Every can of Siberia carries the marking −80 °C. People regularly take it for a storage temperature or a measure of strength. It is neither.
It is a product name
−80 °C is part of the brand name, in the same way as “Ice Cold” is for Pablo or “Extreme” is for Garant. The number stands for the cooling the flavor promises, not for a physical quantity. It appears on every variety — on Red, on Black and on Blue — even though those varieties differ markedly in flavor and nicotine content. That alone shows the figure cannot be a measurement.
What it does not mean
Not a storage temperature
Siberia does not have to be stored at −80 °C — that is beyond any household appliance. Stored cool and closed, flavor and moisture last longer; an ordinary refrigerator is enough. Freezing is not necessary.
Not a measure of strength
Strength is stated separately on the can, in milligrams of nicotine per gram. Red and Black sit at around 43, Blue at around 24 mg per gram — with an identical −80 °C marking. The number on the front therefore says nothing about how strong the chewing tobacco is. The full list is under Siberia Nikotingehalt.
Not an age and not a variety code
The 80 is not a year, a quantity or a strength level. Anyone searching for “Siberia 80” usually means the brand as a whole, not a particular version.
What actually separates the varieties
Three figures carry the information, not the number on the front:
- Nicotine per gram — around 43 for Red and Black, around 24 for Blue.
- Moisture — White Dry is extra dry on the outside, White slightly moister.
- Format — Mini, Slim or Regular.
Frequently asked questions
Does Siberia have to be stored at −80 °C?
No. The figure is not a storage instruction. Cool and closed is enough; a refrigerator will do.
Is Siberia −80 °C stronger than other Siberia varieties?
The marking appears on every variety, so it distinguishes none of them. What counts is the concentration in milligrams per gram.
What does the 80 mean at Siberia?
It is part of the product name and stands for the cooling profile of the flavor.
Is there a Siberia without the −80 °C marking?
Not in this range. Every version stocked carries it — the overview is under All Siberia products.
