The big Cold Dry
Greatest built its name on one flavour, a cold, fresh mint it calls Cold Dry, and this is the XL version of it. The maker lists the can as Cold Dry Intense XL, and the XL is the point: the pouch is a larger format than the brand's slim cans, which the maker describes as Regular / XL. 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 16mg, which puts it in the strong band on our scale, and there are 20 to a can. Side by side with the rest of the Cold Dry line, this is the fullest expression of it. Start here if you already know the flavour and want more of it.
What it tastes like
Cold Dry is a cold, fresh mint, and the XL carries exactly that. There's no fruit in it and no noticeable sweetness, just a crisp, cool mint that holds its line from the first pouch to the last. It opens cold, stays cold and finishes clean. The maker names no particular type of mint, and the flavour doesn't ask for one; it's mint, kept cold, and it does that well. The larger pouch gives the flavour more room, but the character is the same one that runs through every Greatest can. The one people come back for, in a bigger format.
How strong it is
Every pouch carries 16mg of nicotine, which places Cold Dry XL in the strong band on our scale, the one that runs from 16mg to 25mg. It sits at the entry to that band, so it's a clear step up from the medium cans without reaching the top of the shelf. The format is the larger Regular / XL pouch rather than slim, and a can holds 20 of them. The pouches are tobacco free. For regular snus users who are ready for more than medium, this is a sensible next rung. Cold mint, strong band, bigger pouch.

Who it is for
Cold Dry XL suits regular snus users who like a cold mint and want it in the strong band, with a larger pouch to match. It's the natural step up for anyone who has used the lighter Cold Dry cans and is ready for more, and it suits people who prefer a fuller pouch format in general.
If 16mg is more than you're after, Cold Dry 8mg gives you the same mint at the start of the medium band, and Rage Lemonade is the brand's citrus can at 10mg. If you only try one strong Greatest, make it this one.
