I agree with a comment made prior that the manufacturers are all just trying to get new age products into the market prior to FDA regulation taking place. So the final product could still be completed.
This is even why I believe PM has pulled their reduced harm cigarette for now but the technology of the filter is already out in the market so as to be in the system prior to FDA.

I tried the new products and they were so weak and taste pretty bad. I don’t think they have it right yet!

I’m wondering if anyone knows if Philip Morris has any new age tobacco products being developed. I saw were they discontinued their reduced harm cigarette Marlboro Ultra Smooth. But you would have to think they are working on some type of product like Reynolds?

Speaking of alternative products, does anyone know if there’s any truth to the fact that the “mist” blowing down infront of the entrances of the PM booth was nothing less than a nicotine spray they were secretly testing on unwitting NACS attendees? Personally, I’m not sure because it smelled like B.O. to me so I turned around and walked away!

I attended the tobacco workshop that was not very clearly designated in all the info. It was interesting as it discussed the issues in Canada. We really need consider the issues presented but it made me wonder why NACS never included this in their objectives when they were working with the legislature on the FDA regulation.

I was impressed with the Reynolds booth as they always do a great job – so creative – but I liked the move to get the new products out as future FDA legislation becomes a reality. They can fix the product. They are intent on bringing in the new smokeless products! Need to be careful though as to not upset Matt Myers! He’s a nightmare to the industry as he has a closed mind which just shows how ignorant he is to the possibility of reduced harm!

Someone at Reynolds is smoking crack with the dissolvable strips. With .6 mg of nicotine, they may as well be selling candies — nobody is going to buy that one a second time. Need to re-design that product. The Rods are pretty neat. I think mint is a no go. Re-design strips and sell them along rods — would be interesting.

I got a chance to taste the new Reynolds product and I think they must have forgot to get test results as it was bad! Read here that they stopped the sampling due to that but really not sure if thats true as I was there two days and sampled it both days!

I think a lot of distributors were very upset when Commonwealth sent their cans of Premier tobacco directly to retailers, bypassing the wholesalers. The distributors were even more mad about it when the retailers were calling them up asking if the state taxes were paid. A big problem.

Has anyone heard if Commonwealth is going to be adding a 3% freight surcharge on to their orders like Altaids recently did? I heard it’s in the works, but I cannot confirm it.
