Clew Menthol Slim Moist Nicotine Pouches 5mg

The Clew mint range offers four distinct profiles: Cool Mint, Spearmint, Menthol and Wintergreen. Each targets a different nuance within the broadly popular cooling mint category. Cool Mint is the classic peppermint-cooling option with a crisp, sharp character. Spearmint has a sweeter, more herbal profile. Wintergreen delivers the distinctive American candy-mint note familiar from some snus and chewing gum traditions. Menthol is the most direct: it is the pure cooling option that puts the physical chill sensation at the front of the experience, with less emphasis on a specific mint flavour and more on the clean, revitalising cool that menthol is known for.

This positioning makes Clew Menthol particularly relevant for users who were previously menthol cigarette smokers. The UK ban on menthol cigarettes came into force in May 2020, and many menthol smokers have sought alternatives that replicate the specific cooling sensation they associated with their chosen cigarette. Nicotine pouches with a menthol profile are one of the products that have benefited from this shift: they provide the familiar chill in a tobacco-free, smokeless format that can be used anywhere.

Nevcore Innovations produces Clew Menthol to the same cGMP and HACCP manufacturing standards as the rest of the Clew range. The pharmaceutical-grade nicotine, certified production environment and food-grade flavourings give the product a consistent, quality-assured experience across every can. The bright green can design of Clew Menthol visually signals the herbal, natural cooling character of menthol, distinct from the deeper blue of Cool Mint.

The Clew Menthol 5mg product at VapeCity is the entry strength. Higher strengths of 10mg, 15mg and 20mg are available from specialist pouch retailers for users whose nicotine requirements are higher than the 5mg level provides. The 20mg option, when available, delivers a substantial effect appropriate for heavy nicotine users; the 5mg is the accessible, moderate starting point.

Menthol as a compound produces a distinctive cooling sensation by activating cold-sensing receptors in the mouth and throat without actually lowering temperature. The perceived chill is a physiological response to the compound, which is why menthol feels so much more intensely cooling than peppermint or spearmint alone. Clew Menthol uses this property as its primary character: the sensation on placement is one of freshness and chill, arriving within the first minute and building across the early stage of the session.

The brand describes Clew Menthol as delivering "a powerful punch of menthol flavour that will leave you feeling revitalised." The "no-nonsense" and "clean finish" descriptors emphasise the directness of the profile: this is not a layered or complex flavour but a clear, focused menthol experience designed for users who want exactly that and nothing more. There is no sweetness added, no fruit note and no flavour modification: just clean, pure menthol cooling.

The moist slim format contributes significantly to how Clew Menthol is experienced. Moist pouches activate faster than dry-format alternatives, with the menthol character becoming noticeable within 30 to 60 seconds of placement. For a menthol product, this fast activation is particularly satisfying because the cooling sensation is the primary value: the faster it arrives, the more immediate and complete the experience. Over the course of the 20 to 40 minute session, the menthol presence will sustain across the first half and gradually taper as the pouch depletes.

For users who find the Cool Mint profile slightly too flavour-forward, Clew Menthol represents the simpler, more focused alternative. Where Cool Mint has a noticeable peppermint taste alongside the cooling, Menthol puts the chill itself at the centre of the experience. Both are legitimately refreshing; the difference is one of character and emphasis, and the right choice depends on whether the user wants flavour-plus-cooling or cooling-as-the-primary-event.

The 5mg strength makes Clew Menthol a light nicotine option suitable for users at the gentle end of the nicotine spectrum. It is appropriate for occasional nicotine users, light smokers or vapers who currently use low-strength products, or anyone making their first exploration of nicotine pouches who wants to begin at a manageable level. At 5mg, the nicotine effect is present but mild: a steady, even presence across the session without the strong or fast-onset hit associated with higher-strength products.

For ex-menthol cigarette smokers specifically, it is worth noting that cigarettes deliver a variable nicotine dose typically in the range of 10mg to 15mg per cigarette depending on the brand and individual smoking pattern. At 5mg, Clew Menthol will feel lighter than a cigarette in its nicotine effect for most former smokers. Users who find 5mg insufficient may want to consider the 10mg Clew Menthol available from specialist retailers, which would be a closer match for the nicotine level of a light cigarette.

The slim moist format places the pouch horizontally under the upper lip. At 5mg and in the moist format, Clew Menthol is comfortable for extended periods, including all-day sessions where a user wears one pouch at a time throughout the day. The menthol sensation provides a consistent sense of freshness that many users find agreeable during activities where smoking or vaping is not appropriate, such as during meetings, on public transport, in offices or in enclosed spaces.

At £34.99 per pack from VapeCity, Clew Menthol provides a practical supply for regular use. With 20 pouches per can and the pack format, users who settle on Clew Menthol as their everyday product have a convenient purchasing format available alongside fast UK delivery.

The technique is the same as for any slim nicotine pouch. The moist Clew format means the menthol cooling sensation arrives quickly, within the first minute, without needing any special technique.

Menthol is one of the most established flavour categories in nicotine pouches, with options available from most major brands. Here is how Clew Menthol 5mg compares to the key alternatives.

ZYN Menthol Ice is one of the strongest menthol options in the UK ZYN range, available at 13.5mg. The ZYN product uses a dry slim format and is positioned for experienced, high-tolerance users. Compared to Clew Menthol at 5mg, ZYN Menthol Ice is considerably stronger and in a different format. The menthol cooling in ZYN Menthol Ice is intense at 13.5mg; Clew Menthol 5mg is the accessible, lighter-strength alternative for users who want menthol cooling without the high nicotine commitment.

Velo Ice is BAT's menthol-adjacent offering in a slim format, typically around 10mg. The Velo product uses a dry format and a profile that combines menthol cooling with an icy quality. At 10mg dry, it is double the strength of Clew Menthol 5mg moist. For a more comparable experience in terms of strength, Clew Menthol 10mg from specialist retailers would be the closer match.

Nordic Spirit Polar Mint at 9mg is another widely available menthol-category option, using a dry slim format from Japan Tobacco International. It emphasises a particularly sharp, clean mint character. At 9mg dry format it is again considerably stronger than the 5mg Clew Menthol moist option.

Within the Clew range, Menthol is the most cooling-focused of the four mint variants. Users who want slightly more flavour complexity can step toward Clew Cool Mint for the peppermint-plus-cooling balance. Users who want the sweetest mint note can choose Clew Spearmint when it becomes available, or Clew Wintergreen for the distinctively American-style mint character.
