    Marlboro Snus ... WTF?

    Ok, so as Ive said i have tried Camel Snus and its not all that bad, actually a good change up from swedish snus from time to time.

    On their website they even talk about snus in sweden and I believe they actually sell their product their as well.

    So for RJR i give them 2 thumbs up for marketing, packaging and a lil bit of education as to what it is ( even though I think snus in america wont take off until the companies actually find a way to convey to the consumer what it is and how to use it )

    But i was checking on what Marlboro brands have been up to.

    I occasionally use their dip and actually enjoy it. But i got something in the mail today saying the product line will be discontinued in Feb 09.

    So i went to see about their snus.

    Turns out it comes in this really thin foil package, similar to foil packed gum, and only has 6 pouches per foil pack. LMAO

    Their whole pitch is the foil pack fits into your cig package so you can snus when you cant smoke.

    But i know of numerous companies that do not even allow tobacco on the property and you can be terminated if they find you with tobacco on the property.


    I would imagine it would be easier to have snus on you , as most americans dont even know what the hell it is, than a pack a cigs and get away with it.

    Plus i would imagine, you can see the packages on their website, that these foil packs arent durable at all.

    I still prefer Swedish Snus from Sweden but it would be nice to see an American Company make a snus thats actually snus.

    So far Camel is the only company taking snus serious. ( Triumph doesnt count as they are made by Swedish Match )

    Wow dude. I guess I'll never see their website. They wanted me to sign over my first born son, an ounce of urine, my fingerprints, my DNA sequence, a stool sample, two baby teeth, and three hair follicles. Oh yeah and my name address and last four ss#.

    Wow I just wanted to window shop, not sign my life away.
