Two British berries in one XQS can
Raspberry and blackcurrant are the two fruits every British childhood ran on, from the cordial to the ice lolly, and XQS has put them in one snus can. XQS is a Swedish brand under Scandinavian Tobacco Group, which the maker dates to 2005 in Jämtland. There is one range, each can a flavour and a number, and this is the brand's double berry can at 10mg a pouch. It is the one XQS fruit can that runs two berries at once, and the two were always going to get on.
Raspberry first, blackcurrant filling in
The raspberry gets there first, sharp and bright, and the blackcurrant fills in underneath with that darker, rounder sweetness you remember from a glass of cordial at your nan's. Neither one shouts over the other. Through the load they trade places a little, raspberry on top at the start and blackcurrant coming through more as the drip settles, which keeps the pouch interesting rather than one note. The finish is sweet with a tart edge, and it stays fruit all the way. Two berries, one tidy can. Proper.
10mg a pouch behind the double berry
Every pouch carries 10mg of nicotine, which puts it in our medium band, 8mg to 16mg. On the XQS shelf that is level with The Peppermint, Blueberry Mint and Citrus Cooling, all 10mg, a rung above the 8mg cans like Black Cherry and Berrynana Twist, and a rung below The Menthol at 11mg. Slim pouches, 20 to a can. Uptake is even and the curve builds without any rush, which suits a flavour this rounded.

Who the two berry can is for
Raspberry Blackcurrant is for the person who wants fruit with some weight to it and would rather have two berries than one. It suits a Black Cherry regular who fancies something a touch sharper, and anyone who likes the darker end of the fruit shelf. If you want to keep the berry and add some freshness, Blueberry Mint sits at the same 10mg with a cool finish, and Black Cherry is the 8mg can with the single dark fruit. Give it a go.
