Menthol Nicotine Pouches UK: Which CLEW Flavour Is Right for You?

For adult users (18+) only. Nicotine is an addictive substance. This article is intended for existing adult consumers and is not a recommendation to begin using nicotine products. CLEW pouches are not suitable for non-smokers, those under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or anyone with a medical condition affected by nicotine. Do not chew or swallow the pouch.

CLEW's mint and menthol range covers four flavours: Cool Mint, Spearmint, Wintergreen and Menthol. All four are tobacco-free, all four are available in 5mg, 10mg, 15mg and 20mg, and each has a distinct cooling profile — from mild and slightly sweet through to rounder, fuller menthol and more pronounced, herbal notes.

Menthol and mint pouches are the most-searched category in the UK, and for good reason. The cooling sensation sits naturally alongside nicotine, and the flavour holds up well through a full 45-minute session without becoming cloying. This guide breaks down what each of CLEW's four cooling flavours actually feels like, so you can pick the one that suits your day.

The mint and menthol range at a glance

Spearmint — the gentle starting point

Spearmint is the mildest flavour in the range. The cooling is soft and the taste carries a light natural sweetness that keeps things easy to enjoy through the day. It's the most approachable option for anyone new to mint nicotine pouches, and works well as a lighter daytime choice for experienced users who want something that doesn't compete with food or drinks. The flavour stays consistent through the session — no sharp spike, no sudden drop.

Cool Mint — the everyday all-rounder

Cool Mint is CLEW's most popular flavour, and probably the one to try first if you're picking between the four. The balance sits in the middle of the range — crisper and more defined than Spearmint, without being demanding. You get a clean, refreshing mint character within the first couple of minutes that stays steady through the rest of the session. Cool Mint suits most users at most times of day. If you're not sure where to start in the range, this is the natural first choice.

Menthol — the classic profile

CLEW Menthol has a smooth, rounded cooling character. Where Cool Mint feels crisp and fresh, Menthol feels fuller — a rounder, more enveloping sensation that many experienced users associate with traditional menthol products. It sits at a similar intensity to Cool Mint but delivers a different character. For users who find standard mint profiles a little too angular, Menthol offers a softer, more familiar alternative.

Wintergreen — the most pronounced

Wintergreen is the most intense of CLEW's cooling flavours. The cool holds strongly through the session and there's a slightly herbal note that sets it apart from a standard mint. It's a deliberate choice rather than a subtle one — suited to users who want a more definite cool, or something with more character to switch to when their usual mint feels a touch familiar.

Which strength should you choose?

All four flavours are available in 5mg, 10mg, 15mg and 20mg. The flavour profile stays consistent across strengths — what changes is how much nicotine each pouch delivers.

If you're new to nicotine pouches, always start at 5mg regardless of prior nicotine experience. Pouches absorb through the gum in a way that feels different from inhaled formats, and a strength that looks unremarkable on the label can land harder than expected. Starting low lets your body adjust before you decide whether to move up.

Nicotine is highly addictive. CLEW Pouches UK products are intended for adult users (18+) only. They are not suitable for non-smokers, those under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or anyone with a medical condition that could be affected by nicotine. Do not chew or swallow the pouch. If in doubt, please consult a healthcare professional.
