Thunder Blue

[joe broker]

Has anyone tried this yet? Wondering if it is a stark version of Phantom Blue or something else entirely ... I know both are made by V2 and it has a similar description of juniper and herbs.

i haven't yet, i was waiting for someone to review it. i'm curious how it is.

I was just about to post a topic asking the same question. I guess I'll stick with Frosted until I see some reviews.

ok i got some on order with my next los order, i'll put a review when i get some.

Ordered some yesterday and will be my first of this flavor profile. I'll put in my two cents as well

[joe broker]

I have some on order too -- can't wait to read reviews and try it myself.

Here is the product description from Buysnus.com

Thunder Blue has an very smooth long lasting taste of juniper berry and herbs. Thunder snus is made from the best hand selected tobacco leafs. Comes with double lid for spent portions. Only at BuySnus.com

Could this be like an LD blue stark?

Grrrrr Must have patients.

I'm still awaiting my order. It shipped on Thursday so I'm guessing it should be here before weeks end

I got it as a bonus can from Buysnus. Will review as soon as it is here.

bump

maybe everyone could post their reviews in this one so we have a good thread about it.

[mlkramer]

Will post when I get it. Think we ordered around the same day. I did break open the goat rape I had yet to try as I had not tried anything juniper. I wasn't overwhelmed but I'm guessing that's due to my own expectations being too high based on others reviews etc. That and I do like my saphire gin and tonic loaded with lime... Hmmm maybe a slice of lime in the can?

THUNDER Frosted= Very good.
Phantom BLUE = Very crappy.

THUNDER BLUE=?

I'm thinking it's going to be a combination of the two, so it'll smell slightly of windex and have a smooth minty taste with a HINT of ass instead of the overpowering flavor of ass?

i really am curious about this one [/b]

ok it arrived today. review fresh from my blog:

Thunder Blue. A BuySnus.com exclusive. When I first heard about this, I instantly associated it with bad. I don't know why, I just went into it with a bad outlook. Thunder Frosted being my favorite snus, I assumed this was Thunder Frosted+Phantom Blue. Now, Thunder Frosted is great, but I assumed adding some Phantom Blue to the mix would be a disaster. I ordered anyone. After all, I had to try it, Blue is my favorite color - and I'd love to have a snus with "Blue" in the name that I actually enjoyed. Terrible reason to buy something, but it gave me a reason to buy it.

When it arrived today, I'll be honest, I was quite excited. I was really hoping this would be a great new product. Sadly to say, it's not what I was hoping for. This snus is like a high nicotine Phantom Blue. The only part that resembles the Thunder line I know and love is the name. This is like a supercharged Phantom Blue. Upon opening the can, there it was. That wonderful Windex smell (sarcasm). As soon as it hit me I knew it was a down hill ride. The portion tastes MILDLY (and I want to emphasize that word) of Juniper, and there are small hints of flowery notes in the snus itself, but it tastes like it smells, like cleaning supplies. The only good thing about it is that it has a strong nic hit. That's about it. But for that, I've got other portions I can pop in of brands that I LIKE.

In the end, nothing special about this snus. It's a stronger Phantom Blue. The juniper is stronger, but so is that windex smell and that cleaning supply taste I loathe about the original. I wouldn't suggest this to anyone unless you're a fan of Phantom Blue.

why did you think it was going to be like the frosted?

Thunder just means that it is strong.

I love the flavor of PB. I do not like the smell. It's a strange dichotomy.

Sorry you didn't like it. I ordered a roll and added 2 through the bonus. Can't wait.
