Snu Flavours Ranked: Which Is Best in the UK?
Key takeaways
- SNU Cherry Cola ranks first on our UK shelf, sold at 9mg, 12mg, 18mg and 45mg per pouch.
- SNU Fizzy Energy, SNU Tropical Punch and SNU Wild Cherry also come at 9mg, 12mg, 18mg and 45mg per pouch.
- 9mg per pouch is the lowest Snu strength, and every flavour except SNU Black Ice has a 9mg can.
- SNU Black Ice comes at 45mg per pouch only, and SNU Watermelon at 9mg only.
SNU Cherry Cola is the best Snu flavour on our UK shelf, and it ranks first because it comes in four strengths: 9mg, 12mg, 18mg and 45mg per pouch. The Snu snus range we stock for the UK runs to eleven flavours, and each one is ranked below by how many strengths it carries, with who it suits written beside it. Think of a Premier League table on a Sunday night, where two Manchester clubs level on points are split by a second measure, because flavours level on strengths are split here in much the same way, by name. The full ladder of Snu strengths and mg levels in the UK has its own page for anyone who wants every rung in detail.
Flavour is only half of choosing snus, because the time a pouch spends under the lip shapes how that flavour comes across. A pouch is kept in for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the user's preference, and how long a Snu lasts goes further into that window. Anyone opening a first tub can read how to use Snu before settling on a flavour, since placement and timing work the same way for every can in the ranking.
| Rank | Flavour | Strengths in the UK (mg per pouch) | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SNU Cherry Cola | 9mg, 12mg, 18mg, 45mg | One flavour at every strength |
| 2 | SNU Fizzy Energy | 9mg, 12mg, 18mg, 45mg | An energy drink taste at every strength |
| 3 | SNU Tropical Punch | 9mg, 12mg, 18mg, 45mg | A punch flavour at every strength |
| 4 | SNU Wild Cherry | 9mg, 12mg, 18mg, 45mg | Cherry on its own |
| 5 | SNU Grape | 9mg, 12mg, 18mg | A single familiar fruit |
| 6 | SNU lemon & Lime | 9mg, 12mg, 18mg | Citrus up to Strong |
| 7 | SNU Strawberry Kiwi | 9mg, 12mg, 18mg | Two fruits in one name |
| 8 | SNU Triple Mango | 9mg, 12mg, 18mg | One named fruit |
| 9 | SNU Fresh Mint | 9mg, 12mg | Mint within Medium |
| 10 | SNU Black Ice | 45mg | Experienced readers at 45mg |
| 11 | SNU Watermelon | 9mg | Summery fruit at 9mg |
How Is This Snu Flavour Ranking Worked Out?
Each Snu flavour is ranked by the number of strengths it comes in on our UK shelf, from four strengths at the top down to one at the bottom. Where flavours are level on strengths, alphabetical order settles the placing, which keeps personal taste out of the ranking entirely. A reader in London, Leeds or Glasgow sees the same ladder, because the strengths are printed per pouch on every tub.
Snu is a nicotine pouch brand, and it names its strengths Low (9mg), Medium (12mg), High (18mg) and Xtra High (45mg per pouch). The Xtra High cans are labelled 60mg per gram, which the brand states as 45mg in each pouch, so the per pouch figure is the one to compare. Our own strength scale uses different bands: 9mg and 12mg per pouch fall in Medium (8 to 16mg), 18mg falls in Strong (16 to 25mg), and 45mg sits in Extreme (25mg and over). The brand's names and our bands are laid out side by side in what the Snu lines are.
For the brand's background, what Snu is answers the questions people ask most often. Then, for the shelf itself, where you can buy Snu in the UK shows how to get hold of every can in the ranking.
Why Is SNU Cherry Cola Ranked First in the UK?
SNU Cherry Cola is ranked first in the UK because it carries all four strengths on our shelf, and alphabetical order puts it ahead of the other three flavours that do the same. SNU Cherry Cola 9mg is the lowest rung, followed by SNU Cherry Cola 12mg, SNU Cherry Cola 18mg and SNU Cherry Cola 45mg, so one flavour stretches across Medium, Strong and Extreme on our scale. That breadth suits someone who settles on a taste early and adjusts strength later, since the flavour stays put while the number moves.
Snu lids carry a scented patch printed with "Rub here to smell the flavour", and the Cherry Cola tub is no exception. So, a reader torn between a cola flavour and a fruit one can compare the two by nose before a single pouch comes out. SNU Cherry Cola suits a reader who likes a cola flavour with cherry in the name, and who wants room to move between four strengths without ever leaving that flavour behind.
Which Snu Flavours Fill the Rest of the Top Four?
SNU Fizzy Energy, SNU Tropical Punch and SNU Wild Cherry fill second, third and fourth place, each sold on our UK shelf at 9mg, 12mg, 18mg and 45mg per pouch. All three match SNU Cherry Cola on strengths, so alphabetical order settles their places. The real difference between them is the flavour itself, which makes this tier the easiest place in the ranking to choose purely by taste.
SNU Fizzy Energy
SNU Fizzy Energy is an energy drink flavour and the newest listing in the Snu range. SNU Fizzy Energy 9mg opens its ladder, with 12mg, 18mg and 45mg cans stacked above it. It suits a reader who reaches for an energy drink taste rather than a fruit, and who wants that taste available at every strength the brand makes.
SNU Tropical Punch
SNU Tropical Punch is a Tropical Punch flavour at 9mg, 12mg, 18mg and 45mg per pouch, and SNU Tropical Punch 9mg is its starting can. It suits a reader who likes the idea of a punch, a flavour name that belongs on a seafront in Brighton in August. With four strengths, the same flavour can follow that reader from Medium to Extreme on our scale.
SNU Wild Cherry
SNU Wild Cherry is a cherry flavour at 9mg, 12mg, 18mg and 45mg per pouch, and SNU Wild Cherry 9mg sits at the bottom of its four strengths. It suits a cherry fan who wants the fruit named plainly, without cola alongside it. For a reader who cannot decide, the two cherry cans can be compared at the same strength, one pouch at a time.
Where Do the Fruit Flavours Sit in the Snu Ranking?
SNU Grape, SNU lemon & Lime, SNU Strawberry Kiwi and SNU Triple Mango fill fifth to eighth place, each at 9mg, 12mg and 18mg per pouch on our UK shelf. None of them has a 45mg can, so this tier tops out at Strong on our scale. Alphabetical order settles the four places, and the placings below follow that rule exactly.
SNU Grape
SNU Grape ranks fifth, with SNU Grape 9mg, 12mg and 18mg cans on the shelf. A single, familiar fruit makes it a straightforward pick for a reader who already knows grape is their flavour, and the three strengths let that reader keep the taste while the figure changes.
SNU lemon & Lime
SNU lemon & Lime ranks sixth, sold as SNU lemon & Lime 9mg, 12mg and 18mg. It is the citrus flavour in the range, and it suits a reader who reaches for a wedge of lemon beside a plate of fish and chips. Three strengths give a citrus fan room to move from Medium up to Strong on our scale.
SNU Strawberry Kiwi
SNU Strawberry Kiwi ranks seventh, a Strawberry Kiwi flavour at 9mg, 12mg and 18mg per pouch. It suits a reader drawn to a pairing of two fruits in one name, the sort of combination that feels at home beside a bowl of strawberries at Wimbledon in London.
SNU Triple Mango
SNU Triple Mango ranks eighth, a mango flavour at 9mg, 12mg and 18mg per pouch, so it suits a reader who wants one named fruit at any of the three strengths up to Strong.
Where Does SNU Fresh Mint Sit in the Ranking?
SNU Fresh Mint ranks ninth, sold on our UK shelf at 9mg and 12mg per pouch. SNU Fresh Mint 9mg is the lower of the two, and SNU Fresh Mint 12mg sits one rung above it, both within Medium on our scale. It is the only Snu flavour with mint in its name, so it suits a reader who wants a mint taste in a range otherwise led by fruit and drinks.
Mint is worth a closer look, because cooling can make a pouch seem sharper than its stated figure would suggest. A mint and a fruit pouch at the same 9mg can leave quite different impressions, so a reader moving from SNU Grape 9mg to SNU Fresh Mint 9mg is changing flavour, not strength. The mg per pouch printed on the tub is the fair comparison, and the cooling is best read as part of the flavour itself.
Which Snu Flavours Come in Just One Strength?
SNU Black Ice and SNU Watermelon each come in a single strength on our UK shelf, Black Ice at 45mg per pouch and Watermelon at 9mg. That places them tenth and eleventh, in alphabetical order, at opposite ends of the strength scale. A single strength gives each of them a fixed place, which makes them two of the simplest cans in the range to choose.
SNU Black Ice
SNU Black Ice is sold by the brand in its Xtra High strength only, which is 45mg per pouch and sits in Extreme on our scale. The name calls to mind a frosty pavement in Glasgow on a January morning. It suits an experienced reader who already settles at 45mg and wants a flavour made solely for that strength.
SNU Watermelon
SNU Watermelon comes at 9mg per pouch on our shelf, the lowest strength in the range. It suits a reader who wants a summery fruit at Medium on our scale, the kind of flavour that belongs to a warm afternoon on the grass at Roundhay Park in Leeds.
Which Snu Flavour Suits Someone New to Snus?
Any Snu flavour sold at 9mg per pouch suits someone new to snus, because 9mg is the lowest strength the range offers on our UK shelf. Every flavour except Black Ice has a 9mg can, so a newcomer can choose by taste first and keep the number on the bottom rung. SNU Cherry Cola 9mg, SNU Strawberry Kiwi 9mg and SNU Fresh Mint 9mg cover a cola, a fruit and a mint at that same strength.
From there, the sensible approach is to change one thing at a time. A reader who likes SNU Grape 9mg and wants more can move to SNU Grape 12mg, keeping the flavour fixed while the strength changes. A reader who wants a different taste can stay at 9mg and swap to SNU Triple Mango 9mg instead. Changing both at once makes it harder to tell which change made the difference. To set Snu beside other brands at a similar strength, you can buy snus from across the shop and compare the mg per pouch on each tub.
Which Snu Flavours Suit a Regular at 18mg or Above?
SNU Cherry Cola 18mg, SNU Fizzy Energy 18mg, SNU Grape 18mg, SNU lemon & Lime 18mg, SNU Strawberry Kiwi 18mg, SNU Triple Mango 18mg, SNU Tropical Punch 18mg and SNU Wild Cherry 18mg all sit in Strong on our scale. That suits a reader who already settles at that figure and wants the widest flavour choice at a higher strength. SNU Fresh Mint and SNU Watermelon have no 18mg can on our shelf, so a mint fan at that level would look to SNU Fresh Mint 12mg as the nearest rung.
Above 18mg, the choice narrows to the Xtra High cans at 45mg per pouch: SNU Black Ice, SNU Cherry Cola 45mg, SNU Fizzy Energy 45mg, SNU Tropical Punch 45mg and SNU Wild Cherry 45mg. That step runs from Strong straight into Extreme on our scale, and the brand labels it 60mg per gram, so the figure on the tub is worth reading twice before an order goes in.
