    I really like it. It seems like the longer I have the portion in the more the flavor develops and the more I like it. I have been going to the gym a lot lately and stopped drinking soda so it's nice to be able to get that taste in a snus. I just wish I would have ordered a roll. The Nic feels on par with Thunder WG still strong but even though they all have 16 MG Frosted just seems to be stronger to me? As far as a cola flavor. It's perfect.

      I ordered a roll of this counting on my love of everything V2. I was not let down. I will have to agree with the bottle caps comparison. I can take this snus with me for all-day use without the taste getting old.

      One thing I have found is that it goes great with dark beer. The combination reminds me of a drink I had many years ago from Germany that mixes black beer & cola.

        As I stated earlier, the Coola has so far really disappointed me
        but being a stubborn NE Yankee I hate to give up so easily. I
        also don't like the idea of wasting what so many others are
        calling a great snus.


        I don't have access to the black beer/cola drink you mentioned
        but I just remembered I still have some Hawaiian Pipeline Porter
        that might just do the trick; definitely a non-scientific experiment,
        don'tcha know!

        Pipeline Porter is smooth and dark with a distinctive roasty aroma and earthy complexity from its diverse blends of premium malted barley. This celebration of malt unites with freshly roasted 100% Kona coffee grown at Cornwell Estate on Hawaii’s Big Island, lending a unique roasted aroma and flavor. A delicate blend of hops rounds out this palate-pleasing brew.

        Pipeline Porter is perfectly paired with hearty soups and stews, roast beef sandwiches, pot roast and mashed potatoes. It's also a perfect beer on its own, drink it to take the chill off a windy, cold day!

        Available from September to March
        It's definitely a windy, cold day, perfect for a hearty soup and maybe
        even a roast beef sandwich ...... along with a Pipeline ...... followed
        by more Pipeline and a Thunder Coola snus.

        That's my plan now for dinner (actually in NE that would be supper)
        later on. Now I've got something to look forward to (while I continue
        to try to get a life)!

          Sounds like a great evening to me! I'll have to track down some of that pipeline porter when I move to NY in a week.

            The second I open the can, it always upts a huge grin on my face It reminds me SO much of the Japanese Cola chewy candy I used to get in Japanese class in high school. I love it V2! Seriously. It could use more of a cooling sensation, but thats okay! The flavor is just too great. This snus is the best when frigid cold. I dont store in the freezer, but before i pop it in my mouth, I make sure it sits in the freezer for a good 15-30 minutes. I cant wait for the Offroad version!!!!

              just have to see if time changes my perception of what I had
              hoped to be a favorite daily snus.

              Same here... I know I'm in the minority and many like Thunder Coola, But I thought it was nasty, I expected more of a straight cola taste, Instead I got a mint cola flavor out of it and could not stand it... I guess the name coola says it and was not expecting a cooling mint cola.... Yuck! I was very bummed as i had also thought that this would have become a new favorite and all it did was disappoint... Guess it goes without saying that Tastes differ.... Alot

                Eww. Mint cola? I've got some Coola coming in a trade and now I'm afraid I may hate it.

                    I've had Coola for a month now and it's been in my everyday rotation and I really like it nice Cola flavor that lasts a long time and has a great nic kick .

                    I think anyone who tastes mint in there has issues with taste period because it surely has no mint flavoring to speak of

                            I have to agree. Anyone who tastes mint in Coola has some seriously jacked-up taste buds. I bought a roll the day it hit shops and have had this in my daily rotation ever since. I just hope the sustained run of this product hits stores before I run out!

                            Jag, no need for creative editing. I think we got your point... You have retarded taste buds

                              Yeah! Your right... No need... Ok! Let's just say there is no mint or cooling flavor in coola, It still doesn't change the fact that I think it's nasty and It just means there will be more of this nasty tasting snus for the rest of you that have retarded taste buds that like it Just goes to show that tastes differ so much, Not everyone will like every snus ... BTW... I do like alot of V2 snus such as Phantom Blue Los, Phantom Brown Los, Thunder Original Extra Strong, and Nordstrommen-Julesnus to name a few, So i do have some good taste
