Siberia Snus – Original, All White & what you can buy in Germany
Are you looking for Siberia Snus or Siberia -80 Degrees? Then this guide is exactly what you need. Siberia is one of the most famous and strongest snus brands in the world – but not all of it is legally available in Germany. Here you will learn the difference between the original tobacco snus and the tobacco-free Siberia All White version, what you can buy in Germany, and why Siberia is known for its extreme nicotine content.
What is Siberia Snus?
Siberia is a brand from the Swedish manufacturer GN Tobacco and was launched in the 2000s as a classic tobacco snus. The brand name Siberia -80 Degrees refers to minus 80 degrees Celsius – the extreme cold of Siberia – and stands for the intense cooling effect of the peppermint aroma as well as the sheer strength of the product.
The original – recognizable by its red can – is a moist tobacco snus that is placed under the upper lip. It contains real tobacco and one of the highest nicotine contents of all snus products worldwide: approx. 43 mg/g. This is exactly what makes Siberia a legend among snus users.
Siberia is available in two basic versions: Original (with tobacco) – only legal in Sweden – and All White (tobacco-free) – available in Germany as nicotine pouches. Both have the same intense peppermint flavor and extreme strength.
Siberia Snus in Germany – what is permitted?
This is the most important point: Classic Siberia Snus with tobacco may not be sold in Germany. The EU has banned the sale of oral tobacco (snus) in all member states – with one exception: Sweden, which negotiated this exception when joining the EU in 1995.
| Product | Contains Tobacco | Buy in Germany |
|---|---|---|
| Siberia -80 Degrees (Original) | Yes | Not permitted |
| Siberia All White | No | Orderable for adults |
| Chewing Tobacco | Yes | Largely tolerated in DE |
Anyone who imports Siberia Original from abroad or orders it via foreign shops is operating in a legal grey area. The private import of tobacco snus is not explicitly forbidden, but its commercial sale in Germany is. Stay away from German suppliers offering tobacco snus.
Chewing Tobacco – Tobacco for Chewing
In contrast to snus, chewing tobacco is not placed under the lip but chewed in the mouth – and thus falls into a different product category. It is available in Germany in some shops and has a long tradition in North America and Scandinavia.
Those looking for a real tobacco taste will find an alternative in chewing tobacco – however, it is not a modern, discreet solution like nicotine pouches.
Siberia is often declared as Chewing Bags, but the pouches are actually regular snus bags. This represents a grey area. Therefore, we cannot recommend purchasing these products.
Snus is placed under the lip and not chewed. Chewing tobacco is actively chewed. Both contain tobacco and nicotine – but they fall under different product categories and regulations.
Siberia All White – the Original without Tobacco
Siberia All White is GN Tobacco's answer to the EU market: the same extreme strength, the same peppermint flavor – but completely without tobacco. Instead of tobacco, Siberia All White contains a cellulose filling with high-dose nicotine. This makes the product a nicotine pouch that can be ordered by adults aged 18 and over in Germany.
The nicotine content is extreme: 33 mg/g – which corresponds to 24.75 mg per pouch. The original with tobacco has 43 mg/g, but even 33 mg/g is well above the average of commercially available nicotine pouches.

The difference between Slim and Super Slim lies in the format: Super Slim is narrower and sits more discreetly under the lip. Slim is slightly wider and provides more mouthfeel. The strength is identical for both. Extremely Strong is somewhat cheaper and aimed at users who want to get to know Siberia – but be careful: this variety is also extremely strong.
How strong is Siberia really?
Siberia All White is among the strongest nicotine pouches in the world. With 33 mg/g (24.75 mg per pouch), Siberia All White is well above average. The original with tobacco even has 43 mg/g – but that is not available in Germany.
| Brand / Variety | Nicotine content | For whom |
|---|---|---|
| Velo (strong) | 17 mg/g | Experienced users |
| White Fox Full Charge | 30 mg/g | Very experienced users |
| Siberia All White | 33 mg/g / 24.75 mg/pouch | Only experts |
| Cuba Black | 66 mg/g | Extreme |
Due to its extreme strength, Siberia is not suitable for beginners. High amounts of nicotine can cause dizziness, nausea, and heart palpitations. Those new to nicotine pouches should start with a mild strength and gradually work their way up.
