Made by Sweden, my test of XQS nicopouches

In this new article from Tests de Mathieu, I introduce you to XQS's nicopouches in Slim format. I offer you my impressions of pouches in Strong strength, in four different flavors: Cactus Sour, Blueberry Mint, Black Cherry and Pipe Candy. Follow the guide.

XQS, one of the great names in nicopouches

XQS has quickly established itself as one of the top designers in the nicopouche* market. With their remarkable know-how, XQS flavourists stand out from the crowd with original flavours that will delight the most curious among us. But it's the attention to detail that really sets XQS apart: the impeccable quality of their pouches and cans make this brand one of the best-sellers on the market. Discover with me the qualities of XQS nicopouches. 

What Mathieu thought of nicopouches XQS

Packaging
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I find the design of cans XQS particularly successful. XQS has opted for gradations of color reminiscent of the flavors of nicotine. pouches nicotine flavours, with a beautiful iridescent effect. The essential information is included: the brand's stylized logo, taste, format (Slim) and strength. I also appreciate XQS's attention to detail: on the edges of cans, there are anecdotes about Sweden and nicopouches. Did you know, for example, that King Erik, after being forced into exile in 1439, became a pirate for ten years? Aaaargh! 

I also appreciate XQS's commitment to eco-responsibility: cans are recyclable, as indicated by a pictogram, a real plus in my opinion! Another anecdote tells us that Sweden is one of the countries that recycles the most in the world, and even imports waste for processing.

Of course, there's also the practical hermetic compartment for disposing of used pouches if you don't have a garbage can to hand.

The only drawback is that the cans are so well sealed that I had to use the blade of a knife to open them the first time. No worries on subsequent openings, though - phew! 

Flavours and aromas
⭐⭐⭐⭐

XQS has the merit of offering original flavors that differ from the taste worlds commonly found in nicopouches. Fruity, mentholated or gourmand, XQS goes off the beaten track and offers colorful flavors! What's more, the olfactory scents of all these nicopouches are mouth-watering, and I can't wait to try them!

Here are the flavors we tested today:

My favorites: Cactus Sour and Blueberry Mint, without hesitation! 

I was surprised by Cactus Sour, with its completely offbeat cactus sublimated by notes of lime. A fruity, subtly tangy finish that sparkles under the lip!

I also appreciate the particularly successful dosage of Blueberry Mint: the roundness of the blueberries blends perfectly with the slightly spicy freshness of the peppermint. A taste of homecoming that doesn't leave me indifferent. In fact, I prefer them to the Velo Berry Frost nicopouches I recently told you about.

Not being a great aficionado of caramel and cherry, I liked Pipe Candy and Black Cherry less. Just my personal taste! That doesn't stop me from recognizing XQS's expertise in dosing and flavour management. 

The caramel with its hints of lemon and the red berry-cherry blend are very successful, and perfectly identifiable under the lip. Nicopoucheurs who like these flavors will be won over!

The good news is that the aromas linger over time. Simply impressive!

Feeling under the lip
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Visually, the pouches XQS are all immaculately white, with the exception of Pipe Candy, which is slightly tinted due to the presence of caramel aromas. Nothing unusual, then.

It's under the lip that I feel all the work and expertise of XQS. Particularly soft to the touch, the nicopouches are very pleasant once placed under the lip. There's no impression of granularity that could get in the way when tasting, which is much appreciated. XQS is fully committed to delivering top-quality products.

These are pouches in Slim format, the most common on the market. Slightly larger than the Mini format, they are nonetheless very discreet under the lip and barely noticeable. With the mandatory wearing of masks in public places, they are even logically invisible.

Efficiency and discretion
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm happy with the XQS nicopouches. As they are pouches Standard type (i.e., slightly moist to allow instant diffusion of nicotine and flavors, unlike Dry type), the desire to vapourize or smoke disappears very quickly as the nicotine is absorbed. pouches Dry), the desire to vape or smoke disappears very quickly as the nicotine is absorbed.

They also last a long time: I was able to use these for around pouches for around 40 minutes before the aromas evaporated completely and I felt that the nicotine was no longer being released. So XQS nicopouches have a very average shelf life compared with other brands, which is a very good point!

Conclusion
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's a home run for XQS nicopouches! Attention to detail, precise nicotine dosing and aromatic creativity make XQS one of the most prominent nicotine pouches and rightly so! It's easy to imagine the amount of work that went into designing these nicopouches, and the result is just as good! Congratulations XQS!

Special mention must go to the Blueberry Mint and Cactus Sour nicopouches, which easily top the podium of my favourite nicopouches! As a convinced nicopoucheur, whenever I feel like vaping or smoking, I don't hesitate to slip a pouch under my lip!
