Black Menthol 16.5mg, the plain menthol taken to the top of Zyn's shelf
Ask for the strongest plain menthol on the shelf and this is the can. Black Menthol 16.5mg is Zyn's menthol with no fruit, no mint sweetness and nothing else riding along, carried to the top tier of the brand's ladder. It is the bigger of the two Black Menthol cans, the step above the 11mg, and 16.5mg is as high as Zyn goes. Here's the thing. The other cans at this number carry peppermint or eucalyptus alongside their menthol. This one skips all that and goes straight to the cold. Proper menthol, proper number, no messing about.
Menthol with nothing in its way, and a colder finish
Pop one in and the menthol is on the gum straight away, deep and cold, the kind of chill that fills the whole mouth rather than sitting on the tongue. There is no peppermint sweetness over the top and no eucalyptus either, just the menthol itself, which makes it cleaner than it sounds. It is the pouch equivalent of stepping out of a warm pub into a January night. The cold holds flat and even through the load, with no climb and no fade, and finishes exactly as cold as it started. Fair play to it.
16.5mg a pouch, our strong band, and the 11mg can beneath it
Each pouch carries 16.5mg of nicotine, which puts it in our strong band, the one that runs from 16mg to 25mg, right at the foot of it. On Zyn's shelf it is the top tier, the 16.5mg cans, above the 6mg to 13.5mg middle and the 1.5mg to 3.5mg Minis. Black Menthol is a ladder of two rungs: Zyn Black Menthol 11mg below, and this can at the top. Uptake is quick and the curve climbs early and holds high, which is what a number like this is for. Strong snus, cold, and nothing else in the can.

For the Black Menthol 11mg regular who wants the top rung
This is the can for the Black Menthol 11mg regular who wants the top rung with the same plain chill, and for the strong snus user who likes menthol better than mint. It suits anyone who wants one cold flavour with nothing in the way. If 16.5mg is the right amount, this is where the menthol ladder tops out. Want the same number with peppermint in it? Zyn Cool Mint Max 16.5mg sits beside it. Prefer eucalyptus alongside the menthol? Zyn Menthol Ice 16.5mg is the third can on the top tier. Give it a go.
