What it is

What people say
Reviews describe ZYN Menthol Ice as a clean, intensely cooling pouch with a sharp menthol hit, an icy finish and a noticeable eucalyptus note. One detailed ranking notes that it is not simply a stronger Cool Mint but a separate formula with a colder, sharper profile. The same ranking gives it 3 out of 5 stars, suggesting it is less favoured than other mint flavours. Others mention a tingling sensation and a bold, mint-led experience that suits strong-pouch users.

About ZYN Menthol Ice
ZYN Menthol Ice is an extra-strong nicotine pouch built around a sharp menthol base with a pronounced eucalyptus note. The taste is clean and cooling rather than sweet, with an icy mint finish that some reviewers describe as a distinct formula rather than a stronger Cool Mint. At 13.5mg of nicotine per pouch, it is at the highest nicotine level in ZYN's UK range, and the first sensation can be tingly before settling into a steady cooling effect.
To use, the pouch is placed under the upper lip; the manufacturer recommends about 30 minutes, while some product descriptions say up to 40 minutes. It is tobacco-free, produces no vapour or odour, and the can has a 5-dot strength mark and a lid compartment for used pouches. The manufacturer describes the pouch format as Regular, though some online listings call the pouches slim or mini; the manufacturer states 21 pouches per can, while a few listings say 20.
