit more behind it, and Velo Crispy Peppermint at 10mg is the next rung after that. Give it a go.
