CLEW – Menthol 10mg

Menthol is the compound that gives mint its chill, and CLEW Menthol 10mg puts that cold sensation front and centre in a strong slim pouch. If you want the icy feel more than a sweet mint taste, this is the CLEW to reach for. Each of the 20 slim pouches weighs about 0.7g and carries 10mg of nicotine.

CLEW menthol compared with mint flavours

Menthol pouches swap sweetness for a sharper, frosty feel that spreads across the gums. CLEW flavours this can with L-menthone and peppermint oil, so a mint backbone still sits beneath the cold. If Spearmint tastes too sugary to you, menthol is the cleaner swap, and Wintergreen, with its floral sweetness, sits further away again.

Next to NEAFS Menthol Strong 12mg

NEAFS Menthol Strong 12mg covers similar ground with 2mg more nicotine per pouch. If 10mg occasionally leaves you wanting a little more, that is a modest step up, whereas CLEW’s own next level jumps straight to 20mg. Heading the other way, Stockholm White Slim Arctic Menthol Strong 8mg keeps an icy theme at 2mg less.

When menthol works well

A cold, sharp pouch makes a good wake-up after lunch or before a long meeting. It also suits hot days, when a cooling pouch feels more refreshing than a sweet one, and it cuts cleanly through the taste of coffee. At 14mg per gram, the dose is firm without being punishing. Of the two menthol strengths sold here, CLEW Menthol 10mg is the one to start with.
