Menthol

Black Note Menthol Tobacco uses menthol extracted from genuine organic peppermint leaves (Mentha arvensis), not synthetic menthol or artificial cooling agents. The menthol extract is combined with sun-cured organic Oriental tobacco through Black Note’s natural extraction process. This approach delivers a crisp, refreshing menthol finish layered over authentic tobacco flavor. Black Note’s menthol products are also pulegone-free, as pulegone is a compound the FDA delisted from food additive regulations in 2018.

Black Note Menthol Tobacco and Special Blend Menthol are confirmed pulegone-free. Pulegone is a naturally occurring compound in some mint varieties that the FDA removed from its approved food additives list in 2018. Black Note sources its menthol from Mentha arvensis and processes it to exclude pulegone. This applies to all menthol formulations including 50VG/50PG, 70VG/30PG, and Salt Nicotine versions of both Menthol Tobacco and Special Blend Menthol.

Black Note Special Blend Menthol is a coil-friendly version of the original Menthol Tobacco. Both use the same menthol extract from organic peppermint leaves and sun-cured Oriental tobacco base. Special Blend Menthol undergoes an additional distillation and purification process that significantly reduces coil gunk, allowing approximately 8ml of use on a single pod coil before performance drops. The original Menthol Tobacco delivers a slightly richer, more full-bodied menthol tobacco taste but may produce more residue on coils over time.

Black Note Menthol Tobacco freebase (50VG/50PG and 70VG/30PG) is available in Ultra Lights Menthol (3mg or 6mg), Lights Menthol (12mg), and Full Flavors Menthol (18mg), plus zero nicotine. Menthol Tobacco Salt Nicotine comes in 20mg, 30mg, and 50mg. Special Blend Menthol Salt Nicotine also offers 20mg, 30mg, and 50mg options. All menthol formulations are free from artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, pulegone, and synthetic nicotine.

Black Note Menthol Tobacco is designed to replicate the experience of popular menthol cigarette brands such as Newport, Kool, Salem, Camel Crush, Pall Mall Menthol, and American Spirit Menthol. Special Blend Menthol specifically targets the Newport Menthol cigarette flavor profile. The Ultra Lights (3mg/6mg) option parallels light menthol cigarettes, Lights (12mg) matches medium-strength menthol brands, and Full Flavors (18mg or 50mg salt) provides the intensity of full-flavor menthol cigarettes.

Black Note Menthol Tobacco 50VG/50PG and Menthol Tobacco Salt Nicotine are best suited for mouth-to-lung (MTL) pod systems with coils at 0.8 ohm or higher, at power settings not exceeding 15 watts for salt nicotine or 18 watts for freebase. Menthol Tobacco 70VG/30PG is designed for sub-ohm and direct-to-lung (DTL) devices at medium to higher wattage. The MTL setup delivers the most cigarette-like menthol experience with a tight draw and defined throat hit.

Black Note Menthol Tobacco is made from sun-cured organic Oriental tobacco leaves combined with menthol extracted from genuine organic peppermint leaves. The tobacco undergoes traditional cold maceration to produce a natural extract, and the peppermint-derived menthol is added during formulation. No synthetic menthol, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, or synthetic nicotine are used. The Oriental tobacco base contributes a light, aromatic character that complements the natural peppermint menthol.

Black Note Special Blend Menthol is specifically engineered to minimize coil buildup. It undergoes an additional distillation process after natural extraction that removes plant particles and residues that typically gunk coils. The product page notes that efficient usage allows approximately 8ml of Special Blend Menthol Salt Nicotine on a single pod coil before performance drops. This is significantly longer than most flavored or sweetened e-liquids, which often degrade coils within a few milliliters.

Black Note Menthol Tobacco contains organic tobacco extract from sun-cured Oriental tobacco leaves, natural menthol extract from organic peppermint leaves (Mentha arvensis), USP Kosher Certified vegetable glycerin (VG), USP propylene glycol (PG), purified water, and nicotine derived from tobacco leaves. Salt nicotine formulations also include benzoic acid. All menthol products exclude pulegone, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, synthetic nicotine, diacetyl, acetyl propionyl, and acetoin.
