Pretty interesting thought made in one of the posts. Looks like Redman out dueled Marlboro and WON!

Reading thru all the posting here on this topic it’s obvious the bloggers had it right as PM discontinued the Marlboro brand of moist tobacco.

Last week, David Adelman (at Morgan Stanley) reported that Altria will;
- reduce the price of Skoal and Copenhagen by $.30/can in SE states, and
- end its test market of Marlboro MST in Atlanta.

While Adelman also indicated that Altria may test market Marlboro MST in other locations, I suspect that Marlboro MST wasn’t selling well in Atlanta, and that future test markets for Marlboro MST may be with a different tasting (and perhaps different nicotine content) product.

Any one know if PM is going to expand the test? It’s been in Georgia a long time now.

Any one know what is the status with Marlboro Moist in Georgia now that Philip Morris is buying USST?

For all those folks that thought Marlboro Moist was as good as Copenhagen. Think again if it was true then why did PM go spend 11.7 million dollars. The reason – Marlboro Moist is bad! Even giving it away to consumers didn’t work. I hope they keep a few folks on board to run the moist side of the business. And a serious word of advice from a big time dipping retailer, moist tobacco is not cigarettes and needs to be marketed differently! I wonder if they will understand how to market a product with a shelf life of a couple of weeks. Don’t mess with my Cope!

Can any one in the Dallas market discuss how Marlboro Moist is doing in the recent launch by PM?
