NEAFS – Menthol Extra Strong 16mg

Straight menthol at the top of the scale: NEAFS Menthol 16mg packs the brand’s highest dose into a slim pouch of about 0.6g, with 25 to a can. There is no fruit and no sweetness here, just cooling and a heavy dose. Retail listings class it as menthol, the same as Ice Cool, but this is the plainer of the two.

XStrong and four drops: reading the NEAFS Menthol 16mg lid

NEAFS grades its cans with a row of four drop icons under the strength word. Regular fills two, Strong fills three, and this XStrong can fills all four. On this site the same can is rated Ultra Strong, one band above Extra Strong. The dark teal colour is shared with the 8mg and 12mg Menthol tins.

When a 16mg menthol is the right call

This can suits people who already use 12mg menthol pouches and find them fading too soon, or who want one pouch to carry them through a long block of time. If your search for a 16mg snus is really a search for plain menthol, this is the NEAFS answer. It is not a starting point for newcomers, who will find the 8mg can a much easier introduction.

Against CLEW Menthol 20mg

CLEW Menthol 20mg is the next step for anyone who outgrows this can: 4mg more per pouch, 28.57mg per gram and 20 pouches to the tin. If 16mg already feels like plenty, the NEAFS can gives you five more pouches at a lower peak. Both are slims, so the choice rests on dose and count rather than pouch style.
