Snu Flavours Ranked: Which Snu Is Best in Sweden?

SNU Cherry Cola is the best Snu flavour on our shelf in Sweden, because it is one of four flavours stocked at every strength from 9mg to 45mg per pouch. SNU Cherry Cola comes at 9mg, 12mg, 18mg and 45mg per pouch, and the other ten flavours of Snu snus follow in order of how many strengths each one carries, with the familiarity of the flavour settling any tie, which brings SNU Black Ice, sold only at 45mg, to the end of the list. SNU Cherry Cola edges ahead of the three other flavours that share its full ladder because it pairs cherry with cola, two tastes many readers will know from drinks.

A ranking built this way works in the same manner as the trail map at Åre, where the colour of a run tells a skier how steep it is and the name of the run tells them what the view will be. Strength is the colour here and flavour is the name, and the table below sets the two side by side so the choice can be made in that order, with the colour settled before anyone starts admiring the view.

What Decides the Order of the Snu Flavours?

Every Snu flavour is placed by the number of strengths it carries on our Sweden shelf, and when two flavours match, the one with the more familiar name goes first. Snu comes at four points, 9mg, 12mg, 18mg and 45mg per pouch, which the brand labels Low, Medium, High and Xtra High. A flavour that reaches all four lets someone keep one taste at whichever strength suits them, and that continuity is what the order rewards. The whole ladder, step by step, is laid out under what strengths Snu comes in.

Our own strength scale places 9mg and 12mg in Medium, which runs from 8 to 16mg per pouch, 18mg in Strong, at 16 to 25mg, and 45mg in Extreme, which starts at 25mg. As such, the gentlest Snu pouch on the shelf is a 9mg, and the whole Snu range sits in our Medium, Strong and Extreme bands. Labels and scales use their words differently (the Snu label Medium means 12mg, while our Medium band takes in both 9mg and 12mg), so the mg per pouch printed on the tin is the figure worth carrying from one tin to the next.

Flavour sits on top of that figure without moving it, so a 12mg pouch holds 12mg whatever is printed on the lid. Time in the lip follows the person rather than the flavour. A pouch is kept in for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the user's preference, and how long a Snu lasts in Sweden looks at that window more closely. For placement, the first pouch and the routine that follows it, how to use Snu is the companion read.

The five 45mg cans make up the Xtra High line, which the Snu lines sets out beside the 9mg, 12mg and 18mg cans. The brand itself and the questions people ask about it are gathered under what Snu is, and a reader in Stockholm, Gothenburg or Malmö weighing up where to order will find the Sweden shelf explained in where to buy Snu in Sweden.

Which Snu Flavours Are Stocked at All Four Strengths?

On our shelf, Cherry Cola, Wild Cherry, Tropical Punch and Fizzy Energy are the four Snu flavours sold at 9mg, 12mg, 18mg and 45mg per pouch. They take the top four places because each one can be bought at whichever of the four strengths suits the reader, without any change of taste along the way.

1. SNU Cherry Cola

SNU Cherry Cola is first because it pairs a fruit with a soft drink, two tastes many readers will recognise from drinks and sweets, which makes it an easy flavour to picture. For anyone who arrives looking for cherry snus, Cherry Cola gives that cherry a cola backdrop at 9mg, 12mg, 18mg and 45mg per pouch. It suits someone who wants one flavour to stay constant whatever strength they settle on, and someone who enjoys a flavour built from two parts rather than one. The 9mg tin sits at the gentle end of the Snu range, while the 45mg tin belongs to the Xtra High line.

2. SNU Wild Cherry

Wild Cherry is second, with cherry on its own at the same four strengths, and it suits the reader who wants the fruit without the cola alongside it. The distance between first and second place is one of company. Cherry Cola brings a partner to the cherry, while Wild Cherry lets the fruit carry the pouch by itself, from 9mg up to 45mg. Someone moving between the two at the same mg per pouch is comparing a single flavour with a pairing, which is about as tidy a comparison as the Snu range offers.

3. SNU Tropical Punch

SNU Tropical Punch is third, a blend of tropical fruit under one name, stocked at 9mg, 12mg, 18mg and 45mg per pouch. It takes third place on the tie break, with the cherry flavours ahead on name familiarity. SNU Tropical Punch suits a reader who likes variety within a single pouch and enjoys a flavour with several voices in it, and among the four flavours with every strength it is the natural pick for that taste.

4. SNU Fizzy Energy

SNU Fizzy Energy is fourth, an energy drink flavour and the newest listing in the Snu range, again at 9mg, 12mg, 18mg and 45mg per pouch. It takes fourth place on the tie break and suits a reader who already enjoys an energy drink taste and wants that flavour at a strength of their own choosing. It offers the same full ladder as Cherry Cola, in a flavour of a very different character.

Which Snu Flavours Come in 9mg, 12mg and 18mg?

Four Snu fruit flavours come in 9mg, 12mg and 18mg per pouch: Strawberry Kiwi, Triple Mango, Grape and Lemon & Lime. With three strengths apiece, they fill places five to eight, covering the Medium and Strong bands of our scale. This group holds the flavours named after a plain fruit or a fruit pairing, and its upper figure of 18mg sits within our Strong band.

5. SNU Strawberry Kiwi

Strawberry Kiwi leads the group, a pairing of berry and green fruit at 9mg, 12mg and 18mg per pouch. It suits someone who likes two fruits sharing a pouch and wants a choice of strength within the Medium and Strong bands. In the same way as Cherry Cola higher up, its appeal comes from the pairing, which gives a reader two familiar reference points instead of one. A reader in Uppsala choosing between it and Triple Mango at 12mg is, in effect, choosing between two fruits and one.

6. SNU Triple Mango

Triple Mango is sixth, with mango at the centre of the flavour, at 9mg, 12mg and 18mg per pouch. It suits the reader who has one favourite fruit and would rather that fruit had the pouch to itself. Where Strawberry Kiwi spreads its attention across two fruits, Triple Mango keeps it on one, and the name leaves no doubt about which fruit is the subject.

7. SNU Grape

Grape is seventh, a single fruit flavour at 9mg, 12mg and 18mg per pouch. It suits someone who enjoys grape in sweets or soft drinks and wants that flavour across three strengths. Grape is familiar enough to judge quickly against the other flavours at the same mg per pouch. Someone moving between the 9mg and 18mg cans of Grape is changing only the strength, which is a clean way to learn where their own figure sits.

8. SNU Lemon & Lime

Lemon & Lime is eighth, a citrus pairing at 9mg, 12mg and 18mg per pouch, and the one citrus flavour in the Snu range. It suits the reader who reaches for lemon or lime in a drink and wants the same direction in a pouch. It carries the same three strengths as Strawberry Kiwi, so the distance between fifth and eighth place is a matter of flavour preference rather than any difference in strength.

Where Does Mint Sit in the Snu Ranking?

Mint sits ninth in the Snu ranking, through Fresh Mint, which our Sweden shelf stocks at 9mg and 12mg per pouch, with Watermelon tenth at 9mg. SNU Fresh Mint at 9mg and 12mg per pouch and SNU Watermelon at 9mg per pouch suit a reader whose preferred strength matches the strengths those cans are stocked at.

9. SNU Fresh Mint

Fresh Mint is the one Snu flavour with mint in its name, and both of its strengths, 9mg and 12mg per pouch, fall within our Medium band. It suits someone who wants a clean mint rather than fruit, and who is content in the 9mg to 12mg part of the range. In a range where most flavours are fruit or soft drinks, Fresh Mint is the steady exception, and a reader who carries a mint preference over from any other snus will find it the natural first stop within Snu.

10. SNU Watermelon

Watermelon is tenth, stocked at 9mg per pouch, the gentlest Snu strength on the shelf. It suits a reader who wants a single fruit flavour at 9mg and has no wish to look further along the ladder. Its single strength makes it one of the simplest purchases in the range, since the flavour and the figure arrive already decided.

Who Is SNU Black Ice For?

SNU Black Ice is for the experienced snus user who has already settled on 45mg per pouch, since Black Ice is sold in the Xtra High strength only. It is eleventh in the ranking because it has one strength, at the top of the Snu ladder and well inside our Extreme band, which begins at 25mg. Of the five Xtra High cans, Black Ice is the only flavour without a lower strength, so the reader who chooses it is choosing the strength and the flavour together. If you are new to snus, the 9mg cans further up the table are the natural place to begin, while Black Ice stays on the shelf for the reader who knows 45mg is their figure.

Does a Snu Flavour Change How Strong a Pouch Feels?

A flavour leaves the mg per pouch unchanged, although it can change how strong a pouch seems, which is why perceived strength is treated as an idea of its own. Mint is the clearest case, because its cooling sensation can make a pouch seem sharper than a fruit pouch at the same figure. Fresh Mint at 12mg and Grape at 12mg can therefore leave different impressions while holding exactly the same 12mg. Fruit and soft drink flavours, by comparison, often come across as rounder.

Two Snu flavours compare fairly at the same mg per pouch. Someone in Västerås trying Fresh Mint against Strawberry Kiwi, both at 12mg, is learning about flavour and nothing else. Changing the flavour and the strength in one go leaves no way of telling which of the two made the difference, and the next choice becomes a guess rather than a decision.

What Should a Beginner Pick From the Snu Range?

A beginner is best served by a Snu flavour they already like, bought at 9mg per pouch, because 9mg is the mildest strength Snu makes and ten of the eleven flavours are stocked at it. Starting with a taste that is already familiar means the pouch is the thing being judged, not an unfamiliar flavour. Someone who enjoys cola could try Cherry Cola at 9mg, while a person who prefers mint has Fresh Mint at the same figure.

Flavours high in the table, SNU Cherry Cola among them, leave four strengths open to move between if a change is wanted later, whereas a flavour further down fixes the choice at the figure the reader began with. It helps to jot down the exact flavour and mg per pouch of the first tin, so that any later change alters one detail at a time.

How Do You Compare Two Snu Flavours Before Buying?

The quickest way to compare two Snu flavours is the lid, which carries a scented patch printed with 'Rub here to smell the flavour'. A reader torn between Tropical Punch and Triple Mango can get a sense of each from that patch before a pouch is opened, and the exercise costs nothing more than a thumb. With the strength settled first and the flavour second, the choice tends to take care of itself.

When the figure and the flavour are decided, you can buy snus from the full range, or set Snu beside the rest of the snus on our Sweden shelf, which runs from 3mg to 150mg per pouch. A broader look at mint and fruit across brands places these flavours in wider company. We deliver to Sweden, and our products are intended only for adults aged 18 or over.
