NOTE: This product has been discontinued and is no longer for sale.
When V2 Tobacco launched their "Ultra Strong" series back in 2012, it was one of the strongest snus products on the market. However, when GN Tobacco launched their
Siberia -80 Degrees snus, it was replaced for highest nicotine strength available. Siberia White Dry comes in at 42mg/g of nicotine and this product is 21mg/g of nicotine. When it comes to Thunder Frosted Ultra Strong Frosted White, these cans are very bold and stand out from the regular black Thunder cans. As they should, as this snus is much stronger than regular Thunder Extra Strong Snus.
The aroma is a very subdued and mellow mint, not as present as the Cool Mint. The nicotine kick with this one is almost immediate, again, not something I'm used to in a White Portion, and this being an Ultra Strong Thunder, it kicks you in the teeth and doesn't buy you dinner. This stuff is strong. The flavor takes a bit to develop, but about 15 minutes in you'll start to experience the really crisp spearmint taste that is common to the Thunder Frosted brand. There is little to no drip to speak of, and I've been able to keep this one in up to an hour to an hour and a half. I reviewed the Frosted Ultra Strong a while back and noticed a slight chocolatey hint with it, which I also notice with this one. Again, it may just be the tobacco type used, I don't think they added chocolate to this one. The flavor is very durable, and if you like mint and want a REALLY strong snus in a white portion, this would definitely be one to look into.
Chad, just wanted to pass this on, no direct relation to your most recent post but relevant to the snus community. I had not seen this specific article until today.:
