XQS Tropical 8mg is a sweet mix of tropical fruits with no single fruit in charge, at 8mg a pouch. It sits at the start of the medium band on our scale, in a slim pouch with 20 to the can. One for snus users who like the mixed fruit option and an easy daily strength.

The fruit bowl, all at once
Tropical is XQS's answer to the question of which fruit, which is all of them. It's a mix of tropical fruits in one slim pouch, from a Swedish brand that's part of Scandinavian Tobacco Group and that the maker dates to 2005 in Jämtland. On our shelf it comes at 8mg a pouch with 20 pouches in the can. Among the XQS fruit cans it's the one that doesn't pick a single fruit and name it, which makes it the holiday option next to Fizzy Peach and Strawberry Kiwi. If choosing one fruit feels like a chore, this is the shortcut.
What it tastes like
Tastes like a tropical juice carton, the sweet mixed one where no single fruit gets top billing. It's bright and sweet from the start, with the kind of sunshine flavour that belongs on a beach towel rather than a desk. No one fruit runs the show, which is the whole point. There's no mint on the can and nothing cooling in the mix, so it's fruit from the first pouch to the last. Easy going and sweet from start to finish.
How strong it is
Every pouch carries 8mg of nicotine. On our scale that's the first rung of the medium band, which runs from 8mg to 16mg, so it's a strength you can keep up through the day without it ever feeling like a big one. The maker's own range runs from 4mg at the bottom to 17mg at the top, and Tropical is listed at 4mg on the maker's site as well, so the 8mg here is the step up from that. The pouches are slim and tobacco free, and every XQS can holds 20 of them. The lid shows the XQS logo, the flavour name, a row of six bars and the mg figure, and the rim says the empty can is recyclable. In snus terms, a friendly strength with a holiday flavour.

Who it is for
Tropical suits anyone who uses snus regularly and likes a fruit flavour that doesn't make them choose. At 8mg it's a comfortable everyday can, a good match for people who go for the mixed fruit option every time. It's also a sound pick for anyone who got on well with Fizzy Peach and wants a wider fruit spread at the same strength. If you'd rather have named fruits, Strawberry Kiwi is the next can along at 10mg.
Keep the can at room temperature with the lid tightly closed. No fridge needed. XQS also makes three mint cans, The Spearmint, The Peppermint and The Menthol, if you ever want a change from fruit. For the full fruit bowl at 8mg, this is the one.
