New Skoal coming soon?

[tom502]

Over the pastyear, USSTC has taken the learnings from this limited launch to create a new platform ofproducts called Skoal Xtra that USSTC plans to launch in the first quarter of this year.Skoal plans to introduce these products in four flavors – Rich, Crisp, Wintergreen and Mint – inboth pouch and long-cut formats. These new products should continue expanding Skoal’sappeal to adult smokeless consumers seeking new flavor-forward tobacco-blended tastes, andreinforce the adult tobacco consumer’s perception of Skoal being the innovative smokelessbrand that delivers great taste.

so is it dip or snus.. im confused. im like out of the loop or something i guess.

just the name rich is making me nauseous, crisp (wtf? are we selling chips here crisp isn't a flavor), and wintergreen and mint is kind of a given. I heard they were launching like 12 products in some news article not sure where, I thought it was a misprint but I guess it makes sense I mean 5 or 6 new snus products shouldn't be that hard and it sounds like good news to me.

Xtra... if they didnt steal that from Skruf. i dont know.

[Jwalker]

Yep convenience store news just do a google news search for Skoal. 11 new products apparently and I got the impression they weren't snus, this seems unbelievable to me they barely have 11 products. I guess they're trying to beat the FDA substantial equivalence law deadline and are going to throw every insane flavor they could think of out there.

isnt Skoal how you say cheers in Svedska? wheres all the good traditional svenskt snus, the false bass turds.

ok so i looked it up on google translate and its danish for cheers only in danish its spelled differantly!

In Icelandic, it's skál (pronounced ska'ow'l).

I know Marlboro Rich "snus" is not good, but a Skoal Xtra Rich long cut sounds good to me. Not sure what Crisp would be. I suspect Rich would be a natural, I'd like Crisp to be a plain Menthol. I doubt it though.

I am looking forward to a low tsna/bacteria/chemicals, more natural flavored line of American dips and not anything like that Klondike attempt.

Skoal crisp is a mix of apple and citrus, rich is i think a stronger berry flavor. ( I work for a gas station and have gotten promo stuff for distributer).

Apparently, the Xtra sub-brand of Skoal is going to have a pronounced flavor, similar to Kodiak and Grizzly.
