The XQS can for cold, not sweet
Straight up, The Menthol is the XQS can people ask for when they want cold, not sweet. XQS is out of Sweden, part of Scandinavian Tobacco Group today, with roots the maker puts at 2005 in Jämtland. Next to its fruit cans XQS makes three mint cans, The Menthol, The Peppermint and The Spearmint, and The Menthol is the sharpest of the three. Five bars out of six on the lid, 11 MG printed beside them, so the can tells you what it is at the counter.
Truck stop door in January
Picture the first breath of air walking out of a warm truck stop into a January morning. That is the opening. The menthol lands quick with a clean icy lift, spreads along the gum, and settles into a steady cold that stays put for the whole pouch. There is no sugar on top and no fruit underneath. The maker says it stays sharp without turning harsh, and that holds up. What you get in the first moment is what you get at the end. Cold, clean, done.
11mg a pouch, five bars of six
The number is 11mg a pouch. Our scale calls that medium, the band from 8mg to 16mg, and only the 17mg version of this same can goes higher on the XQS shelf. Under it sit The Peppermint and the 10mg fruit cans, then the 8mg fruit cans, then The Spearmint at 6mg. Twenty slim pouches in the can, and the three mint cans run a heavier pouch than the fruit cans, 0.75g by the maker's figures. Bottom line, this is the cold one, and the number keeps up with the flavor.

Who grabs The Menthol, and where to go next
The Menthol fits anyone who wants menthol rather than mint and has been looking for it at a sensible number. Coming off a sharp 10mg mint and want a little more? This is the next step. Want more behind the same cold? The Menthol 17mg is right beside it on the shelf. Want it a notch softer? The Peppermint at 10mg does crisp without the deep freeze. You're set.
