XQS Mint
Dive into the crisp and invigorating worlXQS mint nicotine pouches are tobacco-free, slim-format pouches spanning spearmint, peppermint, menthol, and mint fusion profiles. Once primarily a fruit-forward brand, XQS has significantly expanded its mint range and now offers one of the broader mint selections in the category.
What is XQS Mint Snus?
XQS mint pouches are completely tobacco-free and made in a slim, discreet format designed for under-lip use. The mint range has grown considerably, now spanning spearmint, peppermint, menthol, and mint fusion options across multiple nicotine strengths — from Normal through to Ultra Strong. Whether you are drawn to a classic spearmint profile or a cooling peppermint and menthol combination, the XQS mint range covers a broad spectrum of mint flavours.
Mint currently accounts for 78% of total snus category sales in the UK — and XQS's expanded mint range reflects both that trend and the brand's own evolution from a primarily fruit-focused catalogue into an assortment with wider variety.
Peppermint & Menthol
For those who prefer a cooling mint flavour, the Peppermint & Menthol category is the most popular option from the XQS mint range. Products like Ice Cool, Arctic Freeze, Crisp Ice, and the newly launched XQS The Peppermint and XQS The Menthol deliver a cooling character through peppermint and menthol flavour compounds. XQS The Menthol is available in two strengths — 11mg and 17mg — catering to both Extra Strong and Ultra Strong users.
Spearmint
If you prefer a sweeter, smoother mint flavour profile, the Spearmint category offers a different character to peppermint-led flavour options. The newly launched XQS Spearmint (6mg) sits in this category. The Spearmint is the one of the lowest-strength mint options in the XQS range, making it a practical entry point for users newer to mint pouches or to XQS as a brand. Spearmint profiles deliver a more rounded and slightly sweeter mint experience compared to the cooling edge of peppermint and menthol variants.
Mint Fusion
For something distinct from a classic mint profile, XQS's Mint Fusion options blend mint with fruit or other flavour notes. XQS Blueberry Mint is the standout in this category — combining a berry character with a mint finish for a profile that sits between the fruit and mint ranges. It is a popular option with pouch users who find pure mint profiles too dominant, or who want to explore XQS mint without committing to a cooling or peppermint-forward product.
Peppermint vs. Spearmint: What's the Difference?
The key difference comes down to menthol content. Peppermint variants carry a higher menthol level, producing a crisper mint chill. Spearmint, with lower menthol, is smoother and has a sweeter character. Within the XQS mint range, this distinction is clear: XQS The Peppermint and XQS Arctic Freeze sit at the cooling end; XQS The Spearmint and XQS Spearmint offer a more restrained mint experience.
