XQS Cactus Sour Strong
Founded in Jämtland in northern Sweden and now part of Scandinavian Tobacco Group, XQS is a tobacco-free pouch brand with real breadth: more than fifteen flavours across mint, citrus, apple, berry and tropical profiles. The 24Nico range covers slim and mini formats across Normal, Strong and Xstrong, shipping across 20+ European countries with EUR prices, VAT included and no customs charges within the EU.
XQS — pronounced "excuse" — was founded in Jämtland in northern Sweden in 2005 by two snus enthusiasts who wanted a tobacco-free alternative to traditional snus. The first XQS pouches contained neither tobacco nor nicotine; the nicotine-pouch range the brand is known for today followed in the 2010s, and XQS has since become one of the larger Swedish nicotine-pouch brands. It now sits within Scandinavian Tobacco Group, with XQS International AB as the operating entity.
The XQS range at 24Nico spans four strength tiers: Normal at 4 mg of nicotine per pouch, Strong at 8 mg, and two Xstrong variants at 9.6 mg and 11.2 mg per pouch. Some of the latter are labelled "Ultra Strong" by XQS itself — at 24Nico we classify by mg per pouch rather than brand label, so they sit in Xstrong.
The full catalogue is in the slim format.
XQS leans on flavour breadth rather than format variety.
XQS is a flavour-led brand within the Swedish nicotine-pouch category and, per its own corporate site, the second-largest pouch brand in the Swedish home market. It runs as its own brand line within Scandinavian Tobacco Group, alongside several other established nicotine and tobacco names at group level.
XQS pouches are tobacco-free, based on plant fibre with added nicotine and flavourings, and designed to sit under the upper lip during use.

A note on strength labelling: some XQS variants carry brand names such as "Ultra Strong" (for example XQS Arctic Freeze Ultra Strong, 11.2 mg). On the Low / Normal / Strong / Xstrong / Ultra scale used across 24Nico, 11.2 mg per pouch sits in Xstrong — Ultra begins at 13.1 mg per pouch. The strength filter on 24Nico uses this editorial scale, so XQS variants compare like-for-like with the rest of the range.
XQS is part of Scandinavian Tobacco Group, according to XQS's own corporate site. The XQS line is run as its own brand within the group.
