Apres Strengths and mg Levels: A Snus Chart for Spain

Apres snus comes in four strengths on our shelf in Spain, 4.4mg, 5.5mg, 8.3mg and 11mg per pouch, spread across 19 cans in stock. Most of those cans sit at 8.3mg or 11mg, so nearly the whole range falls in the Medium band of our scale, with the two lowest figures in the Light band. Every can of Apres snus is made by Après Nicotine AB, a young company from Stockholm, Sweden, that produces and sells tobacco free nicotine pouches in different flavours, formats and nicotine strengths.

The difference between Apres 8.3mg and Apres 11mg is easiest to picture with a thermometer. A July afternoon in Seville and a July afternoon in Bilbao both count as summer, yet anyone who has spent one in each city knows the two are far from alike, and 8.3mg and 11mg share a band on our scale in exactly that way.

Where Does Each Apres Strength Land on Our Scale?

Each Apres strength lands in either the Light or the Medium band of our scale, which counts Light as 1 to 8mg per pouch and Medium as 8 to 16mg. The two lower figures, 4.4mg and 5.5mg, sit well inside Light, while 8.3mg and 11mg both fall within Medium, the first just over its lower edge and the second a little further up. The whole Apres range therefore stays inside our first two bands, below Strong (16 to 25mg) and Extreme (25mg and over). For context, the whole shop in Spain runs from 3mg to 150mg per pouch, so the brand keeps to the lower end of a very wide span.

The figure on the can sets how much nicotine each pouch holds, and nothing about the routine around it. How long a pouch stays in is a matter of personal preference, and how long an Apres lasts looks at that more closely. Placement is the same at 4.4mg as it is at 11mg, and how you use Apres covers the first pouch and every one after it. So, once the strength is settled, flavour becomes a decision of its own, and which Apres flavour is best is the natural question to ask next.

What Do the Banners and Dots on an Apres Lid Tell You?

The banners and dots on an Apres lid tell you the strength tier at a glance: Apres Menthol 8.3mg and Apres Lemon Curd 8.3mg are Extra Strong cans, Hypèr Strong cans such as Apres Cola 11mg read 11mg per pouch, and Apres Blueberry 4.4mg is the Normal can. The lids described here are white with a coloured ring, the word Après set in a serif type, the flavour name in capitals and a row of small dots at the edge that marks strength. Extra Strong cans carry a small black tab reading EXTRA STRONG. Hypèr Strong cans go further, with HYPÈR repeated around the rim and a red banner reading HYPÈR STRONG beside five dots, which makes them easy to pick out of a drawer.

The number above the brand name, written N°, deserves a word of its own because it is easy to misread. It works like a shirt number on a La Liga squad sheet, telling you who is who rather than how hard anyone plays. N°13 belongs to Mochaccino and N°15 to Hugo Spritz, and neither number says anything about nicotine. The maker organises its full range by strength, from Zero and Mini through Normal and Extra Strong to Hypèr Strong, and the Apres lines explain how those tiers fit together. For the company behind the cans, what Apres is covers the brand from the start.

Why Is mg per Pouch the Figure to Compare on Apres Snus?

The figure worth comparing is mg per pouch, since it tells you how much nicotine sits in each pouch and reads identically on any can, whoever made it. Dots, tabs and tier names are a brand's own shorthand, handy for finding your way around one range and less precise when you set two side by side. Some products quote nicotine per gram of filling, which is a different measurement altogether. Converting is simple: take the per gram figure and multiply it by what a single pouch weighs in grams, and you arrive at the per pouch number used across our shelf.

Perceived strength is a separate idea again. Menthol brings a cold, fresh feeling to the mouth, so a menthol pouch and a fruit pouch at one and the same figure can leave different impressions even though the nicotine is identical. That is worth remembering with Apres, where Menthol appears at both 8.3mg and 11mg alongside fruit and drink flavours at the same figures. Every Apres can we carry in Spain shows its per pouch figure in its name, which keeps the comparison simple, and where you can buy Apres in Spain sets out the ordering side of things.

Which Apres Flavours Stay Under 8mg per Pouch?

Two Apres flavours stay under 8mg per pouch on our Spain shelf, Apres Blueberry 4.4mg and Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition 5.5mg. Blueberry is the Normal tier of the range, carrying N°12 on its lid, and at 4.4mg it is the lowest figure Apres offers in Spain. Apres Blueberry comes at 4.4mg and again as Apres Blueberry 11mg, the widest gap between two versions of one flavour on our Spain shelf.

The Limoncello Dicapri can stands apart from the tier system. Its lid reads Après Limoncello DICAPRI with LIMITED COLLABORATION along the bottom, and it is a limited edition rather than a permanent part of the range. At 5.5mg per pouch it sits a step above the Blueberry and still inside Light, with a lemon led flavour name. Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition comes only at 5.5mg, so the figure on the lid is the whole story for this flavour. Readers in Spain who want a citrus direction at a higher figure will find it further along, in Apres Cactus Lime and Apres Tangerine Spritz.

What Is on Offer at 8.3mg per Pouch?

Seven Apres flavours are on offer at 8.3mg per pouch, which makes this figure the middle of the range and the entry point to our Medium band. Five of them appear again at 11mg, and two are found at 8.3mg alone, which matters if you want a flavour to stay put while the number moves.

Apple, Cactus Lime and Tangerine

Apres Appletini 8.3mg is an apple flavour found at 8.3mg only, one of the two flavours at this figure with no partner elsewhere in the range. Apres Cactus Lime 8.3mg pairs a desert plant with a familiar citrus, and it carries on at 11mg for anyone who wants the same flavour higher up the scale. Apres Tangerine Spritz 8.3mg follows the same pattern, with an 11mg version beside it. A spritz is a drink that readers from Barcelona to Málaga will picture at once, which makes the name an easy one to remember when you are scanning a shelf.

Cola, Peach Tea, Lemon Curd and Menthol

Apres Cola 8.3mg is the first of two cola options, with an 11mg version above it. Apres Ice Tea Peach 8.3mg is an ice tea and peach flavour that also comes at 11mg. Apres Lemon Curd 8.3mg is the second of the two flavours that stay at this figure alone. Apres Menthol 8.3mg is the N°1 can and the Extra Strong version of the brand's cooling flavour, with Apres Menthol 11mg one tier higher. Because the chill of menthol can colour how strong a pouch seems without altering its figure, the two menthol cans reward reading the number rather than trusting the sensation.

Which Flavours Make Up the 11mg Hypèr Strong Tier?

Ten flavours make up the 11mg Hypèr Strong tier, the highest figure Apres reaches on our Spain shelf and still comfortably inside the Medium band of our scale. Four of them are found at 11mg alone, and six share their flavour with a lower can, which gives this tier the widest choice in the brand.

Spritz and Coffee Flavours

Three spritz flavours sit at 11mg: Apres Hugo Spritz 11mg (the N°15 can), Apres Pink Spritz 11mg and Apres Tangerine Spritz 11mg, the last being the higher version of the tangerine can at 8.3mg. Hugo Spritz and Pink Spritz are found at this figure alone. Apres Mochaccino 11mg, the N°13 can, is the one coffee flavour Apres has on our shelf, a natural fit for readers in Madrid or Bilbao who like the idea of a café flavour, and it too comes at 11mg alone.

Fruit, Cola and Menthol

Apres Banana 11mg is the fourth flavour found at this figure alone, and the one banana in the range. The other five in this group all have a lower partner: Apres Blueberry 11mg, Apres Cactus Lime 11mg, Apres Cola 11mg, Apres Ice Tea Peach 11mg and Apres Menthol 11mg. Moving between the two versions of any of those keeps the flavour name constant while the nicotine per pouch changes, and the red Hypèr Strong banner makes the higher can plain to see on the lid.

Can You Have the Same Apres Flavour at a Lower or Higher mg?

Yes, six Apres flavours come at two strengths on our Spain shelf: Blueberry, Cactus Lime, Cola, Ice Tea Peach, Menthol and Tangerine Spritz. Five of those pairs run from 8.3mg to 11mg, a step that stays inside the Medium band. Blueberry is the exception, running from 4.4mg in the Light band to 11mg in Medium, with nothing in between.

Pairs such as Apres Cola 8.3mg and Apres Cola 11mg are the most orderly way to compare Apres strengths, because they let one thing change while everything else holds still. If you switch flavour and strength in the same move, there is no telling which of the two produced the difference you noticed. Keeping the flavour fixed removes that question entirely. Picture a cyclist on a hill road changing one gear at a time: each change is easy to feel precisely because nothing else moved with it.

How Do Readers in Spain Settle on an Apres Strength?

The clearest way to settle on an Apres strength in Spain is to fix the mg per pouch first and choose the flavour afterwards. For someone new to snus, a lower figure in a familiar flavour keeps the variables small, which points towards the 4.4mg and 5.5mg cans in the Light band. For someone who already uses snus, the most precise reference is the per pouch figure of a pouch they already enjoy, which can then be matched against 8.3mg or 11mg on the Apres shelf.

Strength words help organise a shelf, but they are not a ladder to climb. A step from 8.3mg to 11mg is one option among several, and trying another flavour at the same figure is often the more informative change. Keeping a note of the exact can name, its figure and its band makes the next choice quicker, whether you are in Zaragoza, Alicante or anywhere else in the country.

Delivery is available across Spain, and orders are meant for adults who are 18 or over. When the figure and the flavour are both decided, you can buy snus by strength across every brand we carry, or head back to our full snus range to see where Apres sits beside the rest of the shelf.
