A can of Maggie Sweet Plantain 60mg

Sweet Plantain, the warm one on Maggie's 60 shelf

Every Maggie flavour is named after something from a Caribbean kitchen or bar, and Sweet Plantain is the one from the frying pan rather than the fridge. This is the 60 line version, where the lid reads Maggie without the Lite tag, and it is the biggest number the brand makes. The Lite line at 16mg carries the same seven flavours. The can is the Maggie yellow with a red rim, a green palm tree over the name and Original Jamaican Pouch underneath. Here's the thing. Most fruit cans go for berries or grape. This one goes for the fried banana's older cousin, and it does it sweet.

Caramelised plantain, banana sweet, warm to the end

Pop one in and it is ripe plantain straight away, that warm banana sweetness with the caramelised edge you get when the slices have browned in the pan. It is rounder and richer than a fresh banana, more pudding than fruit bowl, with a soft caramel note sitting over the top. There is no mint, no cooling and no sharpness, so the sweetness has the whole load to itself. It holds warm and mellow right through and finishes sweet. Proper banana fritter, without the plate. Fair play to it.

60mg a pouch under the plantain, the top of two rungs

Every can in the Maggie 60 line is listed at 60mg of nicotine a pouch, Sweet Plantain included. On our scale that is the extreme band, 25mg and up, the highest of the four. Maggie's ladder is two rungs with a long stretch between them: Maggie Lite at 16mg on the bottom, Maggie at 60mg on the top, and nothing in between. In snus terms that is the far end of the scale, so it suits people who already live there and want a dessert flavour to go with it. The pouches are slim and white, 20 to a can, tobacco free, and there is a slot under the lid for the used ones. No messing about.

Who comes back for the plantain, and the cans beside it

This is the can for anyone who picks the pudding over the fruit bowl and wants the biggest number on the Maggie shelf under it. If you have been on Maggie Sweet Plantain 16mg from the Lite line and want the same warm banana with the full Maggie number, this is it, 60 on the lid. Fancy something from the drinks side of the menu at the same strength? Maggie Jamaican Kola 60mg is the sweet cola, and Maggie Grape Soda 60mg is the purple pop, both on the same rung. Give it a go.
