The strongest XQS can on the shelf
Real quick, The Menthol 17mg is the biggest number XQS puts on our shelf, and the question at the counter is usually whether it is as cold as the 11mg. It is. XQS is a Swedish brand that Scandinavian Tobacco Group bought in 2023, one the maker traces back to 2005 in Jämtland. XQS runs fruit cans at the lower numbers plus three mint cans, The Menthol, The Peppermint and The Spearmint, and this 17mg Menthol is the top rung of the whole lineup. Same menthol as the 11mg, bigger number, built for people already on strong pouches.

Parking lot in January, in a pouch
Picture stepping out of a hot car into a parking lot in January, the air so cold it has an edge. That is the first second of this pouch. The menthol lands fast and clean, spreads across the gum, and settles into a steady deep cold that holds for the whole pouch. There is no sugar and no fruit to soften it. The maker says it stays sharp without turning harsh, and that holds here too. It ends every bit as cold as it began. Menthol, all the way down.

17mg, and nothing at XQS above it
The number is 17mg a pouch. Our scale calls that strong, the band from 16mg to 25mg, and nothing else from XQS on our shelf comes close. One step down is the 11mg Menthol, then The Peppermint alongside the 10mg fruit cans, then the 8mg fruit cans, with The Spearmint at 6mg at the floor. The can holds 20 slim pouches. Bottom line, this is the XQS can for people already on strong pouches who want the cold to match.

Who The Menthol 17mg is for, and the step below
The Menthol 17mg fits anyone who already uses strong pouches and wants a menthol at that level. Been on The Menthol 11mg a while and ready for the next step? Same flavor, bigger number, no adjustment to make. Switching over from a strong mint at a different brand? This one runs colder. If 17mg feels like more than you want today, the 11mg Menthol gives you the same cold at a medium number, while The Peppermint at 10mg covers the crisp side. You're set.
