Siberia -80 Degrees White Dry Portion - Expert Review

In my early days of snus, there weren’t products this strong. Actually, the strongest snus you could get was “Extra Stark”, which usually was in the 16-17mg/g range. In 2011, GN Tobacco launched Oden’s Extreme, which would raise the nicotine ceiling to 22mg/g. They weren’t quite satisfied with that, and pushed the envelope a little further with the launch of Siberia in 2015. Siberia is one of the most popular products on the market, as well as one of the strongest, available today. Their “Red” version if the flagship of the Siberia family, which now includes non-mint products such as Siberia Black, that has a floral tobacco taste. But when it comes to Siberia snus, Siberia -80 Degrees White Dry Portion is the one most snusers think of.

extremely strong. The flavor on a white dry portion usually lasts up to 1.5 hours, which I notice with most GN products. With this one, I've never been able to keep it in longer than 20 minutes, however friends I know who use Siberia have said they observe a 1.5-2 hour lifespan with the flavor of this one, which is pretty impressive.

Wrap-Up & Recommendation:

The world of snus has changed a lot over the years. The flavors have all graduated to a mint majority, and the nicotine strengths have pushed higher and higher. Siberia stands at the top of the mountain, with a powerful mint flavor, and an extremely strong nicotine strength. If you watch social media, or places snus users congregate, you’ll notice Siberia is one that is frequently brought up as a snuser’s best friend, and one many people use as their full time snus product. This one also comes in the slim white dry format, so if you find the pouch size too big, that is another variant that you can look into.

Snubie’s Opinion:

I’ve never been one to use a lot of high-octane snus. Honestly, I find the most comfort at 8-12mg/g. This is a very popular snus, and it goes to show you there’s something for everyone. Siberia has never been one that I’ve used, nor has it ever been a part of my personal rotation. It’s just a bit too much for me. However, I have a lot of friends who use it and swear by it as their favorite product. It’s just not one that is for me, personally.
