Review: Thunder Frosted Nicotine Pouches

If you’re an old school snus head like me, the Thunder brand is probably one you’re familiar with. The Frosted flavor is also a classic, going back to the early days of snus. While Swedish Match has discontinued most of V2 Tobacco’s snus products, they have kept the Thunder brand name alive with a series of nicotine pouches. I first heard about these in 2020, and I think I first tried them in 2021, so they’ve been around for a few years. Today, we have their Frosted flavor on deck, so let’s check it out!

This one has a standard catch lid on top of the can that pops off to reveal the compartment for discarding of your used nicotine pouches. The flavor description on this one says, “Tobacco free, all-white & slim nicopods that deliver extra strong kicks (13.5 mg/portion) and a fresh spearmint flavor!” Each can weighs 16.8 grams. I counted 21 pouches in the can, which would be 0.8g each. The nicotine content on the bottom of the can says 13mg/pouch.

While the flavor description says “spearmint”, to me it’s mostly menthol. Opening up the can, I get a big menthol aroma from this one. It has a subtle sweetness to it, but isn’t too over the top sweet. In the lip, the pouches are slim, and soft, with a moderate moisture amount. They’re pretty comfortable, and yield a subtle burn when I put one in, followed by a gentle cooling presence. In the flavor profile, again, it’s mostly menthol to me. I notice a little mint in the background, but it’s not so much spearmint, it seems more peppermint to me. It has a little sweetness to it, but it’s definitely not over the top. In the strength, this one has a pretty solid kick to it. It hits pretty quick, and feels to be a little over the strong level. The flavor hangs out a good 35-45 minutes, on average.

The Bottom Line

While it didn’t taste like the Thunder Frosted of the olden days, it still has a decent flavor to it. I’m not a big fan of menthol, so this one isn’t one I’d use personally. But I think people who like minty or mentholated flavors will most likely enjoy this. It also has a strong kick to it, so if you like a product with a good nicotine kick to it, this is one you’ll most likely enjoy!
