Dear R.J. Reynolds

I got a comment on my blog once and it made sense. Sad to say this but American's like sweet. Tobacco companies do a lot of research and testing before releasing a new product and American tobacco market responds best to overly sweet products. Sad but true. They just wouldn't respond well right now to a traditional Swedish taste. In time that may change, but for now it is what it is.

This growing forum seems to really "slap the face" of that expensive research and development.
Most American snus users that have come here all convert to the real product over time which goes to show.

I dont see the American stuff flying off the shelves either, so something is definately flawed with their logic or is being deliberately done to appease other sales perhaps? just all seems kinda strange.

I'm with you Roo, and I'll take it a little farther, and weed Swedish Match from the mix also. There's too many smaller makers that are responsive to their customers to give these behemoths more money to restrict snus, and release substandard products.

Amen Brother!Amen! Word...............

While I completely understand the bias against the large tobacco companies I would be more comfortable with one of them having good success in the US with snus. As long as they didn't try to shut out the little guys (a distinct possibility with those corporate jerks) a successful US snus would make the probability of snus being continually available in the USA a bit stronger.
