Offroad Frosted

Who's got it, who's tried it....what's everyone think??

Mine hasn't come in yet, so I'm curious!

Alright, I got mine yesterday. I've been using it and I'm rather enjoying it.

The taste is alot like Thunder Frosted. Really good spearmint taste. The portion isn't as strong. The portions are also less moist (not dry, but not oozing gallons of water like regular Thunder Frosted) and seem to be more consistent and way more full than Thunder Frosted portions. They're also made of that comfy material that the Offroad LE was made of, it seems....I dunno if these are new portion bags, but I like them, they're really comfy on the gums.

Thanks for your review. I'm a recent Thunder Frosted convert. Always avoided mint snus, but everyone here raving about the Thunder convinced me to try it. I got the minis and do indeed love the stuff. The problem is that I run through those minis like cigarettes. I pop a fresh one in every thirty minutes. I find sterks to be too strong for me unless I'm drinking, so I haven't ordered the Frosted regular sized portions. Anyway, I appreciate your review of the Offroad Frosted. Sounds like it's just what I need to fill that gap.

Okay, my review and thoughts on this.

My very first snus I ever bought a roll of was Thunder Frosted. It just grew on me. I went through about 4 or 5 rolls of it before two things happened. One - I couldn't do flavored snus all the time. And two - I couldn't chain snus sterks like I used to. Months ago, I started using General White as my full time snus, but I always kept a few cans of Thunder Frosted in the fridge, just to have some to go back to as needed.

I love mint. When I go for that occasional flavored snus, the majority of the time it's a Thunder Frosted. Or Triumph Mint, if I'm lucky enough to have some at that time, but it's hard to keep it in stock, so it's a rarity that I have it when I want it. But, I still found myself not quite wanting all the nicotine of a Thunder Frosted ES portion. I just wanted that smooth, fresh spearmint flavor, but not all the nicotine. Enter Offroad Frosted.



The thing I like most about Offroad Frosted is that the portions are moist, but not too moist. I like Thunder Frosted, don't get me wrong, but the heavy moisture content of the portion is something that turned on me after a while. I don't like a heavy drip. Offroad Frosted portions, as you can see from the picture, are moist, but not oozing. Also, the portions are very, very full. This may be just the fact that these are the first off the assembly line, but I did enjoy that from the first few cans I went through, and I didn't notice any change in subsequent cans, either. The aroma of Offroad Frosted is very reminiscent of Thunder Frosted, a fresh spearmint aroma, and the taste is similar as well. Granted, it does not taste exactly like Thunder Frosted, but the flavor is pretty close. Very pure, fresh, clear taste of spearmint with a pleasant aftertaste. And the thing I like most - the nicotine content. 8mg portions. Granted, form time to time I do like a sterk, but when I just want a mint snus, it's nice that I can now reach for a non-mini portion with a regular portion nicotine content and a great flavor.

I'm giving a big kudos to V2 for dropping Icemint (which I never really could get into, it was okay...but nothing spectacular), and bringing us Offroad Frosted. A great addition to the V2 family, and a welcome addition to my snus library.

Darn it i just went and ordered a can of the OR icemint los. Had to fill out an order so figured i would give it a shot. Will have to keep my eyes out for the frosted now.
