    Sagedil's Thunder Review

    So I finally got me some Thunder. Thank you Xobeloot. And I wanted to give my reaction to the final production version.

    I popped one in as soon as I ripped the envelop open. Very nice salt content, perfect salt content really. A strong, tobacco taste. I suck at describing snus tastes, I can never tell what else is in there, so that will have to do. But what is SO significant about Thunder is the perfect balance of taste. It is good, not too mild at all, but just not "too" strong. My biggest problem with snus sometimes is the taste starts coming on so strong. Many, many a time, I have had to spit a snus out way too early just because the taste suddenly was more than I wanted.

    So what makes Thunder so amazing to me is the taste NEVER comes on too strong. I have now had it in for over an hour and a half, and the taste is still perfectly pitched. Plus, the nicotine level, as high as it is, is about the most gentle strong nicotine hit I ever had. Since it is so high, I have no need for another right away. I imagine this is a snus I would keep in and forget about for 3 hours or more even.

    From the testing days, I remembered that this was the best snus I ever had. Now that I have the production version, I will shout the same thing from every rooftop I can. It really is that good. If you don't at least give it a try, I really think you are foolish. If they suddenly passed a law that said I could only use one snus the rest of my life, this would be it. And that is coming from a guy who usually buys 20 different snuses at a time because I hate using the same snus too frequently. I still will use others occasionally, but I suspect that I will use Thunder at least 50% of the time, if not even more.



    And just to make clear to everyone,. Thunder has about as much in common with the rest of V2's snus as Paris Hilton has with Barack Obama. Patrick, I have to admit. I never thought V2 had it in them to create a snus this good. Congratulations, you have a massive winner on your hands.

        New snus varieties are coming out every couple days, and I never see this kind of enthusiasm for them. There must be something to criticize about Thunder!

        I still won't be trying it because I'm not participating in the nicotine arms race, and V2's vast line of snus has been consistently crappy.

            You did!!! 2.5 hours for my first, waited a bit. Now on my 2nd and I expect I may not "need" another snus the rest of the night. I am curious just how long I can go with this one in.

            And SmAsH2003, he won. Deal with it!! :lol: :lol: :lol:


            Seriously, I hope you, and every other American who actually cares about this country is praying every day he is successful. We got major problems. Time to put the politics aside and just do what we have to to get through this mess. Capiche? :wink:

              I often put in a portion of thunder when I wake up (around 6:45ish) and take it out somewhere around 10:30-11.

              The flavor reaches full potential after about 20 min but doesnt start to fade for a good 2 hours and still has a mild flavor after 3-4 hours.

              This stuff is pure win!

                No offense, and please know I really mean no disrespect when i tell you this. But you are being dumb.


                To not try something, at least to see what the fuss is all about, especially when two different snusers whose normal tastes in snus are about as far apart as possible, who both, btw, have about a combined post total of 2600 posts, so may, just maybe, may know a few things about snus. When BOTH of these posters say it is the most amazing snus they ever have tried. And you say you won't even try it because previous V2 snus have been crappy (I agree with that btw), but you won't even try it to see for yourself. THAT is dumb my friend.


                As far as the nicotine war, i understand that. But I really suspect that was not the purpose. I think, perhaps, the nicotine content is part of the balance that V2 was trying to create with this snus. I mean, as big as it is. And I admit, it is big, the nicotine delivery is so smooth, it is smoother than even a few regular snus. I mentioned in previous posts that i didn't even know these were strong until Xobeloot told me.

                Try it, don't try it. That is your business. Means nothing to me. I have no ties to V2 or anyone else. Hell, I wasn't even asked, despite my presence here, to be a tester. I am so 'enthused" about Thunder simply because it is that good. Miles ahead good compared to any other snus IMNSHO.

                I'm posting about it, because that is always what I have done. And whether it be Elyxr, or Thunder, or anything else I have ever raved about, it is becasue I found it to be that useful or good. And folks who did listen to me, or think that maybe they should try something I recommend, have always been happy they at least tried it.


                But what you do is your business. I respect that, even if I think it's dumb.
                :wink:

                  I am not particularly fond of V2 snuses but I will for sure give this one a try. I also have not tried anything stronger than a normal one but what the hey! life is short.

                    Honestly, the strength is in no way overwhelming. It is just a super long ride.

                        What he said. :lol:


                        One thing to add. And this is to the chainsnusers out there like me. This is NOT a snus to chainsnus with. The nicotine WILL build up. I kinda rushed my 2nd one, and I can feel it a bit. When I was using the test ones, since I had so few and wanted to stretch the fun out, I never rushed between them. having a roll showing up soon, that is no longer really an issue. But I will need to remember to take a break with this.
