A can of XQS Black Cherry 8mg

Straight up, XQS's cherry can

Straight up, the question at the counter is usually which XQS fruit can to start with, and Black Cherry is the easy answer. XQS started in Sweden, in Jämtland in 2005 by the maker's own account, and today the brand belongs to Scandinavian Tobacco Group. There are no named editions to sort through here, just one lineup where each can is a flavor and a number. This one is cherry, 8mg a pouch. Dark fruit, real sweetness, and nothing else riding along on top.

Dark cherry, diner syrup style

Real quick, picture the cherry syrup at a diner soda fountain, the dark kind, not the bright red kind. That is where Black Cherry opens. It comes in rich and sweet, and a small tart edge underneath keeps it honest. The sweetness leads for the first half of the pouch, then the tart note steps forward and the back half runs a little sharper. It never changes into a different flavor. Cherry when you put it in, cherry when you take it out.

8mg of nicotine behind the cherry

The number is 8mg a pouch. On our scale that lands at the low end of medium, which covers 8mg up to 16mg, so there is more to it than a light can without any real kick. Berrynana Twist, Fizzy Peach and Tropical carry the same 8mg in the XQS lineup. One step down is The Spearmint at 6mg; one step up are the 10mg cans, Blueberry Mint and Citrus Cooling among them, and The Menthol tops the mint cans at 11mg, with a 17mg version above that. The can holds 20 slim white pouches, 0.5g each by the maker's spec sheet. Bottom line, it is a relaxed number behind a big flavor.

The Black Cherry crowd, and the next can over

Black Cherry is for anyone who wants a fruit pouch with some depth, the kind of person who orders the dark roast. It also makes a solid way into XQS if you want to try the brand's fruit side before the mints. Like it and want more berry? Raspberry Blackcurrant is one can over at 10mg. Want the same 8mg with a different fruit? Berrynana Twist brings strawberry and banana. You're set.
