There are several types of snus available, catering to different preferences. Here are the most common varieties:
1. Portion Snus
Portion snus is the most common form and is sold in small, pre-portioned pouches, similar to tea bags. The pouches come in different sizes (mini, regular, and large) and moisture levels (original and white). Original portions are moister and deliver a quicker release of nicotine, while white portions are drier and provide a slower, more prolonged release.
2. Loose Snus
Loose snus is less processed and comes in a loose, powdered form. Users pinch or form a small amount of tobacco into a ball or wedge, often referred to as a “prilla,” before placing it under their lip. Loose snus is typically favored by users who want more control over the amount and experience a more intense flavor.
3. White Snus
White snus is a less moist form of portion snus. Because it's drier, it lasts longer in the mouth without breaking down or becoming too wet. White snus tends to be more discreet in use and often provides a slower release of flavor and nicotine.
4. Flavored Snus
Many brands offer snus in a variety of flavors to enhance the experience. Popular flavors include mint, berry, citrus, and licorice. These flavors can make snus more appealing for users who prefer a specific taste, and they add variety to the product options.
