Also known as wet portion snus, original or regular strength portion snus receives an extra drop of water before going into the can. This allows the flavor to release in your mouth quicker and stronger than a white or dry portion snus. On the flip side, the flavor generally does not last as long as that of a white portion.

Depending on individual taste, many snusers use both original and white portion snus, depending on the brand. Nicotine levels in original/regular portion snus are usually around 8mg/portion +- 1mg. This is equivalent to that of one cigarette.
