Menthol Ice at 11mg, the first rung of Zyn's cold ladder
There's a kind of regular who walks in, says the word menthol and nothing else, and leaves with this can. Zyn Menthol Ice 11mg is the brand's cold one, a menthol and eucalyptus snus in the regular pouch, and it sits in the big middle step of Zyn's range where most of the shelf lives. Here's the thing about the name. It is not a fruit with a frosty edge and it is not a sweet mint pretending. It is menthol, the proper deep sort, with a eucalyptus note behind it, and the 11mg underneath keeps it honest. No messing about.
Eucalyptus first, then the deep chill
The first thing you notice is the cold, and it goes a long way down. It is the feeling of the extra strong mint from the newsagent's counter, the one that makes your eyes water, only with a green eucalyptus sharpness riding on top. There is next to no sweetness in it, which is the point, and the flavour stays crisp from the first pouch to the last with no drift towards soft. The finish is clean and cold and stays that way after the pouch comes out. Fair play to it, it does not wander.
11mg, the middle of the medium band in a regular pouch
Each pouch carries 11mg of nicotine, which lands it in our medium band, the one that runs 8mg to 16mg. Zyn on our shelf climbs in three steps: a light 1.5 to 3.5mg step, a wide 6 to 13.5mg step where this can sits, and a 16.5mg step at the top. Menthol Ice has a foothold on all the upper rungs, so above this one you'll find Menthol Ice 13.5mg and then Menthol Ice 16.5mg, the brand's strongest. The pouch is the regular slim, moist type, so the uptake is quick and the curve settles rather than spikes. Medium strength snus with a very cold front door.

For the menthol crowd and anyone climbing towards 13.5
This is the can for people who want cold and mean cold, and who are happy at a medium number. If you have been on Cool Mint 11mg and fancy something with a deeper, sharper chill, Menthol Ice 11mg is the same strength with the thermostat turned down. If it suits you and you want more behind it, Menthol Ice 13.5mg is the next rung up and Menthol Ice 16.5mg sits above that. Still want mint but something softer and greener? Spearmint 11mg is the same number with a herbal lean. Give it a go.
