Apres Strengths and mg Levels for Snus in Germany

Apres comes in four strengths on our German shelf: 4.4mg, 5.5mg, 8.3mg and 11mg per pouch, spread across 19 cans of Apres snus. On our own scale the two lower figures sit in Light and the two higher ones in Medium, so every Apres snus available in Germany falls between 4.4mg and 11mg. The brand is made by Après Nicotine AB, a young company from Stockholm, Sweden, and Apres is a Swedish brand that produces and sells tobacco free nicotine pouches. If you are weighing up cans from a desk in Frankfurt or a balcony in Leipzig, the chart below shows where each flavour lands before any of the detail.

Strength also shapes how a session is spent. A pouch is kept in for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the user's preference. There is more on how long an Apres lasts for anyone who wants the timing in full, and a separate walk through placing an Apres pouch under the lip, because a figure on a chart becomes far easier to judge once the routine around it feels familiar.

Where Does Each Apres mg Level Sit on Our Scale?

Every Apres strength sits in either our Light band or our Medium band, with 4.4mg and 5.5mg in Light and 8.3mg and 11mg in Medium. Our scale runs Light from 1 to 8mg per pouch, Medium from 8 to 16mg, Strong from 16 to 25mg and Extreme from 25mg upwards, and it is applied to every brand of snus on the shelf in Germany. That matters, because the shop carries cans from 3mg to 150mg, and one ruler laid across all of them is what keeps a comparison fair. Apres, as such, occupies the lower and middle stretch of that ruler, with four clear steps and nothing crowded in between.

Why use our scale rather than the words printed on the can? Because names such as Extra Strong and Hyper Strong describe where a can sits inside the Apres range, while our bands describe where it sits among everything else we stock. Both are useful, but they answer different questions. So, a reader in Berlin comparing Apres Hyper Strong with a can from another brand can line the two up by band first, then by the exact mg per pouch. Once the band is settled, flavour can take over, and the best Apres flavours on our shelf are set out in order for anyone who would rather start from taste.

How Can You Tell Which Apres Line a Can Belongs To?

Apres labels its 4.4mg, 8.3mg and 11mg lines Normal, Extra Strong and Hyper Strong, and each one is marked on the can in its own way. The design is shared across the range: a white can with a coloured ring, the word Après in a serif type, a number written with N° above it, the flavour name in capitals and the words nicotine pouches beneath. Strength is the part that changes, and it is easy to spot once you know where to look.

How Do the Dots and Banners Work?

On the lids we have seen, a row of small dots sits at the edge and signals strength. The Extra Strong design adds a small black tab reading Extra Strong, while the Hyper Strong design repeats the word Hypèr around the rim and carries a red banner reading Hypèr Strong with five dots. The accent on Hypèr is the brand's own spelling, so the lid and the product name can look slightly different on paper while meaning exactly the same line. Whatever the lid says, the mg per pouch in the chart stays the figure to compare.

What Does the N° Number Tell You?

The N° number identifies the flavour rather than the strength, so it helps you find a familiar taste quickly but says nothing about nicotine on its own. Apres Menthol is N°1, Apres Cola is N°4, Apres Blueberry is N°12, Apres Mochaccino is N°13 and Apres Hugo Spritz is N°15. The full story of how the brand groups its lines, from Zero and Mini through Normal to the two stronger names, sits in a guide to every Apres line, and on our shelf in Germany the Normal, Extra Strong and Hyper Strong cans are joined by one limited edition.

How Do You Turn Apres mg/g Into mg per Pouch?

Multiply the mg/g figure by the pouch weight in grams, and the result is the mg per pouch, which is the figure the chart above uses. Apres Normal is 8mg/g and 4.4mg per pouch, the limited edition is 10mg/g and 5.5mg per pouch, Apres Extra Strong is 15mg/g and 8.3mg per pouch, and Apres Hyper Strong is 20mg/g and 11mg per pouch. The mg/g figure describes the concentration of nicotine in the filling, while the mg per pouch figure describes what one portion holds, and only the second tells you what you are actually placing under your lip.

Anyone who has bought printer paper in Germany already knows the logic. The A4 format tells you the size of the sheet, the grams per square metre tell you how dense the paper is, and only the two together tell you what one sheet actually weighs. In a pouch, mg/g plays the part of paper density, the pouch weight is the sheet, and mg per pouch is what ends up in your hand. Across different brands, pouch sizes vary, and that is where the per pouch figure does the real work, because a high concentration in a small pouch and a modest concentration in a large one can land at the same number.

Inside each pouch, the filling combines plant fibre, water, flavourings, salt, a sweetener and nicotine, with no tobacco at all, and there is more on who makes Apres and what goes into it. Readers in Cologne, Stuttgart or anywhere else in the country asking where to find Apres in Germany have a page of their own as well.

Which Apres Cans Sit at 4.4mg and 5.5mg?

The two gentlest Apres cans on our German shelf are Apres Blueberry 4.4mg in the Normal line and Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition 5.5mg. Both sit in our Light band, and between them they cover the two lowest steps of the Apres ladder.

Blueberry at 4.4mg

Apres Blueberry 4.4mg carries 8mg/g and the number N°12 on its lid. Blueberry is also one of the flavours that reappears at the top of the ladder, which makes it a useful reference point for the whole range. A reader who settles on blueberry as a flavour can stay with it from 4.4mg right up to 11mg, changing only the strength and keeping everything else the same.

Limoncello Dicapri at 5.5mg

The Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition holds 10mg/g, which places it between Normal and Extra Strong at 5.5mg per pouch. Its lid reads Après Limoncello Dicapri, with the words Limited Collaboration along the bottom, so it stands apart from the numbered cans at a glance. As a limited edition, it sits outside the three regular lines, yet its strength fits neatly into the gap between them.

What Flavours Does Apres Offer at 8.3mg per Pouch?

At 8.3mg, Apres offers Appletini, Cactus Lime, Cola, Apres Ice Tea Peach 8.3mg, Lemon Curd, Menthol and Apres Tangerine Spritz 8.3mg, all in the Extra Strong line at 15mg/g. On our scale every one of them sits at the lower end of Medium, a short step above the Light band. That makes 8.3mg the middle rung of the Apres ladder, and the point where many of the familiar flavour names first appear.

Which 8.3mg Flavours Also Come Stronger?

Apres Cactus Lime, Apres Cola, Apres Ice Tea Peach, Apres Menthol and Apres Tangerine Spritz all continue up to 11mg, so each of them can be compared across two strengths. Apres Appletini 8.3mg and Apres Lemon Curd 8.3mg appear only at 8.3mg on our shelf, which makes them the choice for readers who want a flavour at the middle rung and nowhere else.

Does Menthol Feel Different at 8.3mg?

Apres Menthol 8.3mg is N°1 on the lid, and it is worth a moment of thought, because cooling can make a pouch feel sharper than a fruit pouch at the same mg per pouch, without the printed figure changing at all. A reader moving between Apres Menthol and Apres Cola, which is N°4, at 8.3mg is therefore comparing flavour and cooling rather than nicotine, since both hold the same amount per pouch.

What Apres Flavours Can You Get at 11mg per Pouch?

The Hyper Strong line at 11mg gathers the biggest group of Apres flavours on our shelf: Apres Banana 11mg, Blueberry, Cactus Lime, Cola, Hugo Spritz, Ice Tea Peach, Menthol, Mochaccino, Pink Spritz and Tangerine Spritz. Each Hyper Strong can carries 20mg/g, and each sits in our Medium band, higher in it than the Extra Strong cans. This is the top rung of the Apres ladder, and the only place on our shelf to find several of these flavours.

Which Spritz Cans Does Apres Offer?

Three spritz flavours sit on our German shelf: Pink Spritz and Hugo Spritz at 11mg, and Tangerine Spritz at both 8.3mg and 11mg. Hugo Spritz (N°15 on the lid) carries the name of a drink that will be familiar from summer terraces in Munich, and Pink Spritz completes the trio at the same strength. For anyone who wants a spritz at a lower figure, Tangerine Spritz at 8.3mg is the one to look at, since the other two come only at 11mg on our shelf.

Which Flavours Appear Only at 11mg?

Apres Banana, Apres Mochaccino, Apres Hugo Spritz and Apres Pink Spritz appear only in Hyper Strong on our shelf. Mochaccino is numbered N°13 on its lid. These four are for readers who already know they want 11mg per pouch and are choosing purely on flavour.

Which Apres Flavours Are Sold in a Pair of Strengths?

Six Apres flavours are sold in a pair of strengths on our shelf: Blueberry at 4.4mg and 11mg, and Cactus Lime, Cola, Ice Tea Peach, Menthol and Tangerine Spritz at 8.3mg and 11mg. These pairs are the most useful part of the range for anyone fine tuning a choice, because the flavour stays fixed while the nicotine changes. Changing one thing at a time is the clearest way to tell what made a difference.

Cyclists on the hills around Stuttgart change one gear at a time for the same reason: a single step tells you exactly what the new setting feels like. Apres Blueberry offers the widest jump in the range, from the Light band at 4.4mg to the upper part of Medium at 11mg, while the other five flavours make a smaller step from Extra Strong to Hyper Strong. Either way, the flavour on the lid stays the same, so any difference you notice comes from the mg per pouch alone.

What Apres Strength Makes Sense If You Are Opening Your First Can?

For someone new to snus, the lower end of the Apres ladder is the usual place to begin, which points to Apres Blueberry at 4.4mg or the Apres Limoncello Dicapri limited edition at 5.5mg. For someone who already uses snus, the better reference is the mg per pouch of a can they already enjoy, matched against the chart above. A reader used to around 8mg per pouch can look straight at the Extra Strong cans, while one used to 11mg has the whole Hyper Strong line to choose from.

Flavour comes after strength. A familiar flavour at a settled figure makes for the cleanest comparison, and the cooling of Apres Menthol is worth keeping in mind when moving between mint and fruit at the same mg per pouch. If a can feels like more than you wanted, the nearest lower figure in the same flavour is the natural next step, which is exactly why the paired flavours above are so handy.

Everything we sell is for adults aged 18+, and delivery to Germany is available. When your figure is settled, you can buy snus by strength across every brand and set Apres beside the rest, or step back to our full snus range and see how the four Apres figures compare with everything else on the shelf.
