ZIXS North Ice -66 12mg is an icy mint with a cooling character that runs through the whole pouch, at 12mg a pouch. It is the colder of the two ZIXS mints here, medium on the shop's scale, with 20 slim pouches. The one people come back for when cool matters most.

The mint with a number on it

Some mints are named for a leaf, and this one is named for a direction. ZIXS North Ice -66 12mg is an icy, cooling mint in a slim pouch. The maker, Microzero AB of Gothenburg, writes the name as North Ice -66˚, with a degree sign after the number. That's how it may appear on your can. ZIXS is made in Sweden, in the maker's own factory. For anyone who likes their mint on the icy side, this is the place to begin.

What it tastes like

Mint, and a cold one. The flavour is an icy mint with a cooling character that runs through the whole pouch. There's no fruit in the picture and no sweetness competing for the lead. What the name suggests is what arrives, a mint that sits firmly on the cool side. Side by side with ZIXS Spearmint, which is the sweeter and softer of the two, North Ice is the icier option. Two mints, two characters, and this is the cooling one.

How strong it is

Each pouch contains 12mg. The shop places medium between 8mg and 16mg, so North Ice -66 sits in the centre of the medium band. The other standard slim cans from ZIXS on this shelf are 12mg as well, which means choosing between them is a question of flavour alone. Strong starts at 16mg, one band up. Light is anything under 8mg. A medium can with an icy flavour, then.

Who it is for

North Ice -66 suits you if you use snus regularly and like your mint properly cool. If a medium can is already your usual, 12mg matches what you know. It also suits anyone already buying ZIXS at 12mg who wants a mint to sit alongside a fruit can. The same flavour is stocked here in the large Mega Can too, for when you've made up your mind.

A can holds 20 slim pouches, all white and tobacco free. Start here with a single can and find out whether icy is your kind of mint. Icy mint, medium strength, slim format. If you only try one ZIXS mint, try this.
