TaBoka TasteFest in Indy -Event Review.03/23/07

[nicotinedream]

Just received an invitation from Phillip Morris for a TaBoka TasteFest, being held at a Ruth Chris Steak House. Very high end invitation in presentation. RSVP, of course. They give you 6 nights to choose from and a variety of times to select. No coupons, however. I will post how the event was handled and what give-a-ways they may present. Wonder if they'll be upset when I share some Swedish Snus and Camel Snus at the party?

Take some General and N&J with you. That will get them worried

[gopherbob]

Actually, I wonder if they will ask questions about certain things. Bringing a can of real snus might be worthwhile.

that's funny. When they hand out free samples, take three or four taboka packets and throw em in your mouth all at once. Watch there eyes open wide. Tell them your just getting your hourly nicotine fix.

[gopherbob]

I actually used three at a time... but I normally use two regular size portions.

[TBonehawk]

Yeah, I get a bit cranky when I have just one portion in - especially when drinking. I either have to go with strong portions, or give those XL/Grand pportions a try. I've been liking Gustavus Original lately, so I am seriously thinking about trying out their portions - or perhaps Grov XL, since I quite like GrovSnus. Any opinions on them?

Sorry for the two day delay. The TasteFest went like this. NO pictures were allowed to be taken. They checked us in as groups of 10 to a table, with a moderator. The moderator explained how the evening was going to work. Round the table introductions of everyone. You had to address all discussions and comments to the whole table and could not talk about any other tobacco products, only TaBoka. We ordered from the Ruth Chris full menu, including 1 alcoholic beverage, which surprised me. After dinner the moderator comes back with 1 sample pouch of each flavor. You were to taste each flavor, 1- Green, 1- Regular. One did not have the time to leave product in the mouth long enough for true nicotine evaluation. Out of 10 people at our table 6 were females. I was the only person who had tried TaBoka before the Tastefest. It was voted that the Green flavor was the most accepted and the one that everyone liked the most. We then filled out a survey about the experience and product. They gave everyone 1 sample pack of their choice, and a coupon for a buy 1 get 1 free. No one from Phillip Morris was in attendance, it was handled by a hired marketing group. It was kinda like a Benihana meal, eating with 8 people that you've never met before until that night. Fun night.
