Thunder test series

[LSX]

OT-1
Not sure about it, I still need to use more, perhaps I'll like it then lol?

OT-2

I do like this one. It tastes like flowers, and for some reason, reminds me of iced tea lemonade. Nothing overpowering though.

I have yet to crack into the other three, I took OT-2 with me to work today, so I've had more time with it, but even at the first portion, I enjoyed it more than OT-1.

Update: I got a hold of the bergamot on #1 and it's becoming too much for me, half way through the can. Looking forward to the next one.

[snusjus]

My thoughts so far:

OT1: Smells like bergamot and citrus... sound familiar? Tastes better than GES portions because it has less bitterness. I wouldn't mind v2 sticking with this one.

OT2: Smells funky and sweet at the same time. The flavor is pretty mellow and I can't detect any salt! I prefer OT1 over this by far.

OT3: ???

OT4: ???

OT5: ???

Now I'm really psyched since IMO Thunder Original really missed the mark on flavor.

[AtreyuKun]

Why for the love of all that is unholy have I not received mine yet? I ordered it on May 24! It says "shipped". Doesn't say when though.
Northerner baby, why you gotta make me hit ya?

I was getting impatent as well since I ordered mine when they first had it advertised on Northerner, but I came home from school last night and there it was.

OT1: Like Chad has said the portions are very comfy on the gum, also seems to me like Thunder is stuffing more tobacco into the portions. Like the others I am not one to explain how this stuff taste, but I think Chad described the experience exceptionally well.

I thought the Thunder Original was great. It was my fave snus, but I've quit starks since then.

Ot-5

First portion impression:
Cracked open OT-5 to find a strong ammonia smell waiting. Portions were full and moist (not quite as moist as other Thunder portions) with a soft material that was comfortable to the gums. The flavor that first struck me was citrus, perhaps grapefruit, but definately not lemon, lime or orange. This was followed by bergamont, herbs and a slight, but not overpowering, salty finish. There is nothing that feels artificial about the flavor.
Nicotine came on slowly, but made its presence known after 10 minutes. I'm enjoying this one.

I having been using OT-2 and really cannot taste anything, Im getting the nic, just no taste.

Started w/ OT-5 (going backwards just 'cos)

Portions are drier than Thunder ESOP or Berry. I think they feel similar to Got portions but the material seems to be the same V2 usually uses so the tobacco comes through faster. I initially get a tartness, I can't identify it completely so I'm chalking it up to bergamont. I also get a hint of nuts, pistachios to be exact. In fact, it tastes like that skin around the pistachio nut itself (bet/ the nut and the shell). This all gives way to the traditional bitterness. I wish it weren't an ES so I could rip through the can in a couple of days. I simply can't chain ES's but with this Test Series my nic tolerance will certainly rise. This definitely has nic-power. It's not drippy which I like. Dare I say this is a mild ES as far as flavor goes. The tobacco is nice and strong at the end, but the flavors don't bowl me over.

Can't really compare yet as this is the only one I've tried so far but if this were the winner I don't think I'd order it.

Edit: After removing the portion my lip feels nice. The skin is still soft and smooth. This leads me to believe there's a lower salt content. It's easy on the gums.

Moved on to OT-4

Wow. This is a great snus!

Might be a better idea to keep the detailed reviews until later?

[sgreger1]

Why is Thunder trying to re-invent the wheel. Thunder frosted is the holy grail, the unicorn, and cannot be improved on

[WickedKitchen]

OT-3 is also good. Not as good as 4, but better than 5.

I think there's a floral thing going on with #3 but I'm not sure yet

[tom502]

It's not Thunder Frosted that is getting the make-over, it's the Original, which I quite liked as it was, esp if the can was dripping wet.
