Thunder Nicotine Pouches - Preview. 24 September 2020.

 

File this one under "How did this take so long?", as today, V2 Tobacco in Denmark, subsidiary of Swedish Match, has launched nicotine pouches.  With the market for these growing nonstop over the past few years, I am surprised it took V2 this long to get into this category.  But, it looks like they're all in now, with 5 products launched under the Thunder brand.  I noticed all of these for sale this morning on Snuffstore.de, a German webstore that has a wide selection of products like this.  So, without further ado, let's check these products out!

All these photos came from the Snuffstore product page for Thunder Nicotine Pouches, so photo credit to them.

Snuffstore.de did raise an interesting point on their recent Instagram post, however.  A lot of these flavors seem oddly reminiscent of Zyn products.  The only one that doesn't seem to have a Zyn counterpart is the Frosted version.  So, I will definitely have to compare once I get ahold of these.  They could be just relabeled Zyn for the German market, I'm not sure.  I'm hoping the Thunder Cool Mint nicotine pouch tastes like my favorite mint snus of all time, Thunder Cool Mint, but we will see!  Once I get ahold of these, I'll post reviews.  Stay tuned!
