    American Sprit Snus?

    I would kill to see american sprint come out with a snus.. I am sure many of you have heard of them but for those who have never heard of them (santa fe tobacco) they are the pinnacle of a ethical tobacco company(if that's poss)..

    When I did smoke, I only smoked those and I could not even touch a Mal.. There tobacco was sooo good.. I would love to see them come out with a snus.. hint...hint...

        I thought they were independent. When did RJR swallow them up?

          They are a Subsidiary Company.

            as far as I know, at least the last 5 years prolly longer if not always. You just bought into the marketing campaign. It is slick and does seem independent, but it is RJR thru and thru.

              Yeah. It's "Sante Fe Tobacco Company", but still overseen by RJR.
              Yes, they use "all natural, no additive" stuff in their cigs... But it doesn't make it better haha.

              I doubt they could make a quality snus, given RJR's track record.

                            After a quick Google: http://www.hoovers.com/company/Santa.../xshyci-1.html

                            "Judging by its logo Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company sells what may be the closest thing to a peace pipe. Packs of its Natural American Spirit additive-free cigarettes, adorned with an American Indian smoking the ceremonial pipe, are sold in Canada, Europe, Japan, and the US. The tobacco-product manufacturer sells as many as 10 types of the branded cigarettes, including the imported Dunhill brand. Though the company sells additive-free smokes, Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company doesn't claim they are any safer to use than the typical cigarette. Founded in 1982, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings (now Reynolds American) bought the company in 2002 for $340 million. President and CEO Nicholas Bumbacco joined in 2009."

                            Would like to see them have a shot at snus assuming some pre-RJR people are still there.

                              They were good.. I always had a pack of yellows on me everywhere I went but I am glad I put them down.. Would be a neat snus though.. As long as they use some of that sweet organic tabbaco...
