snorter

Something quite impressive

A snorter is something impressively large, powerful, or intense—often a storm, a drink, or a problem: That blizzard was a real snorter.

The word suggests something that makes you sit up and take notice.

It can also mean a person who snorts, whether from laughter, derision, or drug use.
