Apres Snus Strengths and mg Levels in France

Apres snus comes in four strengths on our shelf in France: 4.4mg, 5.5mg, 8.3mg and 11mg of nicotine per pouch. Most of the range sits at 8.3mg and 11mg, while one flavour at 4.4mg and a limited edition at 5.5mg complete the set. Apres comes from Après Nicotine AB, a young company from Stockholm, Sweden, and every Apres pouch is tobacco free snus.

Anyone who has skied at Val Thorens or Chamonix will know that the French Alps grade every run by colour, so the marker at the top describes the gradient before the snow has even been seen. Apres strengths work in much the same way, as a ladder of fixed figures with a name attached to each step. Every can on our France shelf appears below beside its mg per pouch and its place on our own scale, so the choice can begin with the number rather than with the lid.

Does the Strength Change How Long an Apres Pouch Lasts?

An Apres pouch is usually left in for somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on what the user prefers, and that same window applies to every tier from 4.4mg to 11mg. Strength describes how much nicotine one portion holds, whereas the time a pouch stays in belongs to personal routine, so the two decisions can be made separately. A reader on a morning journey across Paris and a reader settling into a long afternoon in Nantes may keep the same pouch in for quite different lengths of time, and both sit comfortably inside that range. The fuller answer, including what tends to shift as a session goes on, sits under how long an Apres pouch lasts.

Every Apres strength is used in the same way, with the pouch tucked under the upper lip against the gum while saliva slowly dampens it. So, a first pouch at 4.4mg and a familiar one at 11mg go in exactly alike, and how to use Apres walks through the first time and the everyday routine in more detail. Flavour, meanwhile, is a decision of its own, and it becomes far easier once the strength has been fixed. The full order of the range, starting with the top pick, is set out under which Apres flavour is best.

What Do the Strength Names on an Apres Can Mean?

Apres uses three strength names across our France shelf, Normal at 4.4mg, Extra Strong at 8.3mg and Hypèr Strong at 11mg, while the 5.5mg limited edition stands outside that ladder. The maker organises its own range by these tiers, and the lid shows them clearly. Apres lids follow one design: a white can with a coloured ring, a flavour number above the brand name, the flavour in capitals and a row of small dots at the edge. Extra Strong cans add a small black tab printed with the tier name, while Hypèr Strong cans carry a red banner with five dots and the word Hypèr repeated around the rim.

The dots are the maker's own shorthand, and they work well for browsing within the Apres range, but the mg per pouch is the figure that compares fairly with any other brand. The limited edition lid reads Limited Collaboration along its lower edge, which sets it apart from the tiered cans at a glance. How these tiers group into families is explained under the Apres lines, and the company in Stockholm, along with what goes into each pouch, is covered under what Apres is.

What Is the Difference Between mg per Pouch and mg per Gram?

mg per gram describes how concentrated the nicotine is in the filling, whereas mg per pouch is the total held in one finished portion, and our shelf states mg per pouch. Turning a concentration into a portion takes a single step: take the figure printed per gram and scale it by what one pouch weighs, in grams. The per pouch order for Apres runs 4.4mg, 5.5mg, 8.3mg and 11mg, and that is the order the chart above follows from top to bottom.

A cyclist on the climb up Mont Ventoux reads a gear by its ratio rather than by the look of the chainring, and the same habit pays off with snus. Two brands can print similar per gram figures on pouches of different weights and still end up with different amounts in each portion, so the per pouch number is the steadier comparison when moving between ranges. That is why every Apres figure on our France shelf is given per pouch, ready to set against any other can without a calculation in between.

Where Does Apres Sit on Our France Shelf?

Apres sits entirely within the Light and Medium bands of our strength scale, with 4.4mg and 5.5mg counted as Light and 8.3mg and 11mg counted as Medium. Our scale runs Light from 1 to 8mg, Medium from 8 to 16mg, Strong from 16 to 25mg and Extreme from 25mg and over, and the shop in France spans everything from 3mg to 150mg per pouch. So, the strongest Apres pouch lands in the lower half of the Medium band, with a good stretch of the scale still above it.

The 19 Apres products we stock are spread across just four figures, which keeps the comparison between them unusually tidy. A reader in Lyon setting Apres beside a brand further up the scale will find the whole Apres range below 16mg per pouch, while a reader in Bordeaux comparing two Apres flavours will usually find them sharing a figure. For the practical side of getting a can, where to buy Apres in France has the answer.

Which Apres Snus Sits at the Lighter End?

The lighter end of Apres snus is 4.4mg and 5.5mg per pouch, and both figures fall inside the Light band of our scale.

Apres at 4.4mg

Apres Blueberry 4.4mg is the only Normal tier can on our France shelf, and it is the lowest Apres strength we stock. Blueberry is also the only flavour that appears at both ends of the range, since the same flavour returns as Apres Blueberry 11mg in the Hypèr Strong tier. That makes it a useful reference point, because a reader can stay with one familiar flavour and compare two clearly separated figures, which keeps any difference down to strength alone rather than taste.

Apres at 5.5mg

Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition 5.5mg is the lemon flavour in the range, and it sits a little above the Normal tier and outside the three named strengths, as a limited release with its own lid. At 5.5mg per pouch, Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition 5.5mg stays in the Light band, so it gives a reader who enjoys lemon a figure just above Apres Blueberry 4.4mg, presented in a can that stands apart from the rest of the range.

What Is There to Choose From in the Apres Extra Strong Tier?

The Extra Strong tier holds seven Apres flavours, each at 8.3mg per pouch, which makes it the second largest tier on our France shelf after Hypèr Strong.

Fruit, Citrus and Drinks at 8.3mg

Apres Appletini 8.3mg is the apple flavour at 8.3mg per pouch, and it shares that figure with Apres Cola 8.3mg, along with Cactus Lime, Ice Tea Peach, Lemon Curd and Tangerine Spritz at the same strength. The spread runs from orchard fruit to citrus, cola and Ice Tea Peach, so the Extra Strong tier offers real variety without any change in the number on the lid. Appletini and Lemon Curd are found only at 8.3mg on our shelf, while Cactus Lime, Cola, Ice Tea Peach and Tangerine Spritz each have an 11mg version as well, which leaves room to step up later without leaving a favourite flavour behind.

Mint at 8.3mg

Apres Menthol 8.3mg is the mint option in the Extra Strong tier, and it carries the same nicotine per pouch as every fruit flavour beside it. Menthol adds a cold, fresh feel in the mouth, however, so a menthol pouch can come across as sharper than a fruit one at the same stated figure. That difference belongs to perceived strength rather than content, and the mg per pouch stays the more reliable comparison. Apres Menthol 11mg continues the same flavour into the Hypèr Strong tier for anyone who wants mint at the top of the ladder.

What Is the Strongest Apres Snus?

The strongest Apres snus is 11mg per pouch, the Hypèr Strong tier, and ten flavours come at that figure on our France shelf. Apres Banana 11mg is one of four flavours found only at 11mg, alongside Hugo Spritz, Mochaccino and Pink Spritz, so a reader drawn to any of those four will find each at this single strength. The remaining six Hypèr Strong cans are Blueberry, Cactus Lime, Cola, Ice Tea Peach, Menthol and Tangerine Spritz, and each of those also appears at a lower figure.

The drinks theme runs strongest in the Hypèr Strong tier, with Hugo Spritz and Pink Spritz joining Tangerine Spritz, and Mochaccino bringing coffee into the range. A terrace in Nice towards the end of the afternoon would recognise most of those names. At 11mg, Apres still sits inside the Medium band of our scale, comfortably below the brands that reach into Strong and Extreme. As such, the top of the Apres ladder is a step up within the brand rather than a move into a different part of the shelf.

How Do You Choose Between Two Strengths of the Same Apres Flavour?

Six Apres flavours come in two strengths on our France shelf, so the choice between the two versions of each comes down to the mg per pouch alone. Blueberry spans the widest gap, from 4.4mg to 11mg, while Cactus Lime, Cola, Ice Tea Peach, Menthol and Tangerine Spritz each step from 8.3mg to 11mg. Holding the flavour steady and changing only the figure is the clearest way to compare, because any difference noticed afterwards then has a single cause.

The step from Apres Cola 8.3mg to Apres Cola 11mg is a modest one, with the flavour unchanged and only the figure moving up a notch from one tier to the next. The step from Apres Blueberry 4.4mg to Apres Blueberry 11mg covers more ground, which is worth bearing in mind when moving between the Normal and Hypèr Strong cans. Either way, noting the exact name and figure of the pouch that already suits a routine makes the next comparison much simpler. When the figure is settled, you can buy snus by its mg per pouch across every brand we carry, and our full snus selection shows where Apres sits beside the rest of the shelf. We deliver to France, and everything we sell is meant for adults aged 18 and over.
