What people say
Reviewers describe it as a strong mint pouch with a quick nicotine hit and a balanced menthol-and-peppermint taste. One source calls the flavour crisp and the kick extra strong. However, a separate review gives the flavour an average rating, describes the product as high quality, and notes the pouch is dry and sharp-cornered with a slow start.

About VELO Peppermint Storm
The flavour is built around a sharp menthol hit with an icy peppermint note underneath. Opening the can gives a strong mint aroma, and the pouch itself tastes balanced rather than sugary, with a slight sweetness and a noticeable cooling effect. Some users find VELO pouches noticeably salty, which can affect the overall impression. The flavour typically lasts around 40 to 45 minutes before fading.
The pouch format is slim, soft and moderately moist, fitting comfortably under the lip without feeling bulky. The nicotine delivery is quick and sits between strong and extra strong, so it suits people with some tolerance. One review calls the product high quality but notes that mint pouches are common and this one does not stand out much beyond the strong menthol experience.
