Introduction to the world of Siberia snus

Welcome to the frosty north of the snus world! Siberia is one of the best-known and strongest snus brands of all. With its powerful mint flavour and very high nicotine content, Siberia is aimed exclusively at experienced snus users. In this article we introduce the brand and its best-known products and show you what to look out for when choosing.

What is Siberia snus?

Siberia is a snus brand from Sweden. It became known for the "-80°C" line, whose name refers to its icy mint flavour. Today the range includes several lines: the classic Red line, the even stronger X-Tremely Black line, the Ice Cold Power variants and various formats from Mini to Original.

What all products have in common is their very high nicotine content. Many Siberia varieties contain 43 mg of nicotine per gram. Depending on the pouch size, that gives around 28 mg (Slim) to 43 mg (Original) of nicotine per portion. For comparison, many classic snus varieties are well below that. You will find an overview of strengths in the article Snus dosage and strength in mg.

The best-known Siberia products

1. Siberia Red White Dry (-80°C)

The brand's classic. Siberia Red White Dry comes in the dry White Dry format: the pouches are white and dry and therefore drip less than moist Original snus. The flavour is a powerful, icy mint. Nicotine content: 43 mg/g, around 34 mg per pouch (0.8 g). This variant is also available as Slim, as Mini and in larger packs.

2. Siberia X-Tremely Black White Dry

The X-Tremely Black line is intended for users who are already used to very strong snus. It also comes in the White Dry format with 43 mg/g, around 34 mg per pouch (0.8 g). If you prefer a slimmer format, choose the Siberia X-Tremely Black Slim White Dry with around 28 mg per pouch (0.65 g).

3. Siberia Blue Ice Cold Power Slim White

This variant combines a cool ice note with the slim format. With 24 mg/g and around 18 to 24 mg per pouch, it is somewhat milder within the brand, but still belongs in the "strong" category. For anyone who likes Siberia but is not looking for the most extreme variants, it is an option.

Formats at a glance

• Original: largest pouch, most intense release, e.g. Siberia Brown Power with around 43 mg per pouch (1.0 g).
• White Dry: dry, white pouch, less dripping.
• Slim: narrow, elongated pouch that sits more discreetly under the lip.
• Mini: small pouch with less snus per portion.

You can read more about the differences between formats in the article Snus formats: Mini, Slim and Large.

Who is Siberia suitable for?

Siberia is one of the strongest commercially available snus lines and is intended exclusively for experienced users. If you are not yet used to snus, start with a much milder variety. Too high a dose can cause dizziness, nausea, palpitations or sweating. In that case, remove the portion immediately. If symptoms are severe, Tox Info Suisse can help on 145, or call 144 in an emergency.

Tips for handling very strong snus:

• Prefer a smaller format such as Slim or Mini.
• Do not leave the portion under the lip longer than necessary.
• Do not use several portions at the same time.
• Always keep snus out of the reach of children and pets.

If you do not smoke or use nicotine, do not start. Smoke-free products are not risk-free either.

Storage

Snus is a fresh product. Unopened cans are best stored cool, for example in the fridge. Keep an opened can tightly closed and use it up within a few days so that flavour and consistency are preserved. You will find practical cans and stash solutions for on the go under Storage and stashes.
