Marlboro SNUS

[smet9772]

Anyone tried them yet? I got a couple of coupons in the mail for them. Just wanted to see if anyone knows about them and if you like them? I think they are just like chew but with no spitting.

Any thoughts?

What is Marlboro Snus?

Marlboro Snus is a smokeless tobacco pouch product designed especially for adult smokers in the U.S.

Snus pouches are not cigarettes or spitting tobacco like dip or chew. Our snus pouches utilize a flavor strip and spit-free dried tobacco.

Marlboro Snus comes in four varieties – Rich, Mild, Mint, and Spice.

We are introducing this product into test market in the Dallas/Fort Worth area to understand adult smoker acceptance.

Why Marlboro Snus?

We are introducing this product because we believe there is a market for spit-free tobacco pouch products for those adult smokers interested in a smokeless tobacco alternative to cigarettes. Marlboro Snus is part of our continuing efforts to make progress against our growth strategy by offering a new product in the smokeless tobacco category. Our growth strategy aims to add to the mix of products we offer starting with those tobacco or tobacco-related products that are adjacent and similar to our existing business, cigarettes. We believe that Marlboro’s brand equity may help to encourage trial of this product by adult smokers.

Our research shows that some adult smokers are interested in smokeless tobacco alternatives to cigarettes. Today’s alternatives – chew or dip – satisfy some adult smokers. However, many adult smokers dislike spitting, the appearance of the product, its texture and taste, and its packaging.

Last year, Philip Morris USA introduced Taboka, a smoke-free, spit-free tobacco pouch product, into test market in the Indianapolis area. We have learned a lot from the Taboka test market and are applying those learnings to the Marlboro Snus test market. Taboka remains in test market.

Well I bought some yesterday, and they are alright, I think I am going to use them while I am at work and when I am around the wife on the weekdays so she doesn't have to smell me after I smoke. They are like the bandits with out the spitting.

There is no need to spit while they are in your mouth. It is kind of weird. I don't mine them but I think I enjoy smoking better, IMO
