The XPCT guide

XPCT: one very large can, two flavours

Most snus arrives in a can that fits a pocket. XPCT went the other way. The brand's whole idea is the Mega Can, one large can holding 200g of slim, all white, tobacco free pouches, developed in Hökerum, Sweden. The maker puts a single Mega Can at roughly 15 regular cans. So this is a brand to choose when you already know what you like and want plenty of it.

Two flavours are on our shelf. Mega Can Berry is 8.4mg a pouch and Mega Can Mint is 10.4mg a pouch, and both sit in the medium band on our strength scale. This page takes each can in turn, then covers the maker, the strength, the format and how to pick between them. With two cans it's a short decision, and that's part of the appeal.

The flavour is mixed berry, sweet and tart together, in a slim, all white, tobacco free pouch. The can is the large format, with 200g of pouches inside. It suits you if a medium can is already your usual and fruit is the flavour you reach for.

Mega Can Mint10.4mgMediumMega Can Mint is 10.4mg a pouch, in the medium band on our strength scale and a little above the Berry. The flavour is peppermint, fresh and clean, with no fruit alongside it. The pouches are slim, all white and tobacco free, and the can holds 200g of them. It suits you if you use medium strength snus regularly and mint is the flavour you always return to.

Medium · 8.4mg a pouch

Mega Can Berry: sweet and tart at 8.4mg

Start here if fruit is your flavour. Mega Can Berry is 8.4mg a pouch, which places it just inside the medium band, a short step above the 8mg mark where medium begins. The flavour is a mixed berry, sweet and tart at once. The maker describes it as a blend of sweetness and tartness from Swedish berries and names no single fruit, so picture a berry mix. There's no mint in it. This is a straight fruit can.

The pouch is slim and all white, and the can holds 200g of them. On the maker's current lid Berry is numbered 02 and the lid is red, which makes it easy to tell from the mint can at a glance. If a medium can is already your usual and you like your fruit with a tart edge, this is the XPCT to choose.

Medium · 10.4mg a pouch

Mega Can Mint: clean peppermint at 10.4mg

Mega Can Mint is the stronger of the two, at 10.4mg a pouch. That's still the medium band on our scale, which runs from 8mg up to 16mg, so the two cans are close neighbours. The mint here is peppermint. The maker calls it a fresh and clean peppermint taste, and that's the right way to picture it. Cool, simple and direct, with no fruit alongside.

Side by side with the Berry, the format is identical, with slim, all white pouches and 200g to the can. The maker's current lid numbers Mint 01 and colours it blue. If you only try one XPCT and mint is what you normally buy, make it this one.

Who makes XPCT

XPCT is made by LIW Innovation AB, a Swedish company registered in Hökerum. The maker's own wording is that the pouches were developed in Hökerum, Sweden. Its lid carries two lines, THE ORIGINAL MEGA CAN and EXPECT MORE, quoted here as printed. The maker's current range is six flavours, each one a Mega Can. Two of them are on our shelf, Berry and Mint.

Where the two cans sit on our scale

Our strength scale has four bands. Light is under 8mg a pouch, medium is 8mg up to 16mg, strong is 16mg up to 25mg, and extreme is 25mg and over. Both XPCT cans are medium. Berry at 8.4mg is at the very start of the band, and Mint at 10.4mg sits 2mg higher, still in its lower half. So the choice between them is mostly flavour, with a small step in strength if you want it. If a medium can is already your usual, both are in your band.

The Mega Can format

Every XPCT pouch here is slim, all white and tobacco free. What sets the brand apart is the can. A Mega Can holds 200g of pouches, and the maker puts that at roughly 15 regular cans. The weight is the figure to go by. For a pouch count, check the can you receive. A regular sized refill can comes with it, so you can fill that and carry it while the big can stays at home. One practical note. The maker suggests adding a little water if you prefer a moister pouch.

How to choose between them

With two cans the choice is simple. If you'd usually pick a fruit flavour, go for Mega Can Berry, sweet and tart at 8.4mg. If mint is your habit, Mega Can Mint is clean peppermint at 10.4mg. A Mega Can is a lot of one flavour, so choose the kind you already buy again and again. If you only try one, let your usual flavour decide.
