Apres Blueberry is the best Apres flavor on our US shelf, because it is the only one sold at both ends of the range, 4.4mg and 11mg per pouch. Behind it come five flavors offered at 8.3mg and 11mg, then seven flavors sold at a single strength, thirteen flavors in all across the Apres nicotine pouches we stock in the US. Choosing a can works a little like choosing seats at a ballgame, where the section and the view are separate decisions, so every rank below keeps the strength and the flavor side by side.
Apres is made by Après Nicotine AB, which calls itself a young company from Stockholm, Sweden, and a Swedish brand that produces and sells tobacco free nicotine pouches. For adults 21 and over.
| Rank | Flavor | Strengths on our US shelf (per pouch) | Band on our scale | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Apres Blueberry | 4.4mg and 11mg | Light and Medium | A light first can, with the same flavor available at 11mg |
| 2 | Apres Cola | 8.3mg and 11mg | Medium | Adults who want a familiar soda flavor |
| 3 | Apres Menthol | 8.3mg and 11mg | Medium | Adults who enjoy a cooling note |
| 4 | Apres Ice Tea Peach | 8.3mg and 11mg | Medium | Fans of Southern style peach iced tea |
| 5 | Apres Tangerine Spritz | 8.3mg and 11mg | Medium | Citrus fans who want two strengths to choose from |
| 6 | Apres Cactus Lime | 8.3mg and 11mg | Medium | Lime fans curious about something different |
| 7 | Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition | 5.5mg | Light | Adults who want lemon at a light strength |
| 8 | Apres Lemon Curd | 8.3mg | Medium | Adults who like lemon and a dessert style name |
| 9 | Apres Appletini | 8.3mg | Medium | Adults who enjoy apple flavors |
| 10 | Apres Pink Spritz | 11mg | Medium | Spritz fans settled at 11mg |
| 11 | Apres Hugo Spritz | 11mg | Medium | Spritz fans who want another flavor at 11mg |
| 12 | Apres Mochaccino | 11mg | Medium | Coffee drinkers settled at 11mg |
| 13 | Apres Banana | 11mg | Medium | Adults who prefer a fruit flavor at 11mg |
Every figure in the table is per pouch. On our scale, 4.4mg and 5.5mg sit in Light (1 to 8mg), while 8.3mg and 11mg sit in Medium (8 to 16mg), so the whole Apres range stays within the first two bands. The tier by tier picture, with every can placed on that scale, is set out under Apres strengths and mg levels in the US. Flavor changes the taste rather than the routine, and a pouch is kept in for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the user's preference, whichever can it comes from. The pages on how long an Apres pouch lasts and on using an Apres pouch for the first time apply to every flavor on this list.
How Is the Apres Flavor Ranking Decided?
The ranking puts the flavors with the most strength choices first, then orders each group from the lowest starting strength upward. So, a flavor sold at two strengths sits above a flavor sold at one, because it gives an adult in Denver or Dallas room to settle on a figure without giving up a taste they already like. Where two flavors share the same strengths, the more familiar flavor family comes first (cola and menthol ahead of cocktails and desserts), since a familiar taste is easier to judge on a first can. The result is a practical order for shopping, built on what each can offers, and every flavor on it is a full member of the range.
The strengths follow the maker's own lines. The 8.3mg cans belong to the Extra Strong line, the 11mg cans to the Hyper Strong line, the 4.4mg can to the Normal line, and the 5.5mg can is a limited collaboration. How those lines fit together is covered in the Apres lines, the company behind them in what Apres is, and the buying side in where to buy Apres in the US.
Why Is Apres Blueberry the Best Apres Flavor?
Apres Blueberry ranks first because it comes at 4.4mg and 11mg per pouch, the lowest and highest strengths in the Apres range on our US shelf. No other Apres flavor covers that spread, which means an adult can start with Apres Blueberry 4.4mg in the Light band and later move to Apres Blueberry 11mg in the Medium band while keeping exactly the same flavor. That matters more than it sounds, because changing strength and flavor together makes it hard to tell which change made the difference.
Apres Blueberry is also about as familiar as a fruit gets in the US, from a stack of pancakes at a roadside diner to the wild blueberries Maine is known for in late summer. The lid carries N°12 above the Apres name, with the flavor in capitals underneath, and the 11mg can belongs to the Hyper Strong line, so the two strengths are easy to tell apart by the figure on the can. Apres Blueberry suits a newcomer to the brand who wants a light first can, and a regular who already enjoys Apres Blueberry 4.4mg and wants the same taste at 11mg.
Which Apres Flavors Come in Both 8.3mg and 11mg?
Five Apres flavors come in both 8.3mg and 11mg per pouch, ranked second to sixth: Apres Cola 8.3mg, Apres Menthol 8.3mg, Apres Ice Tea Peach 8.3mg, Apres Tangerine Spritz 8.3mg and Apres Cactus Lime 8.3mg, each with an 11mg partner can. All ten cans sit in the Medium band on our scale, so moving between the two strengths is a small step rather than a leap, and the flavor stays put either way.
Why Does Apres Cola Rank Second?
Apres Cola ranks second because cola is the most familiar drink flavor in the range, and it comes as Apres Cola 8.3mg and Apres Cola 11mg. The lid reads N°4. It suits an adult who would order a cola with a burger anywhere from Atlanta to Los Angeles and wants that same taste in a pouch, with Apres Cola 8.3mg as the lower of the pair.
Why Does Apres Menthol Rank Third?
Apres Menthol ranks third, sold as Apres Menthol 8.3mg and Apres Menthol 11mg, and the lid reads N°1. Apres Menthol brings a cooling note, the sort of crisp air that comes off Lake Michigan on a January morning in Chicago, and that cool can make a pouch feel sharper than its stated figure. Apres Menthol suits an adult who reaches for mint gum by habit and wants the cooling as part of the experience.
Why Does Apres Ice Tea Peach Rank Fourth?
Apres Ice Tea Peach ranks fourth, at 8.3mg and 11mg per pouch, and its name points straight at the American South. Peach and iced tea are a pairing anyone who has spent a summer in Georgia or the Carolinas will recognize from a pitcher on the porch. It suits an adult who wants a drink flavor that is not cola, with Apres Ice Tea Peach 8.3mg as the lighter way in.
Why Does Apres Tangerine Spritz Rank Fifth?
Apres Tangerine Spritz ranks fifth, at 8.3mg and 11mg per pouch, with a citrus flavor that brings Florida orange groves to mind. It suits an adult who likes citrus and wants a choice of two strengths within one flavor, and it opens the spritz family that runs further down the list.
Why Does Apres Cactus Lime Rank Sixth?
Apres Cactus Lime ranks sixth, at 8.3mg and 11mg per pouch, a pairing of lime and cactus that would sit comfortably on a patio in Phoenix or Tucson. Lime gives the name a familiar anchor, while cactus makes it the most unusual name among the five flavors offered at two strengths. It suits an adult who already enjoys lime and is curious about something a little different.
Which Apres Flavors Come in One Strength Below 11mg?
Three Apres flavors are sold at a single strength below 11mg, ranked seventh to ninth: Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition 5.5mg, Apres Lemon Curd 8.3mg and Apres Appletini 8.3mg. With one can each, the strength is settled the moment the flavor is chosen, which makes these three simple to shop.
Why Does Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition Rank Seventh?
Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition ranks seventh, and at 5.5mg per pouch it is the second lightest Apres can on our US shelf after Apres Blueberry 4.4mg. The lid reads Après Limoncello DICAPRI, with LIMITED COLLABORATION along the bottom. Limoncello is the lemon after dinner drink poured in Italian restaurants from Boston's North End to San Francisco, and this can suits an adult who wants lemon at a light strength.
Why Does Apres Lemon Curd Rank Eighth?
Apres Lemon Curd ranks eighth, at 8.3mg per pouch, and its name takes lemon in the direction of dessert. Think of a lemon bar on the table at a church bake sale. It suits an adult who likes lemon and is comfortable at 8.3mg, with Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition 5.5mg as the lighter lemon alongside it.
Why Does Apres Appletini Rank Ninth?
Apres Appletini ranks ninth, at 8.3mg per pouch, named after the cocktail long seen on bar menus in Manhattan. Apple is one of the most familiar fruits in the US, grown in orchards from upstate New York to Washington State, so the cocktail name gives a known fruit a twist. It suits an adult who enjoys apple flavors and wants a single, fixed strength.
Which Apres Flavors Are Only Sold at 11mg?
Four Apres flavors are sold only at 11mg per pouch, ranked tenth to thirteenth: Apres Pink Spritz 11mg, Apres Hugo Spritz 11mg, Apres Mochaccino 11mg and Apres Banana 11mg. They sit together at the top of the Apres range, in the Medium band on our scale, so they suit adults who already know they want 11mg and are choosing purely on flavor.
Why Does Apres Pink Spritz Rank Tenth?
Apres Pink Spritz ranks tenth, the first of the two spritz flavors sold only at 11mg per pouch. Its name suggests a summer rooftop in Miami. It suits an adult who already enjoys Apres Tangerine Spritz and wants another spritz to rotate with at 11mg.
Why Does Apres Hugo Spritz Rank Eleventh?
Apres Hugo Spritz ranks eleventh, at 11mg per pouch, and its lid carries N°15. It rounds out a spritz family of three alongside Apres Tangerine Spritz and Apres Pink Spritz. It suits an adult who likes the spritz family and is settled at 11mg.
Why Does Apres Mochaccino Rank Twelfth?
Apres Mochaccino ranks twelfth, at 11mg per pouch, and it is the only coffee flavor in the Apres range on our US shelf. The lid reads N°13, and the name brings a chocolate and coffee pairing that would feel at home in a Seattle coffee bar on a gray afternoon. It suits an adult who drinks coffee daily and wants that taste in a pouch at 11mg.
Why Does Apres Banana Rank Thirteenth?
Apres Banana 11mg ranks thirteenth, closing the list at 11mg per pouch. Banana is a comfort taste across the US, from banana bread on a Sunday morning to banana pudding at a cookout in Tennessee or Texas. It suits an adult who prefers a fruit flavor over citrus or mint and already knows 11mg is the right figure.
Does the Flavor Change How Strong an Apres Pouch Feels?
Yes, flavor can change perceived strength without changing the figure on the lid, so Apres Menthol 8.3mg can come across as sharper than Apres Lemon Curd 8.3mg even though both hold 8.3mg per pouch. Menthol produces a cooling sensation, and that cool tends to make the opening minutes of a pouch feel more pronounced. Fruit and dessert flavors, such as Apres Banana 11mg or Apres Lemon Curd 8.3mg, usually read rounder by comparison.
Apres pouches are made with plant fiber, flavorings and a sweetener, among other ingredients, so the flavor and the figure on the lid are what set one can apart from the next. As such, when comparing two Apres cans, matching the mg per pouch first and the flavor family second gives the fairest side by side. A move from Apres Cola 8.3mg to Apres Menthol 8.3mg, for example, changes only the flavor, which makes any difference easy to put down to the menthol.
Which Apres Flavor Suits a First Can?
Apres Blueberry 4.4mg is the lightest Apres can on our US shelf, and Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition 5.5mg is the next step up, so those two suit an adult choosing a first Apres can at a lighter strength. Both sit in the Light band on our scale. For an adult who already uses nicotine pouches at a Medium strength, the seven flavors offered at 8.3mg give the widest choice at a single figure, from Apres Cola 8.3mg to Apres Appletini 8.3mg.
From there, the simplest approach is to change one thing at a time. Keep the flavor and move between Apres Blueberry 4.4mg and Apres Blueberry 11mg, or keep the figure at 8.3mg and move from Apres Cola 8.3mg to Apres Ice Tea Peach 8.3mg, so any difference can be traced to a single change. Apres Blueberry is the only flavor that allows a strength change starting from the Light band, which is a large part of why it tops the list.
