Cuba Snus Lines Explained for France, Lightest to Strongest
Key takeaways
- Cuba has three lines on our French shelf: White at 10.4mg, Ninja at 15.6mg and Black at 43mg a pouch.
- The Ice editions are 30mg a pouch, and the Ninja 150mg range is the strongest on the chart.
- On our scale, White and Ninja are Medium, while the Ice editions, Black and Ninja at 150mg are Extreme.
- Mg per pouch is the figure to compare between cans, because mg per gram only describes concentration.
- A nicotine pouch is kept in for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your preference.
There are three Cuba lines on our shelf in France, and they run from White at 10.4mg, through Ninja at 15.6mg, to Black at 43mg a pouch, with Ice editions at 30mg and a Ninja range at 150mg slotted into the order by strength. Our Cuba nicotine pouches are made by Nicotobacco, a manufacturer of nicotine pouches and snus, and every line comes in the same slim format, so the name on the can tells you about strength rather than size.
Plenty of searches here start from a half remembered number, usually 150 or 43, attached to a line name that could belong to any of several cans, whether the searcher is in Paris, Lyon or Marseille. The chart sorts that out first, lightest to strongest, and the sections after it explain why each line sits where it does, then walk through the White flavours one by one.
| Line | Strength per pouch | Place on our scale | What sets it apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cuba White | 10.4mg | Medium | The lowest strength per pouch on the Cuba shelf, white slim pouches, 20 to a can, fruit, cola and mint |
| Cuba Ninja | 15.6mg | Medium | White slim pouches, 25 to a can, flavours such as Bubblegum, Energy and Liquorice |
| Cuba Ice editions (White and Black names) | 30mg | Extreme | Ice Berry, Ice Fruit and Ice Mint, 30mg whichever colour word is in the title |
| Cuba Black | 43mg | Extreme | Black slim pouches, 66mg/g, 20 to a can, a wide flavour list including three mints |
| Cuba Ninja 150mg | 150mg | Extreme | The Ninja line at its highest strength, in Bubblegum, Energy, Ice Cool, Mint Fresh, Orange, Pina Colada and Strawberry |
What do mg per pouch and mg per gram actually tell you?
Mg per pouch is the amount of nicotine in a single pouch, while mg per gram describes how concentrated the filling is, and the two only meet once you know what a pouch weighs. A supermarket biscuit makes the point nicely: the sugar per 100g on the packet describes the recipe, but the sugar in the one biscuit on your saucer describes what you actually had with your coffee. For every strength in the range, the page on mg per pouch for each Cuba strength goes line by line.
For Cuba, the concentration is 16mg/g for White, 30mg/g for Ninja and 66mg/g for Black. Multiply a concentration by the weight of one pouch in grams and you land on the per pouch figures in the chart, so a 66 on a Black can describes the recipe, while 43mg describes the pouch. That is why this page quotes the per pouch figure throughout, sitting beside our own scale of Light 1 to 8mg, Medium 8 to 16mg, Strong 16 to 25mg and Extreme 25mg and over. On paper, a Black pouch carries just over four times the nicotine of a White pouch, 43mg against 10.4mg.
How long does a Cuba pouch stay in, and how do you use one?
A nicotine pouch is kept in for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your preference, and that applies to every Cuba line. The slim pouch sits under the lip, and the time is yours to set. A commuter in Paris might keep one in for the length of the Métro ride and a little beyond, while somebody settled on a sofa in Lille might happily go for the full hour. If you want the fuller picture, the page on how long a Cuba pouch lasts covers it in detail.
The line you choose decides the strength, and the time in the mouth is a separate dial. So, a first pouch from the lighter end of the chart and a first pouch from the Extreme end are placed in exactly the same way. Step by step guidance for a beginner lives on the page about using your first Cuba pouch, which is worth a read before the first can arrives.
Which Cuba line has the lowest strength, and what comes after it?
White is the lowest strength Cuba line at 10.4mg a pouch, and everything else climbs from there in a clear order. Ninja follows at 15.6mg, which is still Medium on our scale, sitting just under the 16mg boundary. Next come the Ice editions at 30mg, which is where the Extreme band begins at 25mg and over, then Black at 43mg, and last the Ninja range at 150mg a pouch.
The line names do not rise in a tidy colour order, which is the main reason the chart goes by milligrams. Black sounds like the end of the road until Ninja at 150mg turns up. Readers who care most about taste can find the full flavour order on the page about which Cuba flavours rank best, where each flavour gets a proper placing for French shoppers.
Who makes Cuba, and what is in the pouch?
Cuba is made by Nicotobacco, a manufacturer of nicotine pouches and snus that has been making nicotine pouches since 2020, and the pouches are made in Poland. They do not contain tobacco leaves: a pouch is built from fibre, cellulose, nicotine and flavourings, with food grade ingredients throughout. For a wider look at the brand, there is a short page on what Cuba is.
The cans follow a simple pattern. White and Black come with 20 pouches to a can, Ninja with 25, and all three lines use the slim format. The pouch colour changes with the line, black for Black and white for White and Ninja, so a quick glance at the open can tells you which line you are holding, though the mg figure on the lid is the more reliable guide.
Can Cuba be delivered to France?
We deliver to France, and a Cuba order is handled the same way whether it is heading for an apartment in Paris, a flat above a boulangerie in Lyon or a harbour view in Marseille. Our French shelf currently lists 63 Cuba products across the lines in the chart, so every strength on this page can be picked from one place. The route into the range, and how ordering works, is set out on the page about buying Cuba in France.
What is the Cuba White line like?
Cuba White is the line for readers who want Cuba flavours at 10.4mg a pouch, and the ten cans below all share that figure. The maker calls White a smoother and more balanced take on Black, and the flavour list leans towards fruit, cola and cool mint. The comparisons that follow are editorial ones, drawn from French kitchen cupboards rather than from a laboratory.
Fruit and berry flavours
Cuba White Apple Juice 10.4mg is the orchard end of the shelf, sweet and clean, like the first sip from a carton at a school fete. Cuba White Banana Hit 10.4mg is the cheerful one, banana in the manner of a sweet rather than a fruit bowl. Cuba White Blackberry 10.4mg brings a darker, jammier note, and Cuba White Blackcurrant 10.4mg is the one to try if sirop de cassis topped up with cold water was part of your childhood.
Cuba White Blueberry 10.4mg sits on the gentler side of the berries, and Cuba White Cherry 10.4mg has the sweet, slightly sharp edge of a cherry sweet rather than a fresh cherry. Between them, those six cover most of what people mean when they ask for a fruity Cuba.
Cola, Cold Dry and the berry finish
Cuba White Cola 10.4mg tastes like a fizzy drink poured over ice, minus the fizz. Cuba White Cold Dry 10.4mg belongs to the mint group, and in an editorial comparison it sits closer to a chewing gum à la menthe verte than to a bonbon mentholé.
The last two are berry and grape. Cuba White Forest Berries 10.4mg reads like confiture de fruits rouges on a tartine, sweet first with a little tartness behind it. Cuba White Grape 10.4mg is the plain, sugary bright grape of a boiled sweet, and it makes a tidy end to the line.
Where does Ninja fit, including the 150mg range?
Ninja is the middle line at 15.6mg a pouch, and it also has a separate range at 150mg a pouch for readers who want the top of the chart. The standard Ninja pouches are white and slim, with a concentration of 30mg/g and 25 pouches to a can, five more than White or Black. Flavours stretch from Bubblegum and Energy to Liquorice, Orange and Strawberry, so it is a livelier list than the fruit and berry bias of White.
The 150mg figure is where many French searches land, usually as something like Cuba Ninja 150mg. On our shelf that number is the strength per pouch, and it belongs to the Ninja line, in flavours that include Bubblegum, Energy, Ice Cool, Mint Fresh, Orange, Pina Colada and Strawberry. It sits well inside the Extreme band, so it is the last step on the chart rather than a starting point.
What are the Ice editions at 30mg?
The Ice editions are three flavours, Ice Berry, Ice Fruit and Ice Mint, each listed at 30mg a pouch, which puts them in the Extreme band between Ninja and Black. They carry a White or a Black name in the product title, but the strength is 30mg for both, so the milligram figure is the thing to read rather than the colour word. In practice, that makes them a handy step on the chart for anyone who finds White too light and Black too far along.
The flavour idea is straightforward: berry, mixed fruit and mint, each with a cooling finish. Think of the difference between a normal fruit sweet and the same sweet with a menthol edge, and the Ice editions make sense immediately.
What is the Cuba Black line, and why do people link it with 150?
Cuba Black is the 43mg line, with black slim pouches, 66mg/g and 20 pouches to a can, and the maker describes it as made for experienced users. People often pair Black with 150 in searches such as cuba black snus 150mg, but the two numbers belong to different lines: Black is 43mg a pouch, and 150mg belongs to Ninja. Once that is clear, the chart reads very easily.
Black carries a wide flavour list that mirrors much of White, so the Apple Juice, Cherry, Cola and Forest Berries ideas from earlier all have a Black counterpart at the higher strength. Black also has three mint flavours, Cold Dry, Double Fresh and Ice Spearmint. For a reader in Bordeaux or Lille choosing a first Black can, the sensible move is to pick a flavour already enjoyed in White, then step up the strength with the taste kept familiar.
How should you pick a Cuba line?
Start with the strength on the chart, then choose the flavour family, and treat the 30 to 60 minutes as your own dial. White at 10.4mg and Ninja at 15.6mg are the two Medium lines, the Ice editions and Black sit in the Extreme band at 30mg and 43mg, and Ninja at 150mg tops the chart. Changing one thing at a time, line first and then flavour, keeps the comparison easy to follow.
When the number is settled, you can purchase snus from the full French shelf, or browse the wider range of our nicotine pouches on the homepage.
