Best Nordic Spirit Flavour in Germany, All Eight Ranked

Nordic Spirit Mint takes the top place among the flavours on our German shelf, offered at 9mg and 11mg per pouch. It heads a ranking of eight flavours across the Nordic Spirit snus collection, with Frosty Mint second and Tropical Mix, the one flavour offered only at 6mg per pouch, eighth. Nordic Spirit is a JTI brand, every pouch in the range is tobacco free, and each standard can holds 20 pouches.

Every one of the 16 cans on the German shelf carries one of three strengths: 6mg, 9mg or 11mg per pouch. On our own scale, the Nordic Spirit Strengths and mg Levels in Germany place 6mg in Light and both 9mg and 11mg in Medium, so the whole brand sits in the gentler part of a shelf that climbs a long way higher. Most users leave a pouch in place for somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on preference, and the fuller answer to How Long Does a Nordic Spirit Last in Germany? holds for every flavour in the ranking.

In What Order Do the Nordic Spirit Flavours Rank?

The order is the shop's own, and it pairs each named flavour with the mg per pouch figures on the German shelf and with the Dry or Moist label printed on the can. The four mints fill the top four places, and the four fruit flavours follow. Three of the mints reach 11mg per pouch, while Frosty Berry is the only fruit flavour that does.

A ranking of this sort reads best as a Bundesliga squad sheet rather than a league table. Every name still has a place in the squad, whether the reader is in Stuttgart, Düsseldorf or anywhere else in Germany, and the table above shows exactly where each flavour fits by strength and style.

The technique is the same for every flavour, and How do you use Nordic Spirit? covers it for any can. The Dry and Moist labels come from the way the range is organised, which is set out under What are the Nordic Spirit lines?, and the background on the brand sits under What is Nordic Spirit?. Readers ready to order will find Where can you buy Nordic Spirit in Germany? in the same collection.

Which Nordic Spirit Mint Flavours Rank Highest?

Nordic Spirit Mint ranks highest of the four mint flavours, followed by Frosty Mint, Sweet Mint and Spearmint. Between them, the mints cover every strength the brand offers on our shelf, from 6mg to 11mg per pouch, and they include both pouch styles, so the mint family offers a choice of strength and style without leaving the flavour.

1. Nordic Spirit Mint

Nordic Spirit Mint 9mg is our first choice on the shelf, and Nordic Spirit Mint 11mg carries the same named flavour at the top of the brand's range. Nordic Spirit Mint belongs to the Dry range, which the maker describes as a drier feel with a bold flavour release and a steady nicotine experience. Its pouch is a soft white material made from plant based fibre and gum base.

Nordic Spirit Mint suits a reader who wants a plainly named mint at Medium strength, with no fruit or sweetness in the name. It fits a long working day at a desk in Frankfurt as easily as a quiet weekend in Hamburg. And, because Nordic Spirit Mint is offered at both 9mg and 11mg per pouch, the strength can be chosen without changing the flavour name.

2. Nordic Spirit Frosty Mint

Nordic Spirit Frosty Mint 9mg ranks second, and Nordic Spirit Frosty Mint 11mg sits beside it at the higher Medium figure. Nordic Spirit Frosty Mint is a Moist flavour, carrying more moisture for a softer feel and a quicker flavour release, which makes it the Moist counterpart to the Dry Nordic Spirit Mint.

Nordic Spirit Frosty Mint suits a reader who prefers the Moist style and wants a mint flavour at 9mg or 11mg per pouch. Both Nordic Spirit Mint and Nordic Spirit Frosty Mint come at these two figures, so the pair can be set side by side at matching nicotine content.

3. Nordic Spirit Sweet Mint

Nordic Spirit Sweet Mint 6mg ranks third, and Nordic Spirit Sweet Mint is the only flavour on our German shelf offered at all three strengths, with Nordic Spirit Sweet Mint 9mg and Nordic Spirit Sweet Mint 11mg completing the set. Nordic Spirit Sweet Mint is Moist, so it shares the softer feel and quicker flavour release of Frosty Mint.

Nordic Spirit Sweet Mint suits a reader who wants Sweet Mint at 6mg per pouch, which falls within Light on our scale, or the same named flavour at 9mg or 11mg per pouch in Medium. For a reader in Leipzig or Munich who wants one flavour name across the widest spread of strengths, it is the most flexible can in the brand.

4. Nordic Spirit Spearmint

Nordic Spirit Spearmint ranks fourth and comes as Nordic Spirit Spearmint 6mg and Nordic Spirit Spearmint 9mg. Nordic Spirit Spearmint is the second Dry flavour alongside Nordic Spirit Mint, with the same drier feel and bold flavour release.

Nordic Spirit Spearmint suits a reader who wants a Dry pouch at Light strength, because it is the only Dry flavour on our shelf offered at 6mg per pouch. The 9mg can then gives the same flavour at Medium strength.

Which Nordic Spirit Berry and Fruit Flavours Follow?

Nordic Spirit Frosty Berry leads the four fruit flavours, followed by Raspberry, Forest Berries and Tropical Mix. All four are Moist, so the softer feel and quicker flavour release are shared across the fruit half of the ranking, and the choice comes down to the flavour name and the mg per pouch beside it.

5. Nordic Spirit Frosty Berry

Nordic Spirit Frosty Berry ranks fifth and is the only fruit flavour on the German shelf that reaches 11mg, offered as Nordic Spirit Frosty Berry 9mg and Nordic Spirit Frosty Berry 11mg. It carries the Frosty name that Frosty Mint also carries, which places it neatly between the two halves of the ranking. Nordic Spirit Frosty Berry suits a reader who wants a berry flavour at 9mg or at the higher Medium figure of 11mg per pouch.

6. Nordic Spirit Raspberry

Nordic Spirit Raspberry 9mg ranks sixth, and Nordic Spirit Raspberry 6mg offers the same flavour at Light strength. Nordic Spirit Raspberry at 9mg is the brand's Strong level, so a reader who wants Raspberry with more nicotine per pouch has a direct step up without changing the flavour name.

Nordic Spirit Raspberry suits a reader who prefers a single, clearly named fruit to a blend, at either 6mg or 9mg per pouch.

7. Nordic Spirit Forest Berries

Nordic Spirit Forest Berries ranks seventh and comes as Nordic Spirit Forest Berries 6mg and Nordic Spirit Forest Berries 9mg. It shares 6mg and 9mg per pouch with Nordic Spirit Raspberry, so the two can be compared directly at either figure, with the difference coming down to the flavour name on the can. Nordic Spirit Forest Berries suits a reader who prefers a berry mix by name to a single fruit.

8. Nordic Spirit Tropical Mix

Nordic Spirit Tropical Mix 6mg ranks eighth and is the one Nordic Spirit flavour on our German shelf offered at a single strength, 6mg per pouch, which places it in Light on our scale. Nordic Spirit Tropical Mix leaves berries and mint behind and brings a tropical flavour to the range instead. It suits a reader who wants that flavour at Light strength, and it sits alongside Nordic Spirit Sweet Mint 6mg for anyone who likes to keep one mint can and one fruit can in rotation.

What Is the Difference Between Dry and Moist Nordic Spirit Snus?

Dry Nordic Spirit snus has a drier feel with a bold flavour release and a steady nicotine experience, while Moist Nordic Spirit snus carries more moisture for a softer feel and a quicker flavour release. On our shelf in Germany, Nordic Spirit Mint and Nordic Spirit Spearmint are Dry, and the other six flavours (Frosty Mint, Sweet Mint, Frosty Berry, Raspberry, Forest Berries and Tropical Mix) are Moist.

The packs are labelled Dry or Moist, so the style is printed on the can rather than left to guesswork. The Moist cans have also been redesigned with a slimmer can and a more premium feel in the hand, and the can has a place in the lid for used pouches. So, a reader who likes a flavour but wants the other style has a clear place to look.

The closest Dry and Moist pair in the range is Nordic Spirit Mint against Nordic Spirit Frosty Mint, since both come at 9mg and 11mg per pouch. Comparing them at the same strength keeps the nicotine figure matched while the pouch style and flavour name change.

Which Nordic Spirit Strong Flavours Are on the Shelf in Germany?

Nordic Spirit Strong, the brand's 9mg level, comes in seven flavours on our shelf in Germany, and the brand's top level at 11mg comes in four. The 9mg flavours are Mint, Frosty Mint, Sweet Mint, Spearmint, Frosty Berry, Raspberry and Forest Berries. The 11mg flavours are Mint, Frosty Mint, Sweet Mint and Frosty Berry, and the brand's Regular level at 6mg covers Sweet Mint, Spearmint, Raspberry, Forest Berries and Tropical Mix.

On our scale, both the 9mg and 11mg levels fall in Medium, which runs from 8 to 16mg per pouch. Words such as Strong are the brand's own shorthand, handy for browsing within Nordic Spirit, while mg per pouch is the more reliable figure when comparing with another brand. Paradoxically, the four flavours at 11mg are almost the same four that head the ranking, with Frosty Berry standing in for Spearmint, so a reader who wants the highest Nordic Spirit strength on our shelf gives up very little choice of flavour.

Is Nordic Spirit Strength Given in mg per Pouch or mg/g?

Every Nordic Spirit strength on our German shelf is given in mg per pouch, the amount of nicotine in one single pouch. A figure in mg/g counts nicotine per gram of filling instead, and the two numbers describe the same pouch in different ways.

To turn a per gram figure into mg per pouch, take the mg/g number and multiply it by what a single pouch weighs in grams. Two cans can share a per gram figure and still hold different amounts per pouch when their pouches weigh differently, which is why the per pouch number is the one to compare. As such, when a strength appears without its unit, checking whether it is per pouch or per gram comes before any comparison between two cans.

Which Nordic Spirit Pouches Sit at the Light 6mg Level in Germany?

Five Nordic Spirit flavours come at 6mg per pouch on our German shelf: Sweet Mint, Spearmint, Raspberry, Forest Berries and Tropical Mix. All five fall in Light on our scale, which runs from 1 to 8mg per pouch, and each is a standard can of 20 pouches.

Nordic Spirit Spearmint 6mg is the Dry option at that figure, offering the drier pouch style of the top ranked flavour at Light strength. Nordic Spirit Sweet Mint 6mg is the Moist mint at 6mg, and it keeps 9mg and 11mg available under the same flavour name. For fruit, Nordic Spirit Raspberry 6mg, Nordic Spirit Forest Berries 6mg and Nordic Spirit Tropical Mix 6mg are the three Moist choices.

A reader who prefers to move one step at a time can change only one thing between cans: the flavour, the strength or the pouch style. That being said, the ranking above shows which flavours allow a change of strength without a change of name, and Sweet Mint is the clearest example with its three figures.
