Alp Chilled Mint 18mg tastes like cool, smooth mint that minds its manners, with 18mg a pouch behind it. That's the top of Alp's range and the shop's strong band. One for regular snus users who buy strong tins and like their mint calm, clean and nicely chilled.

A can of Alp Chilled Mint 18mg

Fridge door mint, top shelf strength

You know when you open the fridge on a warm day and stand there a second longer than you need to? Chilled Mint is that sort of cool. Not the freezer, the fridge. ALP Chilled Mint 18mg is a smooth mint with moderate cooling, and ALP itself parks it in the middle of its five mints. The strength is a different story, because 18mg is the top of ALP's range. Calm mint, big number.

What it tastes like

Tastes like a mint that's been told to take its time. ALP's word for it is smooth, and the cooling is pitched at moderate, so it's cool without making a performance of it. As ALP ranks its own mints, Sweet Mint and Spearmint are the lightest and Frostbite is the most intense. Chilled Mint sits happily in between. It's mint all the way through, with no fruit dropping in. The brand also says its pouches are moist.

How strong it is

Each pouch holds 18mg, counted per pouch, the way ALP labels every tin. On the shop's scale that's the strong band, which runs from 16mg up to 25mg. ALP makes each flavour at 6mg, 12mg and 18mg, and it doesn't go any higher than this one. Chilled Mint at 12mg sits in the medium band, and at 6mg it sits in the light band. So you've got the middle mint at the top strength. A smooth flavour with plenty stood behind it.

Who it is for

Chilled Mint 18mg suits you if you use snus regularly, already buy from the strong band, and like your mint smooth. It's a neat step up if you know the 12mg tin and fancy the same flavour with a bigger number. If strong tins are new to you, the 12mg is the one to meet first. And if you're newer to snus altogether, the 6mg Chilled Mint is where to start.

The tin carries 20 pouches, and not one has any tobacco in it. One tin is plenty to find out whether fridge door cool is your temperature. If you'd like more cooling at the same strength, Frostbite also comes at 18mg. Smooth mint, strong band, 20 to a tin. In the basket it goes.
