Apres Lines Explained: The Apres Snus Lines in Spain

The Apres lines in Spain are three core strength lines and one limited edition: Normal at 4.4mg per pouch, Extra Strong at 8.3mg, Hyper Strong at 11mg and the Limoncello Dicapri can at 5.5mg. All four belong to the tobacco free Apres snus range, and on our Spain shelf they are organised by nicotine per pouch first, with flavour settling the rest.

The maker is Après Nicotine AB, which describes itself as a young company from Stockholm, Sweden, and presents Apres as a Swedish brand that produces and sells tobacco free nicotine pouches. So, although these cans are sold as snus on our shelf, there is no tobacco leaf in any of them, only nicotine held in a plant fibre pouch. Every figure sits together in the Apres strength chart for Spain, while the lines themselves are easiest to grasp side by side. These cans are intended for adults who are 18 or over.

How Do the Apres Lines Differ From Each Other?

The Apres lines differ by nicotine per pouch, while the can design and the ingredient list stay consistent from one line to the next. Moving from Normal to Hyper Strong is therefore a climb within one family, not a switch to a different kind of product. The divisions of Spanish football make a fair comparison, since the rules and the pitch are identical at every level, yet the pace changes noticeably as a team goes up. Apres steps from 4.4mg in Normal to 8.3mg in Extra Strong and then to 11mg in Hyper Strong, with the Limoncello limited edition sitting at 5.5mg between the first two.

The line name is a strength label rather than a timer. A pouch is kept in for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the user's preference, and the guide to how long an Apres pouch lasts goes through that range in more detail. The routine of placing and removing a pouch is the same in Normal and Hyper Strong alike, so the steps for using Apres apply to whichever can you open.

Flavour is where taste takes over from arithmetic. Our ranking of the best Apres flavour in Spain sorts the shelf by flavour rather than by line, which suits readers who know what they want to taste before they settle the strength. Anyone who has already chosen a strength, on the other hand, can simply stay within one line, because every flavour inside it carries the same mg per pouch.

Which Company Is Behind Apres Snus?

Apres snus comes from Après Nicotine AB, a Swedish limited company based in Stockholm whose stated purpose is to develop, produce, market and sell nicotine products. The trade marks and product names on its cans belong to that company, and every can on our Spain shelf appears in the maker's own range under the same flavour name.

The maker organises its range under five strength headings, Zero, Mini, Normal, Extra Strong and Hyper Strong, with the last spelled Hypèr on its site and on the lid. Our Spain shelf carries the Normal, Extra Strong and Hyper Strong lines, together with the Limoncello can, which the maker tags as a limited edition. Every standard can has a net weight of 11 grams, and the maker says the can is made of recyclable plastic and should be sorted as plastic once it is empty.

Every Apres can lists the same kind of ingredients on the maker's pages: a filler, water, plant fibre, flavourings, salt, nicotine and a sweetener, with a thickener, a stabiliser and an acidity-balancing agent alongside. There is more on the company in what Apres is and who makes it, and the practical side of getting a can in hand is set out in where to buy Apres in Spain.

Which Apres Snus Is the Lightest Line?

Normal is the lightest Apres snus line on our Spain shelf, and its can here is Apres Blueberry 4.4mg. At 4.4mg per pouch it sits in the Light band of our strength scale, and it is the lowest Apres figure we stock.

Blueberry is an easy flavour to begin a comparison with, since most people already have a clear sense of what blueberry should taste like before the lid comes off. It also has an unusual reach across the range, because Apres Blueberry 11mg carries the same flavour in the Hyper Strong line, so Blueberry runs from the lightest Apres line to the strongest. On the lid, the Blueberry can wears N°12 above the Apres name, with a coloured ring around the white can and a row of small dots at the edge marking its strength.

What Makes the Apres Limoncello Can a Limited Edition?

Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition 5.5mg is a limited edition because the maker tags it as one, and its lid reads LIMITED COLLABORATION along the bottom. The top of the lid reads Après Limoncello DICAPRI, which sets it apart from the numbered core cans at a glance.

At 5.5mg per pouch, the Limoncello can sits between Normal and Extra Strong, inside the Light band of our scale and a little above Apres Blueberry 4.4mg. Its place in the range is closer to a temporary exhibition at the Prado in Madrid than to a new wing of the building: it hangs beside the permanent collection and offers a change of subject, while the core lines carry on around it. Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition 5.5mg carries a lemon led flavour name, and it suits a summer evening on the Costa del Sol.

What Flavours Make Up the Apres Extra Strong Range?

The Apres Extra Strong line on our Spain shelf holds flavours that all sit at 8.3mg per pouch, which places them at the start of the Medium band on our strength scale. They divide into fruit and cocktail names on one side, and drinks, dessert and menthol on the other.

Appletini, Cactus Lime and Tangerine Spritz

Apres Appletini 8.3mg is the apple flavour of the line, and it is one of two Extra Strong flavours on our shelf with no 11mg partner. Apres Cactus Lime 8.3mg is the lime flavour and continues into Hyper Strong as Apres Cactus Lime 11mg. Apres Tangerine Spritz 8.3mg is the tangerine flavour, a name that suits the citrus country around Valencia, and it also has an 11mg version.

Cola, Ice Tea Peach, Lemon Curd and Menthol

Apres Cola 8.3mg is the cola flavour of the line. Apres Ice Tea Peach 8.3mg has a Southern peach tea flavour, the kind of drink a long afternoon in Seville seems designed for. Apres Lemon Curd 8.3mg is the lemon curd flavour, and it is the second Extra Strong flavour with no 11mg version on our Spain shelf. Apres Menthol 8.3mg is the menthol flavour, and its can carries the small black EXTRA STRONG tab that marks this line on the lid.

What Does the Apres Hyper Strong Line Hold?

The Apres Hyper Strong line holds ten flavours on our Spain shelf, every one at 11mg per pouch, which makes it the strongest Apres line we carry. That figure still falls inside the Medium band of our strength scale, so Hyper Strong is the top of the Apres range rather than the top of a shop that runs from 3mg to 150mg per pouch.

The Three Spritz Cans

Hyper Strong is where the spritz flavours gather. Apres Hugo Spritz 11mg, numbered N°15, and Apres Pink Spritz 11mg appear only in this line on our shelf, while Apres Tangerine Spritz 11mg is the stronger partner to the 8.3mg can. Spritz is a familiar terrace order from Barcelona to Bilbao, so the names need very little explanation to a reader in Spain.

Banana, Blueberry and Mochaccino

Apres Banana 11mg and Apres Mochaccino 11mg are both found only in Hyper Strong here, the first the banana flavour and the second the mochaccino flavour, numbered N°13 on its lid. Apres Blueberry 11mg completes the group as the stronger partner to the Normal can, keeping the same flavour name at a higher mg per pouch.

Cactus Lime, Cola, Ice Tea Peach and Menthol

The remaining four Hyper Strong cans, Apres Cactus Lime 11mg, Apres Cola 11mg, Apres Ice Tea Peach 11mg and Apres Menthol 11mg, each repeat an Extra Strong flavour at the higher figure. Apres Cactus Lime, Cola, Ice Tea Peach and Menthol at 11mg suit anyone who already knows one of these flavours at 8.3mg and wants the same taste at 11mg per pouch.

Which Apres Flavours Are Sold in Two Different Lines?

Blueberry, Cactus Lime, Cola, Ice Tea Peach, Menthol and Tangerine Spritz are each sold in two lines on our Spain shelf: Blueberry at 4.4mg and 11mg, and the other five at 8.3mg and 11mg. Apres Blueberry at 4.4mg and 11mg lets a reader keep the flavour fixed and change only the nicotine per pouch, which is the tidiest way to compare two Apres strengths.

Apres Appletini 8.3mg and Apres Lemon Curd 8.3mg exist only in Extra Strong, while Apres Banana 11mg, Apres Hugo Spritz 11mg, Apres Mochaccino 11mg and Apres Pink Spritz 11mg exist only in Hyper Strong, and the Limoncello can stands alone at 5.5mg. So, a reader who settles on one of those flavours has settled the strength at the same moment.

How Can You Spot Each Apres Line on the Lid?

Each Apres line is marked on the lid, so the strength can be read before the can is opened. The cans are white with a coloured ring, the word Après in a serif type with a N° number above it, the flavour name in capitals and the words NICOTINE POUCHES, along with a row of small dots at the edge that shows the strength.

The Apres lines then add their own lid signals. Extra Strong cans carry a small black tab reading EXTRA STRONG, while Hyper Strong cans repeat HYPÈR around the rim and add a red banner reading HYPÈR STRONG with five dots. The Limoncello can carries its own wording, Après Limoncello DICAPRI, with LIMITED COLLABORATION at the bottom. A can picked up from a desk in a Zaragoza office or from a beach bag in Alicante can therefore be placed in its line at a glance, before anyone checks the mg figure.

Where Do the Apres Lines Sit on Our Strength Scale?

The Apres lines sit in the Light and Medium bands of our strength scale, which measures nicotine per pouch. Light covers 1 to 8mg, so Normal at 4.4mg and the Limoncello limited edition at 5.5mg both fall there, while Medium covers 8 to 16mg and takes in Extra Strong at 8.3mg and Hyper Strong at 11mg.

The maker's line names and our scale answer slightly different questions. Extra Strong and Hyper Strong describe a can's position within Apres, whereas our scale places that can against every other brand on the Spain shelf. Every Apres figure here is already given per pouch, so no conversion from a per gram figure is needed before comparing one can with another.

We deliver to Spain. To set Apres beside other brands at a similar mg per pouch, you can shop nicotine pouches across the whole range, or head back to our snus range for every brand on the shelf.
