Collection: six flavours at 12mg
Collection is where the Kurwa range begins. Every can is 12mg a pouch, the medium band on our scale, with 20 slim white pouches inside. On the lid it reads K#RWA Collection, followed by the flavour. Start with the mint, because its name needs a word of explanation. Strong Mint is an intense, icy peppermint with a cool finish and no fruit in it at all. The word Strong describes the mint. The pouch is 12mg, like every other can in the line. Then come the two fruits with Ice in the name. Blueberry Ice is sweet, ripe blueberry, slightly tart, with a fresh mint twinge to finish. Grape Ice is sweet dark grape with something of the sweet shop about it, and the same fresh mint lift.
The other three go their own way. Fizzy Cherry is sweet, ripe cherry with a fizzy lift, in the manner of a cherry soda, and a cool finish. Triple Mango is sweet, juicy ripe mango with a smooth finish and a light cooling touch. The maker says it blends three mango varieties, which is where the name comes from. Double Apple is red and green apple together, the sweet ripe red against the crisp, tart green, with a light spicy note behind them. It is the one flavour that belongs to Collection alone. Side by side, the six cover mint, berry, grape, cherry, mango and apple at a single strength. If a medium can is already your usual, start here.
