A can of Apres Banana 11mg

Banana with the Hypèr Strong banner on the lid

Banana is a flavour you do not see on every shelf, so when a can turns up that does it well, the regulars notice. Apres Banana 11mg is the Stockholm brand's banana in its Hypèr Strong range, the spelling with the accent is the maker's own, and it is the top number Apres sends to our shelf. Same white can, same coloured ring, the strength banner across the lid. Apres makes tobacco free nicotine pouches and has done since 2021. Here's the thing. Rich banana and a proper number sound like an odd pairing on paper. In the mouth they get on fine.

Rich banana, smooth sweetness, deeper than the fruit bowl

The shop's own note calls it a fuller banana with added depth, and that is about right. It tastes like the foam banana from the pick and mix rather than the fruit itself: thick, sweet and rounded, with the sweetness kept smooth instead of sugary. It comes on quickly, fills the load, and holds at the same pitch for the whole pouch, with no mint and no second flavour behind it. The finish is soft and sweet. Proper banana, all the way down. Fair play to it.

11mg a pouch, the top of the Apres numbers

Each pouch carries 11mg of nicotine, which sits in the middle of our medium band, 8mg to 16mg. It is the biggest number Apres sells here: the shelf runs 4.4mg and 5.5mg in the mild tier, then 8.3mg for the cans marked Extra Strong and 11mg for the Hypèr Strong ones, where this can lives. So its neighbours are Cola 8.3mg and Appletini 8.3mg below and the other 11mg cans beside it, Blueberry and Mochaccino among them. The uptake is quick and the curve climbs with some purpose. Medium snus that leans toward the upper half of the word.

The banana regulars and the cans beside them

This is a can for someone who already knows they like a medium number and wants a flavour with some sweetness and weight to it. If you have been on Apres Cola 8.3mg or Appletini 8.3mg and want the next rung, this is the Hypèr Strong step with a flavour you will not find on many shelves. It also suits the dessert pouch crowd, the ones who like a can that tastes of something sweet. Next door, Apres Blueberry 11mg is the fruit at the same number, and Apres Mochaccino 11mg is the coffee one for the evening. Give it a go.
