Bandits and Pouches

Recently, US Smokeless introduced a new form, called Bandits and Pouches. These forms are only available in Mint, Berry Blend, Apple Blend, Citrus blend, Vanilla, Cherry and Wintergreen flavors. The tobacco is packed into thin pouches which is intended to make it easier to handle and place in the mouth. It may also help protect against the common act of swallowing the tobacco, which may cause unpleasant and dangerous side effects (nausea, vomiting, headache, diarrhea, etc).


Skoal Dry

US Smokeless has announced a new product from Skoal called Skoal Dry. It comes in the form of pouches similar to Bandits and does not require spitting by the user. This product is better for those who swallow regular Skoal unwillingly.

Skoal tobacco is a tobacco snuff product marked as 'smokeless tobacco.' Skoal tobacco is often confused with chewing tobacco, but they are not the same.
Even after the Skoal or dip has been removed from the mouth, high levels of nicotine still exist on the inner part of the lower lip, leaving the user most likely spitting for a while after the dip was removed.
Skoal is in a family of tobacco usually referred to as dip (slang).
Dipping tobacco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (364 words)
Dipping tobacco (known more technically as American moist snuff) is a form of smokeless tobacco.
It is commonly referred to as dip, and the act of using it as dipping.
The term chewing tobacco is also often applied to this family of products, although this more correctly refers to a separate group of tobacco derivatives altogether.
