LOOP Strong – Smooth Mint 9.4mg

A rounded, everyday mint with no chilli and no ice blast, LOOP Smooth Mint 8.9mg is the straightforward mint of the LOOP range in a slim Strong pouch. Older cans carried the name Mint Mania, and it is the flavour to start with if you are new to the brand and prefer to skip the chilli. Swedish shops have stocked it since March 2020, so it is one of the brand’s original flavours.

How the slim pouch sits

Each pouch weighs about 0.63g and is cut long and narrow, so it tucks flat under the top lip and stays discreet. The filling is white plant fibre rather than tobacco, moistened and flavoured. Twenty of them fill a 12.5g can, and water sits second on the ingredient list, right after plant fibre.

Mint that stays mellow

The mint is soft and slightly sweet rather than icy, so it holds steady instead of peaking early. Think of a gentle peppermint gum rather than a menthol lozenge, a taste that will not tire the palate over a long day. For a colder mint at the same strength, look at LOOP Ice Cool Mint Strong 8.9mg.

Smooth Mint 8.9mg in the strength line
