XPCT's clean peppermint

Some flavours need a paragraph and some need a word. XPCT Mint is peppermint, fresh and clean, in an all white slim pouch at 8mg a pouch. That strength sits right at the start of the medium band on our scale. XPCT is made by LIW Innovation AB and developed in Hökerum, Sweden, and the pouches are tobacco free. The maker's current range is six flavours and this is the mint, the one most people try first when they meet a new brand. No fruit, no spice, no clever twist. Peppermint, done simply.

What it tastes like

The maker calls it a fresh and clean peppermint taste, and there is not much to add. Peppermint comes through straight away, cool and bright, and stays that way. Tastes like a mint straight from a fresh packet. There is no sweetness fighting it and no fruit underneath, so the flavour is clear all the way through. Fresh at the start, fresh at the end. For anyone who wants a mint to taste of mint, this is the uncomplicated answer.

How strong it is

Each pouch carries 8mg, which places XPCT Mint on the line where the light band on our scale ends and the medium band begins, 8mg up to 16mg. Call it medium, at its gentlest. The maker suggests that if you prefer a moister pouch you can add a little water to the can, which is a small but handy thing to know. On our shelf, XPCT Cola/Ginger and Liquorice sit a touch higher at 8.4mg, and Raspberry/Mint and Mango & Pineapple step up to 10.4mg. So this mint is an easy everyday number, with the flavour doing more of the work than the strength.

Who it is for

XPCT Mint suits snus users who want a clean peppermint for the whole day and a strength that stays comfortable. It is a good fit for anyone who likes mint and does not want fruit in it, and for people moving from a light can who want the first step into medium.

If you want mint with fruit alongside it, XPCT Raspberry/Mint is the next can along. For plain peppermint at 8mg, this is the one. Sold.
