Nordic Spirit Icy Peppermint Moist Nicotine Pouches

Peppermint with the cooling turned up is the short description of this one. JTI make it as a moist pouch so the cold starts early, in the slim format, 20 pouches per can at 0.65g each, tobacco free. There is one nicotine level, 11mg per pouch, which puts it above the entry strengths in the brand.

What Icy Peppermint tastes like

Peppermint is the clearest of the mints, sharper and more defined than plain mint, and the cooling here runs alongside it from the start because the pouch is moist. Nordic Spirit Frosty Mint is the closest thing to it, but that one keeps the mint plainer and leans harder on the cold, and it is available at higher nicotine levels.

Moist and Dry explained

Icy Peppermint is a moist pouch. Moist means moisture is added in manufacture, which gives near immediate flavour release, faster nicotine absorption and moderate drip, with a session of around 25 to 35 minutes. Dry pouches take the other approach. They use minimal moisture, so the release is gentler and more controlled and takes a few minutes to develop, drip is very low and sessions run 30 to 60 minutes, which JTI put at 15 to 20 percent longer. For a cooling flavour, moist gets the cold working from the first minute.

Which Nordic Spirit strength should I choose?

There is a single strength, 11mg per pouch, which is 17.2mg per gram. That is a step above the brand's entry level and it is aimed at people who already use pouches or who smoked regularly before switching, rather than anyone starting out. If 11mg feels like too much under the lip, a 6mg or 9mg mint from the Nordic Spirit range will be more comfortable. If it is not enough, the 17mg cooled flavours at 24mg per gram are the only step left.

How to use Nordic Spirit nicotine pouches

1. Take one pouch from the can and close the lid again.
2. Place it under your top lip, off centre, and press it gently against the gum.
3. Give it up to 30 minutes, which is what JTI state for a session. Chewing it or swallowing it is not how the pouch is meant to be used.
4. Remove it, park it in the lid compartment, and empty that into a household bin.
