Prices, doses and pouch counts on this page are read from our own catalogue and from the per-can fact sheets we compile, as the shelf stood on the review date above. How we research and correct these pages.
Short answer: Fresh Mint is the Skruf flavour we rank first, with Nordic Liquorice just behind it. If it is your first Skruf can, start on Nordic Liquorice instead — it is the gentlest dose in this shortlist.
Skruf has been making snus since 2002 and its Super White pouches carry that inheritance: restrained, consistent, and built to last rather than to announce themselves. Reviewers consistently describe the flavours as well balanced and not overly sweet, and — the detail that comes up most — as holding for around forty-five minutes, which is long by the standards of this shelf. The range is small and Nordic in character, with a liquorice and a eucalyptus sitting alongside the mints, and most flavours are offered at both an ordinary dose and an Xtra tier above it.
Skruf runs from 6 mg to 11.5 mg a pouch, across 7 distinct flavours and 11 cans. The range splits roughly 71/29 between cold flavours and fruit, so there is a real choice to make rather than a house style to accept. Every can that states a format is slim; 1 of 11 state none. The tastes on offer are Mint, Berry, Eucalyptus & Menthol, Liquorice, Purple Cassice and Superwhite Crystal Fresh. Every can is made by Skruf Snus.
The Skruf range at a glance
The 7 that made this page are Fresh Mint, Nordic Liquorice, Purple Cassice, Frozen Mint, Polar Eucalyptus, Superwhite Indigo Berry and Superwhite Crystal Fresh. That is every flavour Skruf makes that we carry — the Skruf brand page lists all 11 cans.
If this is not the range for you, the places to look next are the full Skruf range, every nicotine pouch we carry and the ten best flavours across every brand.
Skruf publishes 6 distinct doses between 6 mg and 11.5 mg, which is unusually granular — most brands on this shelf pick two or three and stop.
For scale: we publish pages for 70 brands and 1,095 pouch cans, in stock or not, and Skruf is the 34th widest range of them by number of distinct flavours. Its top dose of 11.5 mg is a quarter of the strongest figure on our shelf (50 mg), which makes it one of the gentler brands we carry rather than a compromise on one. Every can here that prints a format prints the same one, slim; the other 1 do not say, so we do not either.

The 7 best Skruf flavours, ranked
Each card carries the can we would actually send you, our own photograph of it, and the dose and format as the tin states them. None of the Skruf cans has been through our tasting bench yet, so there are no taste scores on this page — we would rather show nothing than a guess.
Fresh Mint
Our pick4.5/5
The catalogue files it under Mint. It is one of the flavours Skruf offers across a spread of strengths — 6–11 mg — so the taste can be kept while the dose moves. We list 3 cans of it.

- Worth knowing:
- we are between shipments on this one — the page will show a live count when it lands.

How these are scored. Out of five, computed rather than felt. A flavour starts at 2.0 and earns up to 1.0 for how many cans Skruf presses of it, up to 0.5 for how far it spreads across formats and strengths, up to 0.5 for how common that taste is across the 1,095 cans we list from every brand, up to 0.75 for outside consensus, and 0.25 if we can ship it today. Nothing reaches five on catalogue shape alone — a flavour with no outside evidence tops out at 4.25. Sales are deliberately not an input: there are not enough of them yet to make one honest, and a popularity figure with nothing behind it is worse than none.
Choosing between them
The shortlist above is ordered by evidence, which is not the same as ordered by what suits you. These are the shortcuts.
- Never had one before. Nordic Liquorice at 6–11.5 mg — the gentlest dose on this page.
- You have built a tolerance. Superwhite Crystal Fresh is the highest dose on this page at 11.5 mg.
- You just want the best one. Fresh Mint, at 4.5 out of 5 on our ranking recipe — people new to Skruf, or to pouches generally — it is the gentlest dose in this shortlist.
Strength, and the Canadian 4 mg line
Skruf prints 6 different figures on its tins, from 6 mg to 11.5 mg a pouch: 6 mg, 8 mg, 9 mg, 10 mg, 11 mg and 11.5 mg. Canada draws its regulatory line at 4 mg of nicotine per pouch — at or below it a pouch can be sold as a non-prescription natural health product, above it the Prescription Drug List places it among prescription drugs. That puts 6 of Skruf's 6 stated strengths above the line. It is a statement about how a product is regulated rather than about how it feels.

What is the best Skruf flavour?
Fresh Mint. It scores 4.5 out of 5 on the recipe printed under the ranking above, which weighs how many cans Skruf presses of it, how far it spreads across formats and strengths, outside consensus, and whether we can ship it today.
Which Skruf flavour should I start with?
Nordic Liquorice, at 6–11.5 mg. Starting at the gentlest dose in a range and moving up is easier than starting high and trying to come down.
How strong are Skruf pouches?
Skruf cans we list run from 6 mg to 11.5 mg of nicotine per pouch.
How many pouches are in a can of Skruf?
24 pouches per can across the range.
What Skruf flavours are there?
We list 7 distinct Skruf flavours across 11 cans. The 7 ranked on this page are Fresh Mint, Nordic Liquorice, Purple Cassice, Frozen Mint, Polar Eucalyptus, Superwhite Indigo Berry and Superwhite Crystal Fresh.
Who makes Skruf?
Skruf Snus, as recorded on the cans we stock — the same maker across all 11 of them.
What strengths does Skruf come in?
6 of them: 6 mg, 8 mg, 9 mg, 10 mg, 11 mg and 11.5 mg per pouch. All of them sit above Canada's 4 mg regulatory line, so this is not a range to start on.
Can I buy Skruf in Canada?
Yes — we ship Skruf right across Canada from Richmond, BC. Availability moves between shipments, and every product page shows a live stock count rather than a number baked in when the page was built.
What we read, and what we could not link
The consensus line on each card is our own summary of 5 independent flavour rankings and community threads about Skruf. Most flavour "reviews" in this category are published by shops that sell the same cans we do, so we read them and do not link them — a link from us is not something a competitor should earn by writing about a pouch. What we do link is anything that is not selling you something: the manufacturer, the regulator, and our own catalogue, which you can check line by line.
