The Greatest signature, at 8mg

Some brands have a dozen flavours and no idea which one they are. Greatest has the opposite problem, in the best way. Cold Dry is the flavour the whole brand is built around, a cold, fresh mint that the maker calls the heart of Greatest, and this is the 8mg version of it. Greatest is a Nordic brand from Finland, made by Premium Pouch Finland Oy, a Helsinki company, and the pouches are tobacco free. Each pouch carries 8mg, which puts it right at the start of the medium band on our scale, and there are 20 to a can. Think of this as the brand's signature mint at its gentlest everyday setting. Simple idea, done properly.

What it tastes like

Tastes like stepping outside on a frosty morning and taking a deep breath, which is a compliment. Cold Dry is mint first, mint last and mint in the middle, clean and cool the whole way through. There's no fruit and no sweetness to speak of, just a crisp, chilly freshness that stays level from the first pouch to the last. It's the kind of mint that wakes you up rather than warms you through. If you've tried any other Greatest can, you'll know this flavour already, because it's the same one. Here it just comes at a friendlier strength.

How strong it is

Each pouch carries 8mg of nicotine, which is where the medium band on our scale begins, running from 8mg up to 16mg. So Cold Dry 8mg sits on the gentler edge of medium, a step up from the lightest cans and comfortable for anyone who uses snus through the day. The maker's Cold Dry line starts with a 4mg can and climbs from there, and this is the next rung up. The pouches are tobacco free and every standard Greatest can holds 20 of them. Cold mint, measured strength. A tidy place to sit.

Who it is for

Cold Dry 8mg suits anyone who likes a clean, cold mint and wants it at a strength they can use all day without thinking about it. It's a good first Greatest can, since it introduces the flavour the brand is known for at the gentlest everyday level. It also suits snus users who like mint but prefer to stay near the lower end of medium.

Want the same mint with more behind it? Cold Dry XL is the bigger pouch at 16mg, and the Cold Dry Mega Can gives you this 8mg flavour in a 200 pouch can. For a cold mint at an easy strength, though, this is the one. Start here.
