Sweet Plantain, the warm one on the Maggie shelf
Most snus flavours are fruit or mint. Sweet Plantain is neither, which is why people stop at it. It comes from the Maggie Lite line, the 16mg half of the brand, and the lid carries the green Lite tab beside the name. The can is Maggie through and through: yellow, red rim, green palm tree, Original Jamaican Pouch under the brand name. Maggie names every flavour after a Caribbean drink or dish, and this is the plate of fried ripe plantain that goes with everything. Tobacco free, slim, white pouches. No messing about.
Ripe plantain, caramelised and banana sweet
Sweet ripe plantain tastes a lot like banana, only warmer and deeper, the way the edges go when it is fried until they darken. That caramelised note is the heart of this pouch: soft, mellow and sweet, with none of the sharpness fruit flavours usually bring. It is the pudding end of the Maggie shelf, closer to a banana loaf than a fruit salad. The sweetness stays level across the load and there is no mint behind it. It finishes warm and gentle, the same from the first pouch to the twentieth. Proper.
16mg under the plantain
The shop lists Sweet Plantain at 16mg a pouch, the first number in our strong band, which runs 16mg to 25mg. Maggie's ladder is two rungs: Maggie Lite at 16mg, this can, and Maggie at 60mg, which sits in our extreme band. So this is the lower Maggie and still a strong can on the shop scale, with a steady uptake under all that softness. Slim, white pouches, 20 to a can, and a lid with a compartment for the used ones. Here's the thing. Mellow flavour, serious number.

Who wants the plantain can, and what comes after
This is the can for strong snus users who are tired of choosing between fruit and mint and fancy something warm and sweet instead. If banana loaf or a plate of fried plantain sounds like a flavour you would pick, it will suit you from the first pouch. It is also a good first Maggie for anyone who wants the brand at the smaller number. For the same plantain with the top rung number, Maggie Sweet Plantain 60mg is the next step. For a sweet flavour that is not fruit either, Maggie Jamaican Kola 16mg is the cola can beside it. Give it a go.
