XQS Citrus Cooling (Nicotine Pouches) - Review. 11 December 2025.

I've had a lot of requests for this one over the past year.  It seems to have quite a following online.  I've reviewed a lot of XQS products, but this is one that hasn't crossed my desk yet.  I recently did a SwedishProducts.online order and grabbed some of this from there.  The flavor description for this one says "A taste of citrus with a hint of cooling sensation".  Each can weighs 10 grams and has 20 pouches in it, for 0.5 grams each.  The nicotine strength is 16mg/g in total, but with the lighter weight pouches it's actually just 8mg/pouch, or regular strength.  Now, let's open up the can, throw one in, and see how they taste!

In the aroma, this one has a present, tart, sour aroma of lemon to it.  There is a faint touch of sweetness to it, but it's very mild.  The pouches are lighter in weight at 0.5g each, but they have a comfortable mouthfeel to them and a nice moisture amount.  As the name promises, it does deliver a cooling presence in the lip, and in the flavor.  I suspect it's from a cooling agent, as the aroma and flavor isn't minty at all.  The flavor is actually quite good.  The lemon taste is front and center.  It's very lightly sweet, but is mostly tart.  It's a great taste of lemon.  In the strength, this one sits at 8mg/pouch, and feels to deliver right at the regular level.  The flavor itself lasts a solid 40-45 minutes, on average.

Rating and Final Thoughts

I'm glad this one was recommended to me, because I found myself pretty impressed with it.  It has a nice flavor, and is a pretty enjoyable pouch.  I rated it at 3.54/5.  As I've often suggested, however, I think XQS should increase their pouch weight.  0.5g is honestly quite light, and I think if they pushed to at least 0.7g, it would make them much more impressive to me.  But, other than that, it's a pretty tasty pouch.
