Blueberry with a cool edge, the XQS way
Blueberry Mint is the can people pick up when they cannot decide between a fruit snus and a mint one, and XQS has made it so they do not have to. XQS is Swedish, Scandinavian Tobacco Group owns the brand, and the maker dates it to 2005 in Jämtland. The brand keeps a single range rather than a run of named editions, so each can is a flavour and a number. This one is blueberry with a cool mint behind it, 10mg a pouch, and it is the fruit can on the XQS shelf with a bit of freshness built in.
Fruit on the tongue, mint round the gum
Blueberry comes first, soft and naturally sweet, like the fruit on top of a Sunday morning bowl of porridge rather than a jam. The mint arrives a beat later, cool and clean, and it lifts the fruit rather than taking over. Through the middle of the load the two share the pouch fairly evenly, blueberry on the tongue and mint around the gum. As the drip settles the mint stays a little longer than the fruit, so the finish is fresh rather than sweet. Blueberry up front, mint to see it out. Proper tidy.
10mg a pouch, level with the XQS middle
Every pouch carries 10mg of nicotine, which sits in our medium band, the one that runs from 8mg to 16mg. On the XQS shelf that puts it a step above the 8mg fruit cans, Black Cherry and Berrynana Twist among them, and level with The Peppermint, Citrus Cooling and Raspberry Blackcurrant, all at 10mg. The Menthol at 11mg is the next rung up. The pouches are slim and the can holds 20. Uptake is unhurried and the curve builds evenly, which is what makes it an easy medium snus to settle into.

For people who want fruit and freshness in one can
This is the can for the person who wants fruit but likes the clean feeling a mint leaves. It suits a blueberry regular from another brand who fancies a change, and anyone moving up from the 8mg XQS fruit cans who wants the next number without a wholly new flavour. If the mint side wins you over, The Peppermint at the same 10mg is the next can along, and Citrus Cooling keeps the fresh edge with lemon instead of blueberry. Give it a go.
