WOW!
Page last reviewed: February 2026. Snusdaddy NZ stocks tobacco-free nicotine pouches only. This page is reviewed regularly to reflect changes in our NZ range and import regulations.
WOW Snus – Not Available in New Zealand
WOW snus is not available through Snusdaddy New Zealand. Our NZ store is built around a single category: 100% tobacco-free nicotine pouches. WOW is a traditional Swedish tobacco snus made by GN Tobacco, and tobacco snus sits outside what we supply to Kiwi customers.
If you've landed here because you enjoy WOW snus – that sweet, accessible tobacco base with honey and mint notes at approachable strength levels – there are tobacco-free alternatives in our NZ range that come genuinely close. Jump straight to our recommendations below, or read on for the full story.

If You Like WOW, Try These
WOW is defined by three things: sweet, easy-going flavour profiles built around honey, mint, and berries, accessible regular-to-medium strength levels, and the reliable production quality of GN Tobacco. The three products below match one or more of those qualities – all tobacco-free, all in stock for NZ delivery.
| Product | Why it matches WOW | Strength | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| White Fox Double Mint | Made by GN Tobacco – the exact same manufacturer as WOW. White Fox Double Mint delivers a clean, cool mint profile in a tobacco-free slim all-white format. The most direct like-for-like transition from WOW Wintermint for Kiwis who want to stay with the same producer. | 12mg/pouch Slim format |

| ZYN Slim Apple Mint Strong | A sweet, rounded mint with a mild apple note that mirrors WOW's accessible, non-aggressive flavour approach. The softness of the apple profile echoes the honey sweetness of WOW's best-known varieties. A natural starting point for Kiwis who liked WOW's gentle, approachable character. | 9.1mg/pouch Slim format |
View product → |
| Skruf Super White No. 54 Fresh Slim | Clean, restrained mint at a comfortable strong level – the tobacco-free equivalent of a reliable everyday snus with no-frills character. For Kiwis who valued WOW for consistency and accessibility rather than its specific flavour profile, Skruf Super White is the most dependable like-for-like substitute. | 9mg/pouch Slim format |

Not sure where to start? White Fox Double Mint is our top pick for most users switching from WOW – same manufacturer, tobacco-free format, and a mint profile that translates naturally from WOW Wintermint.
What Is WOW Snus?
WOW is a Swedish tobacco snus brand produced by GN Tobacco – a company based in Sollefteå in northern Sweden, and one of the country's most prolific snus and nicotine pouch producers. GN Tobacco is the manufacturer behind several well-known brands including Siberia, Oden's, White Fox, and Bulldог. WOW was developed as GN Tobacco's accessible, flavour-forward entry point into the snus market: a brand explicitly designed to appeal to users who find traditional Swedish snus flavours too austere or tobacco-forward, and who want something sweeter and more immediately approachable.
The brand launched with three core varieties: WOW Wintermint – a candy-like mint with a white portion format and regular strength – WOW Sunny Honey – a sweet honey-and-tobacco profile at regular strength – and WOW Summer Honey Explosion – a honey-flavoured product at extreme strength (43mg/g) aimed at very high-tolerance users looking for bold flavour at maximum nicotine levels. The range was later expanded with additional white portion and white dry varieties.
WOW's flavour strategy was unusual by Swedish standards. Traditional Swedish snus brands – General, Göteborgs Rapé, Röda Lacket – are built around restrained, complex tobacco profiles with botanical undertones. WOW took the opposite direction: maximum sweetness, candy-forward flavour, and a deliberately approachable character that made the brand popular with users who were new to snus or who found the category's traditional offerings too harsh. The Sunny Honey variety in particular found a following among Scandinavian users who had never engaged with snus before, acting as a gateway product into the broader category.
GN Tobacco continues to produce WOW alongside its broader snus and nicotine pouch portfolio. The brand remains available in Scandinavian and European markets, but as a traditional tobacco snus it falls outside what Snusdaddy NZ supplies to Kiwi customers.
Why We Don't Stock It in New Zealand
WOW contains tobacco plant material in every portion. Snusdaddy NZ supplies tobacco-free nicotine pouches only – every product we carry for Kiwi customers is 100% tobacco-free, all-white, and imported under New Zealand's personal-use nicotine product regulations. Traditional tobacco snus is a separate product category entirely and sits outside the scope of what we supply to New Zealand customers.
If you're based in Europe, our European stores carry a full snus range. For New Zealand customers, the tobacco-free alternatives listed above are the practical path to a similar experience.
Tobacco Snus vs Tobacco-Free Pouches – What Changes?
Both formats are used identically: placed under the upper lip, held for 20–45 minutes, then discarded. The differences lie in what's inside and a few practical consequences for the user:
| WOW (tobacco snus) | White Fox / ZYN / Skruf Super White (tobacco-free) | |
|---|---|---|
| Contains tobacco | Yes | No |
| Formats available | White Portion, White Dry Portion | Pre-portioned slim and regular all-white pouches |
| Staining | Can stain teeth and gums | All-white – no staining |
| Drip | White portions: low drip; White Dry: no drip | Dry surface, no drip |
| Flavour release | Gradual (white) or slow (white dry) | Gradual, consistent release throughout session |
| Available via Snusdaddy NZ | No | Yes – delivered in 5–8 working days |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy WOW snus in New Zealand?
Not through Snusdaddy NZ. Our New Zealand store stocks tobacco-free nicotine pouches only, and WOW is a traditional tobacco snus. If you're looking for a similar sweet, accessible flavour experience without tobacco, we recommend starting with White Fox Double Mint (same manufacturer, tobacco-free) or ZYN Slim Apple Mint Strong for a sweeter, rounder mint profile.
Who makes WOW snus?
WOW is manufactured by GN Tobacco, based in Sollefteå, Sweden. GN Tobacco also makes White Fox nicotine pouches, which are available through Snusdaddy NZ. Browse the full White Fox NZ range to see all tobacco-free options from the same manufacturer.
What does WOW snus taste like?
WOW Wintermint has a sweet, candy-like mint character with a soft, approachable profile – less austere than traditional Swedish snus. WOW Sunny Honey combines a mild tobacco base with prominent honey sweetness, making it one of the more unusual flavour profiles in the Swedish snus market. WOW Summer Honey Explosion delivers the same honey character at extreme nicotine strength (43mg/g). Among tobacco-free products, White Fox Double Mint and ZYN Slim Apple Mint Strong are the closest available matches for Kiwi customers.
Is tobacco snus legal to import to New Zealand personally?
Regulations around tobacco product imports are a matter for New Zealand Customs and the Ministry of Health, and we're not the right source for legal advice on that. What we supply and ship to New Zealand customers are tobacco-free nicotine pouches, which are legal to import for personal use under the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990.
