The yellow can with the palm tree, cherry first
Picture the can before the flavour: bright yellow, red rim, MAGGIE in red and orange with a green palm tree behind it and the words Original Jamaican Pouch underneath. That is a Maggie, and Cherry Tonic Wine is the one most people pick up first. This is the Lite line, which is what the lid says beside the name, and it is the 16mg half of the range. The whole brand is named after Caribbean drinks and food, and this can takes its name from tonic wine, the sweet dark bottle on the high shelf of every corner shop. It is a tobacco free pouch, white and slim, with cherry in front. No messing about.
Cherry up front, black grape behind it
The first thing you get is cherry, rich and sweet rather than sharp, the kind you find at the bottom of a cherry pie rather than the boiled sweet sort. A dark grape note comes in behind it and that is what gives it the tonic wine feel, deep and a bit warm, like the smell when someone opens a bottle at a family do. The two sit together for the whole load without either taking over. There is no mint in here and no sourness, so it finishes sweet and round, the same at the end as at the start. Proper flavour, properly held.
16mg a pouch on Maggie's lower rung
Every pouch carries 16mg of nicotine, which is the bottom edge of our strong band, the one that runs 16mg to 25mg. Maggie keeps things simple with a ladder of two rungs: Maggie Lite at 16mg, which is this can, and Maggie at 60mg, which sits in our extreme band. So in snus terms this is the gentler Maggie, but it is still a strong can by the shop's scale and the uptake is steady rather than slow. The pouches are slim and white, 20 to a can, and the lid keeps a slot for the used ones. Here's the thing. Strong enough to notice, calm enough to finish.

For the cherry crowd, and the step after it
This is the can for people who already use strong snus and want a flavour with some depth to it, not just fruit and sugar. If you like a dark cherry, or you grew up with the tonic wine bottle on the shelf, it will feel familiar straight away. It also suits anyone looking at Maggie for the first time, because 16mg is where the brand starts. When you are ready for the bigger number, Maggie Cherry Tonic Wine 60mg is the same flavour name at the top of the ladder. For something lighter and fizzier in the same line, Maggie Grape Soda 16mg is next to it on the shelf. Give it a go.
