July 14, 2007 - Skoal Dry Tobacco Packs are being test marketed in Austin, TX and in Louisville, KY. In Austin Skoal Dry is going head-to-head with Camel Snus. As you can see from the images the refrigerated Camel SNUS was initially selling for $4.69 while the Skoal Dry Skoal Dry that was suppose to sell for $3.50 -$4 a tin (containing 20 pouches)had an inital introductory price of 99 cents. Maybe they have the same motto as the new deeply discounted smokeless tobacco product Bobcat: "Price gets em, quality keeps em" - see Newsbrief - June 6, 2007. It should read"Price gets em, ADDICTION keeps em." Images from the Tobacco Prevention & Control Program, Texas Department of State Health Services. Click on images to enlarge..(TobaccoWatch.org)
