N°4 Cola, the Extra Strong one
Every brand with a cola can has to answer the same question at the counter: is it the fizzy pop from the fridge or the syrup from the fountain? Apres Cola 8.3mg is the latter, a classic sweet cola from the Stockholm brand, N°4 on the lid, and this version is the one the shop lists as Extra Strong, which is the maker's name for 8.3mg. White can, coloured ring, number above the name, the usual Apres uniform. The brand has made tobacco free nicotine pouches since 2021. Here's the thing. Cola is one of the flavours regulars judge a brand by. This one holds up.
Sweet cola syrup, fuller at this number
It tastes like the cola bottle sweets from the newsagent, the sugar coated ones, with the fizz left on the shelf: sweet, a touch tangy, rounded rather than sharp. The shop's note says the cola notes feel fuller here as the number goes up, and that is the honest read. It comes on quickly, settles into a smooth sweetness with a little caramel depth, and holds that shape from the first pouch to the last. No mint behind it, no cherry, no vanilla. The finish is clean and sweet. Proper cola, fair play to it.
8.3mg a pouch, the lower cola step
Each pouch carries 8.3mg of nicotine, which sits at the bottom of our medium band, the one running from 8mg to 16mg. Apres sells four numbers here, 4.4mg and 5.5mg in the mild tier, then 8.3mg and 11mg in the tier the shop calls The Aperitivo Strength, and this can sits on the lower of those two. Apres Cola 11mg is the same N°4 at the rung above, and Appletini 8.3mg and Cactus Lime 8.3mg are the cans beside it. Uptake is brisk, the curve has a bit of lift and the drip stays behind the sweetness. Medium snus, at the end where medium starts.

Cola people, and the rung above this one
This is the can for someone who likes a sweet, familiar flavour and wants a number with a little more lift than the mild Apres cans give. If you have been on 4.4mg or 5.5mg and fancy a step up, 8.3mg is the first one. It also suits a regular from another brand's cola who wants to try a Swedish take at a medium number. When 8.3mg starts to feel settled, Apres Cola 11mg is the same flavour with the Hypèr Strong banner, and Apres Appletini 8.3mg is the crisp fruit at this step. Give it a go.
