The Menthol's big number
XQS The Menthol comes in two strengths, and this is the big one. XQS is Swedish and sits within Scandinavian Tobacco Group, with a 2005 start in Jämtland by the maker's account. The brand makes fruit cans in the low and middle numbers and three mint cans, The Spearmint, The Peppermint and this one, and The Menthol 17mg is the top of the whole XQS shelf. Same sharp, cold menthol as the 11mg can, with a strong number behind it. It is the one XQS can built for people who already know they want strong snus.
Frosty platform cold, pouch after pouch
The menthol is out of the can quick, a clean icy lift that lands across the gum like the first breath of air on a frosty platform waiting for the last train home. There is no sweetness to lean on, no fruit, no softening. It is sharp from the first second, the maker's notes say it stays sharp without tipping into harshness, and the cold holds steady through the load instead of fading. The drip is clean and the finish is as cold as the start. If you came for menthol, menthol is what you get. No messing about.
17mg a pouch, the top of the XQS shelf
Each pouch carries 17mg of nicotine, which puts it in our strong band, the one that runs from 16mg to 25mg, and makes it the strongest can XQS makes on our shelf by some distance. The next rung down is The Menthol at 11mg, then The Peppermint and the 10mg fruit cans, the 8mg fruit cans, and The Spearmint at 6mg at the bottom. Slim pouches, 20 to a can. The curve climbs properly here, which is what a strong snus user expects and exactly what this can is for.

Who reaches for The Menthol 17mg
This is a can for people who already use strong snus and want a menthol that keeps pace. It suits anyone who has been on The Menthol 11mg for a while and wants the next step without changing flavour, and anyone coming from a strong mint at another brand who wants it colder. If 17mg is more than you need today, The Menthol 11mg is the same cold with a medium number, and The Peppermint at 10mg is the crisp alternative. Give it a go.
