R42

R42 is a Swedish tobacco snus brand produced by Swedish Match, designed exclusively around the super strong segment. All varieties run at 26 mg/g nicotine in a white portion format, covering Original, Classic and three mint profiles — Cool Mint, Peppermint and Green Mint. As a tobacco-containing product, R42 is not available through Snusdaddy NZ. For Kiwis who used R42 specifically for its high-strength delivery and mint character, we carry tobacco-free nicotine pouches that approach comparable strength levels — legal for personal import into New Zealand and delivered in 5–8 working days.

R42 Snus – Not Available in New Zealand

Snusdaddy NZ supplies tobacco-free nicotine pouches. R42 Snus contains tobacco and is therefore not stocked in the New Zealand catalogue. The alternatives below are the closest available matches to R42's two main use cases — high-strength mint and high-strength neutral/tobacco — in a tobacco-free format that is legal to import into New Zealand.

Tobacco-Free Alternatives Available for NZ Delivery

PRODUCT	STRENGTH	WHY IT MATCHES
White Fox Black	22.5 mg/pouch · Slim	For R42 Cool Mint, Peppermint and Green Mint users. White Fox Black is the strongest mint-profile tobacco-free pouch in the NZ range at 22.5 mg/pouch — the closest available equivalent to R42's 26 mg/g mint varieties in terms of both nicotine delivery and format. The mint character is clean and direct. For users who specifically used R42 because it delivered meaningful strength alongside a mint profile, White Fox Black is the honest recommendation.	View →
Siberia –80 All White Original Portion	24.7 mg/pouch · Regular	For R42 Original and Classic users. Siberia All White Original Portion is one of the closest tobacco-free equivalents to R42's high-strength neutral varieties in terms of nicotine level, at 24.7 mg/pouch. The flavour profile is a light, clean mint rather than a neutral tobacco character — Siberia's brand identity is built around cooling — but the delivery mechanism and strength tier are the most direct available match for R42 Original users who want comparable nicotine impact in a tobacco-free format.

ZYN Slim Cool Mint Ice Ultra Strong	16.5 mg/pouch · Slim	For R42 mint users who want a Swedish Match tobacco-free product from the same manufacturer. ZYN Cool Mint Ice Ultra Strong is Swedish Match's strongest tobacco-free mint offering in the NZ range — the same company that makes R42. At 16.5 mg/pouch it sits below R42's 26 mg/g ceiling, but for users transitioning away from tobacco snus who want a familiar mint character from a familiar manufacturer, it is the most natural step.

What Is R42 Snus?

R42 is a Swedish tobacco snus brand produced by Swedish Match, one of the largest and longest-established snus manufacturers in the world. Unlike Swedish Match's broader brands — General, Göteborgs Rapè, Ettan — which cover a range of strengths and formats, R42 was built specifically around the super strong segment. Every product in the range shares the same 26 mg/g nicotine content and white portion format.

The range covers five varieties. Original and Classic are the unflavoured or lightly tobacco-inflected options for users who want high strength without added flavouring. Cool Mint, Peppermint and Green Mint represent distinct takes on the mint profile: Cool Mint is the most broadly accessible, Peppermint has a stronger herbal character, and Green Mint leans toward a softer spearmint direction. All five run at the same strength, making R42 a deliberately focused product family rather than a broad catalogue.

The brand occupies an unusual position: super strong snus with Swedish Match production quality and Swedish Match pricing. For users who wanted R42's strength tier specifically — not Siberia's extreme levels, not a budget brand, but a reliable super strong from a mainstream manufacturer — it filled a specific gap in the market.

Why R42 Snus Is Not Available in New Zealand

R42 Snus is a tobacco snus product — it contains processed tobacco leaf and is subject to tobacco product regulations. Snusdaddy NZ supplies tobacco-free nicotine pouches, which contain no tobacco leaf or plant material and are legal for personal import into New Zealand under the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990. Tobacco snus is a separate product category and is not part of the Snusdaddy NZ range. Swedish Match also produces ZYN, their tobacco-free nicotine pouch brand, which is available through Snusdaddy NZ.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy R42 Snus in New Zealand?

Not through Snusdaddy NZ. R42 is a tobacco snus product and Snusdaddy NZ stocks only tobacco-free nicotine pouches. For the closest available alternatives at comparable strength, White Fox Black (22.5 mg) covers the mint profiles and Siberia All White Original Portion (24.7 mg) is the most direct strength equivalent for Original and Classic users.

Who makes R42 Snus?

R42 is produced by Swedish Match, a Swedish tobacco company with one of the longest histories in snus manufacturing. Swedish Match also produces General snus, Göteborgs Rapè, Ettan, and the ZYN tobacco-free nicotine pouch range. ZYN is available through Snusdaddy NZ; the tobacco snus brands including R42 are not.

What is the tobacco-free equivalent of R42 for NZ delivery?

There is no single tobacco-free product that directly replicates all of R42's characteristics. For the mint varieties at high strength, White Fox Black at 22.5 mg/pouch is the closest available option in the NZ range. For R42 Original/Classic users primarily interested in the strength level rather than a specific flavour, Siberia All White Original Portion at 24.7 mg comes closest to R42's nicotine tier. For those who want a Swedish Match tobacco-free product specifically, ZYN Cool Mint Ice Ultra Strong at 16.5 mg is the strongest ZYN variant available in NZ.

How does R42 compare to ZYN?

Both are Swedish Match products, but they are different product categories. R42 is a tobacco snus — it contains processed tobacco leaf. ZYN is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch — no tobacco leaf at all. R42 runs at 26 mg/g across all varieties; ZYN in the NZ range peaks at 16.5 mg/pouch in the Ultra Strong format. R42 is not available in New Zealand; ZYN is. If you used R42 and are looking for a tobacco-free Swedish Match product for NZ delivery, ZYN is the answer — with the understanding that the strongest available option is at a lower nicotine level than R42.

Is R42 stronger than Siberia snus?

No. R42 runs at 26 mg/g, while Siberia –80 reaches 43 mg/g in its strongest formats. R42 is a super strong snus by conventional measures, but Siberia occupies a different tier entirely. In the tobacco-free category, Siberia All White products in the NZ range run between 18 and 30 mg/pouch depending on format — all exceeding R42's nicotine level.

Erik Rosengren – Owner, Snusdaddy

R42 was Swedish Match doing something they don't often do — going into the super strong segment with a focused product rather than a single variant buried in a bigger range. The result was five varieties that all hit 26 mg/g consistently, which is harder to do well than it sounds. For users moving to tobacco-free, the honest answer is that the NZ range doesn't have a tobacco-free Swedish Match product at 26 mg/g — ZYN peaks at 16.5 mg in the Ultra Strong format. If the manufacturer matters more than the exact strength level, ZYN Cool Mint Ice Ultra Strong is the right call. If the strength level matters more, White Fox Blackat 22.5 mg or Siberia All White Original at 24.7 mg are the realistic options. Questions?
