In a cigarette listing, “menthol” means the tobacco has been treated with menthol — a compound found naturally in peppermint and other mint plants, and also produced synthetically — that adds a cooling, minty sensation to the smoke. When a listing includes “menthol”, “mint”, or a “blast” term, it is describing the flavour and sensation profile of the cigarettes, not the brand, the size, or the pack quantity.
This guide is part of the Yavexio adult tobacco catalogue and is intended for readers aged 18 and over. It explains what menthol and the related terms on product listings mean, and how to compare menthol-style cartons before you order.
What does menthol mean in a cigarette listing?
Menthol is a compound found naturally in peppermint and other mint plants, and it can also be made synthetically. In tobacco products it is added to the blend or the filter to give the smoke a minty taste and a noticeably cooler feel. That is why menthol-style cigarettes are often described as “cool” or “minty” in product notes.
On a product listing, the word “menthol” is a flavour descriptor. It tells you what the cigarettes taste like, not how strong they are or how many packs are in the carton. Strength-type values such as the mg numbers are listed separately on the product page — see our guide to what the 10mg figure on a listing means.
Menthol vs mint: what is the difference?
The two terms are related but not identical. Menthol is the specific cooling compound; mint is the flavour family that includes peppermint and spearmint. In everyday product names the words are often used loosely, so treat them as a general guide rather than a precise specification.
| Term | What it usually describes |
|---|---|
| Menthol | The cooling compound itself, derived from mint plants or made synthetically; adds a cooling, minty sensation |
| Mint | The flavour family (peppermint, spearmint); often signals a mint taste, sometimes combined with menthol |
| Ice blast / blast | A marketing term for a strong cooling or menthol-style profile; often used with capsule-style products |
| Capsule / crush ball | A small capsule in the filter that releases flavour when crushed; whether a specific product has one is shown in the product details |
None of these terms is a health claim. A menthol or mint descriptor refers to taste and sensation only.
Which Yavexio listings use menthol-style terms?
The current Yavexio catalogue includes several cartons with menthol, mint, or blast terms in the product name. These records were read from the live catalogue at the time of writing:
- Marlboro Ice Blast Mega 8mg (Japan) Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs)
- ESSE Menthol (Mechanical Green) Super Slim – 1 Carton (10 Packs)
- ESSE Change Mint Ice Blast 4mg – 1 Carton (10 Packs)
- MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 – 1 Carton (10 Packs)
- MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 – 1 Carton (10 Packs)
- Manchester Double Drive Blueberry Mint – 1 Carton (10 Packs)
The name alone tells you the flavour direction, but the product page is the place to confirm details such as the mg figure, pack type, and sale unit before you order.
How to compare menthol-style cartons before you order
- Read the full product name — menthol, mint, and blast terms appear in the title of the listing.
- Check the mg figure on the product page. It is listed separately from the flavour term and refers to the value printed on the pack.
- Confirm the sale unit. Yavexio cartons are listed as one carton containing 10 individual packs unless the page says otherwise.
- If a flavour detail matters to you, compare the records in the Cigarette Cartons and Brand Catalogue rather than assuming from a short label.
If you are unsure whether a particular carton suits you, contact Yavexio support before ordering.
FAQ
Is menthol the same as mint?
No. Menthol is the cooling compound; mint is the flavour family. The terms are related — menthol is derived from mint plants — but a product can be described as minty without being labelled menthol, and vice versa.
Does “menthol” mean the cigarettes are stronger?
No. Menthol describes flavour and sensation, not strength. Strength-type values such as the mg numbers are listed separately on the product page.
Does a menthol or mint label change the pack count?
No. Flavour terms do not affect the sale unit. Yavexio cartons are listed as one carton containing 10 individual packs unless the page says otherwise.
