Medium strong snus is the lowest strength category on BuySnus, with portions that contain between 4mg and 12mg of nicotine. It contains plenty of classic brands, including General, Grov, Göteborgs Rapé.
Look, there’s no official snus regulatory body dictating exactly what the definition of a “medium strength” is. Brands tend to do their own thing, and many have their own strength rating systems.
But here at BuySnus, we have our own nicotine strength categories, and we like to think they’re pretty representative of the market as a whole. The medium strength category contains portions with between 4mg and 12mg of nicotine each (or the equivalent for loose snus).
At the bottom end of the spectrum, we have options like General Mini White, which contains just 4mg per portion.
As for stronger normal strength options, Islay Whisky Original contains 12mg per portion.
The flavors in this category are also a bit less intense than higher-strength categories.
Medium strong snus is one category, but within it, there are numerous subcategories. We’ve highlighted top products for many of these subcategories in the sections below.
Göteborgs Rapé Masthugget Vit combines notes of pear, mint, and melon with a dominant tobacco flavor. It comes in a large portion, which allows users to enjoy a full-bodied effect without going overboard with the nicotine (each portion contains 7.2mg).
Original portion snus is to white portion snus what a black coffee is to a latte. This is a category where many original blends dating back a hundred years or more can be found, and Grov Original is one of them. Each portion contains 8.5mg of nicotine, in a regular size.
Medium strong snus isn’t all about portions. General Loose is the exact same product that made General a hit back in 1866, with the blend of 22 tobacco types to create the ultimate experience. It's hard to go wrong there!
It contains 7.5mg/g, which is equivalent in strength to a standard General Original portion in terms of strength.
Catch Licorice Mini White Dry contains just 3.5mg of nicotine per portion, making it one of the lowest-strength options we stock on BuySnus. It also comes with a lighter tobacco flavor than many snus portions, along with a salty salmiak taste.
We’ve already covered medium strong snus products in regular, large, and mini sizes. So it would be rude not to include a slim option too!
XR Apple Slim White has a narrow, long shape that allows it to slot ergonomically into the mouth. It also comes with one of the more unusual flavor profiles in the medium strong snus collection, boasting apple and orange notes.
Medium strong snus is our lowest-strength nicotine category on BuySnus. But since it’s a fairly wide category, it’s important to assess which products to try individually and not to assume every medium strength product is the same.
For those who are new to snus — even those who have previously used other nicotine products — it’s always best to start with the lowest available strength possible.
Once a snus-er becomes accustomed to this strength level or it becomes too weak for them, it may be time to go up in strength (typically a couple of milligrams more per portion).
If even 12mg per portion becomes too weak, BuySnus offers higher strength levels.
For those ready to “upgrade” their strength level, here’s how to navigate the other categories on BuySnus:
There’s some overlap in the strength levels contained in each category since intensity of flavor is also considered.
