The word on the street – no doubt R.J. Reynolds Tobacco (RJR) was surprised Marlboro SNUS entry..

June 18, 2007 - The word on the street – no doubt R.J. Reynolds Tobacco (RJR) was surprised Marlboro SNUS entry (see 6/9/2007 below) would be available in 4-flavors: rich, mild, mint and spice. Executives from Philip Morris (PM) had indicated the company has learned a lot from the test marketing of Taboka Toabbcopaks. Meaning using various flavorings will help disguise the actual nasty taste of the tobacco. Just take a look at USST's Skoal, now with 11 flavors: wintergreen (the original flavor), straight, mint, cherry, classic, spearmint, berry blend, vanilla blend, apple blend, peach blend and the new citrus blend. Most be a flavor just about anyone would like. We have to remember that RJR on 7/13/2006 - see SNUS.biz, signed an agreement with Norwegian SNUS company called Taboca - a name very similar to the PM's Taboka. Need a job - RJR is still stationing representatives in c-stores just waiting to give a free pack of smokes to a person that happens to purchase a Marlboro. One more item: Don’t forget the tag for Skoal Dry - use is discreet so others wouldn’t notice you’re enjoying it.. Just what our kids want to hear. Remember the many negative consequences of going smokeless - the disgusting mouth syndrome. By the way at least in Indonesia there's a PMI product called Marlboro kretek (a Marlboro cigarette made of a mixture of tobacco and clove).Click on Image to Enlarge. (TobaccoWatch.org)
