Best Snus Pouches 2024

The picks below are some of the best snus brands on the market right now, with a mixture of older and newer products.

1. General Mint White

General is the most popular snus brand we stock on Snusdirect, so it’s unsurprising that General Mint White tops the list.

While General originally gained renown for its tobacco flavor, General Mint White is now one of the brand’s most popular options. It boasts a sweet yet potent peppermint flavor alongside classic tobacco notes, and provides a moderate nicotine strength of 8 mg per portion.

The popularity of General Mint White is partly down to the brand’s status as one of the most established on the market. General was first launched back in 1866, and its use of 22 types of tobacco leaf helped it gain a reputation for quality. Today, General is part of the Swedish Match family, a market-leading snus and nicotine pouch firm.

2. Siberia -80 Degrees

Siberia -80 Degrees is best known for being one of the stronger snus products available with an impressive strength of 34.4 mg per portion. This makes it more than four times stronger than General Mint White!

As the name suggests, it offers an icy blast akin to Siberian temperatures, alongside darker tobacco notes.

Swedish tobacco producer GN Tobacco manufactures the Siberia brand, giving it a mark of Swedish quality.

3. Oden's Cold Extreme

Putting the word “extreme” in a product name is a bold move, but Oden’s Cold Extreme doesn’t disappoint. With 17.6 mg of nicotine per portion and a cooling mint taste, it’s a high-strength snus with a robust flavor. However, it also includes spearmint, which offers a sweeter hint.

Oden’s is another brand part of the GN Tobacco family, meaning Swedish roots are at the heart of the product.

4. Göteborgs Rapé

Göteborgs Rapé White stands out for its multifaceted and complex flavor. Its ingredients include many of the usual suspects for snus, such as tobacco and citrus fruits. But there are also some more unusual additions, including lavender, juniper, and oak.

As a white portion snus, moisture content is low and there’s minimal dripping, so users can enjoy the flavor without inconvenience.

Along with General, Göteborgs Rapé is one of the longest-standing players in the snus market. It was first established in 1915 in the port city of Gothenburg, where sailors brought back exotic ingredients that influenced the brand’s unique snus flavor. It’s now part of Swedish Match.

5. Ettan Original

Ettan Original has a darker snus flavor. Boasting unseasoned tobacco, it has a somewhat bitter taste with smoky hints, which some compare to the flavor of dark chocolate.

Since the product has been going strong since it was first released in 1990 and remains popular today, it must be doing something right!

Despite the strong and distinctive taste, Ettan Original has only a moderate strength, containing 8.5 mg of nicotine per portion. However, the moist contents lead to a fast flavor release that can increase potency.

6. Jakobsson's Wintergreen

Wintergreen has a unique and complex taste profile. Not quite mint, it’s aromatic and potent yet sweet and refreshing. Jakobsson's Wintergreen combines this with a classic tobacco base, leading to a taste profile that is earthy yet cooling and fresh.

It contains 14 mg of nicotine per portion, making it a high-strength option, and the moderate moisture level means the nicotine is released quickly.

7. Lundgrens Skåne White

Berries dominate in Lundgrens Skåne White. Although there’s a tobacco base, the sweet berries help balance the flavor, creating a premium feel. Each pouch contents 17.6 mg of nicotine, providing an intense strength.

The snus comes as a white portion, but the bags used are perforated, which gives the snus a happy medium between the traditional faster release of loose portions and the convenience of portions.

8. Chainsaw Cold Mint

Now we return to icy mint flavors. Chainsaw Cold Mint contains a fusion of peppermint and spearmint, combining the potency peppermint provides and the lighter, sweeter flavor of spearmint. It’s the best of both worlds!

Each pouch contains 20 mg of nicotine, which adds to the potent effect.

Chainsaw is a newer snus brand established in 2006, although it’s now owned by Swedish Match.

9. Al Capone Mint

Al Capone stands out from other products on the list because it’s one of the few snus products on the market that comes in a mini portion.

But Al Capone Mint has more to offer than just its size. It has a minty flavor and dry contents, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a product they can consume conveniently with minimal drip.

With 8 mg of nicotine per portion, it provides a lower strength than many other options on this list.

10. G.3 WINK Super Slim Strong White

G.3. is the third generation of the General brand (hence the name), showing that the company is willing to adapt to modern consumers.

G.3 WINK Super Slim Strong White has a base flavor that’s a mix of peppermint and tobacco, but there are spicy hints, along with notes of herbs and vanilla. This provides a complex taste profile with plenty to explore. Meanwhile, there’s a nicotine strength of 9.9 per portion, providing a moderate strength.

Note that the product was previously known as Super Slim Blue Mint but has undergone a makeover.
