Klint - Arctic Mint

Klint Arctic Mint: The All-Rounder

Every pouch brand needs a mint you can use all day without thinking about it. For Klint, that is Arctic Mint. Mint is the base, a mild chill runs underneath, and a distinct menthol note gives it shape. Klint's own word for the result is "well-rounded", which sounds like faint praise until you've tried a mint that is all ice and no flavour. Each slim, all-white, tobacco-free pouch carries 11.5mg of nicotine.

Like every Klint, it is made in Sweden by Habit Factory, which produces and packs its pouches in-house.

How Does Klint Arctic Mint Taste?

Less dramatic than the name. Where Freeze Mint goes for maximum cold, Arctic keeps the chill in the background and puts the mint itself up front: fresh, slightly sweet, recognisably spearmint-meets-peppermint rather than pure menthol. The menthol note sharpens it, like a clean edge on a well-made pencil.

It is a steady pouch. The flavour doesn't spike early and crash; it arrives, settles and holds for most of the 30 to 40 minutes Klint suggests. That consistency is the whole appeal. Nobody writes poetry about Arctic Mint, but plenty of people buy it again.

Klint Arctic Mint Strength

Klint's current UK specification gives Arctic Mint as 16.4mg per gram. At 0.7g a pouch, that is 11.5mg of nicotine a pouch, rated 5 on Klint's six-step scale. You may see "20mg" on older listings for this flavour, which referred to a 20mg/g version (about 14mg a pouch); we go by Klint's current published figure.

All three sit in our high-strength nicotine pouches. None of them is a starter pouch.

Who Arctic Mint Suits

Daily pouch users who want a reliable mint. People who find very icy pouches harsh on the gum. Anyone moving from a mid-strength mint who wants a firmer dose without a flavour that shouts. It is also the easiest Klint to recommend to a friend, precisely because it is hard to dislike.

It is not for complete beginners; 11.5mg is a serious figure if you've never used a pouch. Our low-strength nicotine pouches are a better starting point. And if you want your gums to feel like they've been left in the freezer, Freeze Mint is the better buy.

Where Arctic Mint Fits

It is the middle child of the Klint mints, and that's meant kindly. Colder than you'd guess from how smooth it is, gentler than Freeze, much lighter than Avalanche. If you like mint but want some fruit in it, Apple Mint has the same nicotine dose and no ice at all. The full range, with a strength table, is on our Klint snus page, and the minty flavour collection covers mints from every brand we stock.
