A can of Garant Extreme Cherry 25mg

The Garant cherry, from Lithuania at 25mg

Ask about Garant at the counter and the cherry can is usually the one that gets pointed at first. Garant is a tobacco free snus made by UAB Kordula, a Lithuanian company, and on our shelf the brand does one thing: every can carries 25mg a pouch, and the flavour is the only thing that changes between them. Extreme is simply what the line is called, not a grade, and this is the cherry can in it. No ladder to climb, no lighter version to work up from. One number, fourteen flavours, and this is the red fruit one. Here's the thing. It is a sweet cherry snus with a big number behind it, and it does not pretend to be anything else.

Sweet cherry, the glace kind, right through the load

Pop one in and it is cherry from the off, the sweet sort rather than the sharp sort. Picture the cherries on top of a Bakewell at the bakery counter, dark and syrupy, with a slight tartness underneath that keeps the sweetness honest. It settles in over the first pouch or two and stays put from there, so the last pouch in the can tastes like the first. There is no mint in here and no ice, nothing cooling over the top, just the fruit on its own. The finish is clean and sweet. Proper cherry, no messing about.

25mg a pouch, and a Garant ladder with one rung

Every pouch carries 25mg of nicotine, which puts it in our extreme band, the one that starts at 25mg and goes up, so this cherry sits right on the line where strong becomes extreme. Garant keeps the strength side simple: there is no Silver, no Gold, no light edition to begin on. Every Garant can on our shelf is 25mg, from the plain Extreme to Raspberry, Grape and Ice Peach, so moving between them changes the flavour and nothing else. The pouches are slim, 27 to a can. Top of the scale snus for people who already know the number they want.

Who keeps the Garant cherry in their coat pocket

This is a can for the regular who has settled at the top of the scale and wants fruit rather than mint. If you are already on a 25mg from another brand and fancy a cherry that takes the number seriously, this is the one to reach for. There is no next step up inside Garant, because the whole shelf is 25mg, so the move from here is sideways: Garant Extreme Raspberry swaps the cherry for a sharper berry, and Garant Extreme Pineapple is the sunny tropical can if you want a change of scenery. Fair play to it, the cherry holds its own next to either. Give it a go.
