Domestic Tobacco Company

Domestic Tobacco Company is a small manufacturer of chewing tobacco based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

### History

A.K. Mann started growing tobacco in 1755 near Millersville, PA and set up a plant to cure and process its tobacco. The Manns had three companies - AK Mann, Mann Tobacco Co., and Domestic Tobacco Co. Current owner (as of 2008), Geoffrey Ranck, had ties to the Mann family and eventually took over and merged the companies.

In the late 1970s, Ranck became associated with the famous Demuth's Tobacco Shop, the oldest tobacco shop in the country located in Lancaster, when he purchased Demuth's smokeless brands. Domestic then manufactured Demuth's Chewing Tobacco as well as its cigars. Years ago, Domestic also bought the brand name for Demuth's Snuff, which is not currently made.

Unfortunately, the famous Demuth's Tobacco Shop closed in 2010.

Tobacco growing, though, is still a large cash crop in Lancaster County and Amish Country, accounting for more than $22 million per year. The two main varieties grown are "Pennsylvania 41", which is used for cigar filler and chewing tobacco, and "Maryland 609", blended with a Southern burley for cigarettes. Amish tobacco farmers then sell their harvest to local brokers, typically either Domestic Tobacco or Lancaster Leaf.

### Current Products

* Amish Plain
* Amish Honey Cured
* Good Bite
* JC Scrap

### Former Products

*Limited information is available, but it is assumed the following products are no longer available.*

* Lancaster Corona cigars
* Lancaster Palma cigars
* Pennsylvania No. 2 cigars

**Father Bautista** is a mention-only character. He's been in Delos Crossing since at least before Tyler was sent to Fireweed.

He can be seen in a picture in the storage room of Vecchi's General Store. His photo and the frame have been decorated with hearts and the writing "A+B" (presumably standing for "Alyson+Bautista"), which Michael insists was Alyson Ronan's doing. He says she had a crush on him for ages.

A nearby poster advertises his Bible study.

Tahoe

A counter display of Tahoe.

Tahoe was a brand of dipping tobacco manufactured by S&M Brands, makers of Bailey's cigarettes.

S&M Brands, founded in 1995, was an expansion of the previous family business of growing and brokering tobacco. It then began to sell Tahoe, Riverside, and Bailey's cigarettes; all were discount brands. The entire company folded in 2019.

*The Tahoe smokeless brand was likely not in production as long as its three brands of cigarettes were, but an exact timeline is unknown.*

Big Duke

A bag of Big Duke Sweet Blend.

Big Duke is a discount brand of chewing tobacco manufactured by the Pinkerton Tobacco Company.

At first, Big Duke only consisted of one product, the original. Later, a "Sweet Blend" was added, thus, bags now indicate either "Original Flavor" or "Sweet Blend".

Big Duke is available in a 3oz bag, which is often pre-priced at $1.99, and a 16oz bag which is often pre-priced at $9.99. Due to its price point, it seems to compete with Stoker's Red Supreme and Red Supreme Bold products of the National Tobacco Company.
Timber Wolf

Timber Wolf is a brand of dipping tobacco manufactured by the Pinkerton Tobacco Company, owned by Swedish Match North America. The product comes in a plastic lid, which Pinkerton cites as having a better seal for moisture, stands up to the elements, and costs less to make.

## History

Timber Wolf was introduced in 1994.

In 2004, Swedish Match re-positioned the brand with a new "everyday low price" position by lowering the list price by 30% per can.

In October 2004, Timber Wolf Peach was launched in all areas except the West following a successful test market. It joined Long Cut and Fine Cut Wintergreen, Long Cut and Fine Cut Natural, Long Cut Mint, Long Cut Straight, and Long Cut Cool Wintergreen as the current lineup of the time.

In June 2005, Timber Wolf Apple was launched nationally.

In early 2006, Timber Wolf added "Packs", its first pouches, in Wintergreen and Natural flavors.

In 2019, Timber Wolf celebrated its 25-year anniversary and showcased some of its previous packaging on its website.

In 2016, Turning Point Brands acquired the Wind River Tobacco Company. Wind River had manufactured discount chewing tobacco brands Appalachia, Big Mountain, Black Mountain, and Springfield Standard, which had been available in the South Atlantic region, and its twist brand, Snake River, which had been concentrated to the Pacific Northwest.

Kodiak

Kodiak is a brand of dipping tobacco manufactured by American Snuff Company. It is a premium brand.

### Former Products

Camel Dip

An advertisement for Camel Dip.

Camel Dip was a brand of dipping tobacco offered by the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.

## History

The product was first released in June 2009 with two varieties, Dark Milled and Wintergreen Wide Cut, in two lead markets, Colorado and Florida. It was manufactured at Conwood's Memphis, TN facility. When it was announced, it was planned to be priced in line with other premium brands, such as Skoal, Copenhagen, and Kodiak.

In 2010, R.J. Reynolds expanded its test market in the western U.S. in New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, California, Oregon, Taxes, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho and Washington, and introduced a third style, Wintergreen Pouches.

In November 2010, Reynolds decided to refocus efforts of the brand, pulling out of 11 of 12 states, leaving only Arizona as the test market. Growth of the brand had slowed, and the smokeless arm of Reynolds, now operating as American Snuff Co., decided to focus efforts on Grizzly.

Hawken

Hawken is a brand of chewing tobacco packaged in a round can. It has some unique characteristics that put it in a crossover category between chew and dipping tobacco.

Hawken has what is described as a "rough cut"; finely cut pieces of chewing tobacco packaged in a round can and then used in a similar fashion to dip. For this reason, it is classified as Tax Class C (chewing tobacco) and also has "chewing tobacco" printed on the can.

It is only available in a wintergreen flavor and is a premium brand.
On!

On! is a brand of nicotine pouches manufactured originally by Burger Söhne Holding AG.

## History

On! was first released in July 2016 in the Chicago, IL market. It continued expansion throughout the U.S., and reached $60 million in sales in 2018. In June 2019, Altria Group, Inc. acquired 80% of the company and formed a new subsidiary, Helix Innovations, LLC. The deal allows Altria to offer a competing product to Swedish Match's Zyn while circumventing the FDA's pre-market approval process, which began in August 2016. Altria plans to expand distribution and manufacturing capacity for On! following the acquisition.

## Products

*On! is available in 2mg, 4mg, and 8mg nicotine levels. It was originally also available in 1mg and 3mg levels.*

* Berry

Cougar

Cougar is a brand of dipping tobacco manufactured by American Snuff Company. It is a value brand. It has limited distribution compared to American Snuff's Grizzly and Kodiak brands. In 2021, Long Cut Straight and Fine Cut Natural were added to the line as well as a complete package re-design and recipe change. As of Spring 2022, it has seen wider regional distribution, especially in the Southeast.

Current Varieties

* Long Cut Natural
* Fine Cut Natural
* Long Cut Wintergreen
* Long Cut Straight
Grizzly

**Grizzly** is an American brand of Dipping tobacco manufactured by the American Snuff Company. It was introduced in 2001.

#### History

Grizzly was introduced in a three-state test market in 2001 with only two flavors, Long Cut Wintergreen and Fine Cut Natural. At this time, American Snuff Co. was named the Conwood Company. By the end of 2002, Grizzly was available nationally.

Grizzly today has the distinction of having the best selling dipping tobacco product on the market, Long Cut Wintergreen. It has risen to become American Snuff Co.'s flagship brand, as it was formerly Kodiak.

Grizzly added Wide Cut Wintergreen to its product lineup in 2014 as a product featuring wider individual strands of tobacco than standard long cut and a bold, long-lasting wintergreen flavor.

Grizzly added Dark Select to its portfolio nationally in the fall of 2017. In a press release, American Snuff Co. described the new flavor as a natural taste with a hint of sweetness and a distinct, smoky flavor. It also claims the dark styles have a richer, more robust flavor profile and are fire-cured to add a rich, smoky flavor and reduce bitterness.

Grizzly re-launched the "Dark" products within its line in 2019 with a new can design to reinforce its premium position. It was also more heavily advertised as 100% American tobacco following the re-launch. The direction taken after the re-launch seems to position the product separately from the rest of the brand, a tactic that competitor U.S. Smokeless has used with its Copenhagen and Skoal brands.

#### Products

Grizzly is available in the following variants:

* Dark Wintergreen Pouches
* Fine Cut Natural
* Fine Cut Wintergreen
* Long Cut Dark Mint
* Long Cut Dark Select
* Long Cut Dark Wintergreen
* Long Cut Mint
* Long Cut Natural
* Long Cut Straight
* Long Cut Wintergreen
* Mint Pouches
* Snuff
* Snuff Pouches
* Straight Pouches
* Wide Cut Wintergreen
* Wintergreen Pouches

Stoker's

Stoker's is a brand of chewing tobacco and dipping tobacco distributed by the National Tobacco Company.

### History

The Stoker family began in the tobacco business when current owner Bobby Stoker's father and grandfather (Fred Stoker), based in Dresden, TN, sold long-leaf tobacco in West Tennessee. Later, they began selling tobacco via mail-order, originally 10 pounds for $1 including postage. Bobby's father added the first chewing tobacco to the line, 24C. A later introduction that is still popular today is Stoker's value-size pound bags of chewing tobacco. Distribution first was limited to the South, but today Stoker's is available nationwide. The company was known as RBJ Sales, Inc. until being bought by National Tobacco in 2003.National Tobacco, at the time, was known as the North Atlantic Trading Company, Inc., and it bought the Fred Stoker & Sons direct mail catalog as well as the RBJ Sales, Inc. wholesale distribution portion of the business for $22.5 million. In August 2004, North Atlantic Tradinc Co. announced plans to close the Stoker's manufacturing facility in Dresden, TN and consolidate all operations to Louisville, KY.

### Production

Stoker's chewing tobacco begins with sourcing leaf from all around the world. Then, flavorings are added in a "multi-pass" process that allows the flavor to soak into the leaf.

Stoker's moist snuff is made of 100% American tobacco sourced from Tennessee and Kentucky. Unlike most other dip products, it is cut even longer than standard long cuts; their fine cut is cut finer and softer than competing products. It was originally only available in 12oz tubs, but has since been expanded to 1.2oz cans.

Dissolvable tobacco

Dissolvable tobacco refers to a class of smokeless tobacco products which dissolve in the mouth upon consumption. Currently, there are no dissolvable tobacco products on the market, due to poor sales and regualtory hurdles.

One of the two manufacturers of dissolvable tobacco products was Star Scientific, based in Glen Allen, Virginia. The company had two brands, **Ariva** and **Stonewall**. The company had looked to pursue the products as safer alternatives to traditional forms of tobacco, citing lower amounts tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs). However, the restrictions imposed by the Family Smoking Prevention & Tobacco Control Act prevented this, and the company had discontinued both products by December 31, 2012.

The other manufacturer of dissolvable tobacco products was the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. Under the Camel brand, three products were introduced: Camel Orbs, Camel Sticks, and Camel Strips. The products were test marketed, beginning in 2009, in Columbus, Indianapolis, and Portland. In March of 2011, R.J. Reynolds shifted the test market to Charlotte and Denver. By the end of July 2013, R.J. Reynolds was still offering the products in Charlotte and Denver, but had significantly cut marketing for the products.

The failure of dissolvable tobacco is likely due to other innovations and product introductions occuring near the same time. Electronic cigarettes ("vaping") had begun to grow during this time, as well as an increase in the availability of snus products. With a trend toward tobacco-leaf free types of products, such as nicotine pouches and lozenges in 2018 and 2019, it is unlikely that dissolvable tobacco will reappear on the market.

Pinkerton Tobacco Company

The Pinkerton Tobacco Company is an American manufacturer of both chewing tobacco and dipping tobacco based in Owensboro, KY.

### History

The company was founded by John W. Pinkerton in 1887 after he bought a controlling interest in the Zanesville, OH-based Worstall Cigar and Tobacco Company. He then created the formula for Red Man chewing tobacco on August 5, 1887.

In 1904, Red Man was launched in the Zanesville, OH area and quickly spread to other parts of Ohio. In 1911, when the Sherman Anti-Trust Act caused the break up of the Duke Trust, Pinkerton ownership was moved to the Liggett & Myers company.

During World War II, Pinkerton had produced their chewing tobacco with natural fruit substitutes instead of sugar due to rationing during the war. In 1967, Pinkerton became the first manufacturer to use a resealable foil pouch to package its products. In 1973, the factory was moved from Toledo to Owensboro, KY. Pinkerton began producing moist snuff in the early 1990s. Pinkerton moved some corporate offices to Richmond, VA in 1986, but still produces its products in Owensboro.

Snus

Snus is a smokeless tobacco product placed in the upper lip originating in Scandinavia. Unlike Dipping tobacco, snus is steam-pasteurized instead of fermented, and spitting is not necessary.

Snus has a lengthy history in Europe, notably in Sweden and Scandinavian nations, but has not had much of a presence until recently in the United States, likely due to the proliferation of other smokeless tobacco products. However, snus is now banned in the European Union except for Sweden, and it has seen a recent increase in popularity in North America due to tobacco consumers switching for the sake of harm reduction.

*For the sake of simplicity, only American-market snus are included in the lists below.*

Zyn

Zyn is a nicotine pouch product manufactured by Swedish Match. It is tobacco-free, but contains nicotine and is spit-free.

## History

Zyn was first released in a limited area in the western United States in 2016. It was available in about 4,000 retail stores in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. It is packaged in an innovative child-resistant round can.

Swedish Match released Zyn nationally in April of 2019, and added a 16,000 sq. ft. buildout to its manufacturing facility in Owensboro, KY to support production.

Vaping-related illnesses and controversies surrounding it have led to greater exposure and interest in nicotine pouch products like Zyn.

The Withering Heights

A dark, looming tower at the eastern edge of the Trepid Peaks. It is said to have housed a family of wicked necromancers.

### History

In the year 78, Morteus the Accursed began building a dark tower in the northern lands of Dray'cossia, hoping to escape the quickly rising housing prices in Harmony Harbor. He realized it could be used for nefarious purposes, and throughout his life would expand the tower to suit his new experiments and ungodly deeds.

The Four Calling Birds of the Tower would often refer to it as "Withering Heights" on their excursions through the country, giving rise to its current name in popular culture. Heroes could often be seen making the trek to the tower and challenging each of the Calling Birds, but would all eventually turn away in defeat.

In the 110's, an unnamed hero claimed he had finally defeated the necromancer Morteus. Since then, paranormal activity in the area has ceased.

### Trivia

* The waters of the river running through Withering Heights are often measured at temperatures below freezing, yet will not form ice when brought to a standstill.
* The wizard Penelope Ainsworth seems to have fond memories of it.
Levi Garrett

Levi Garrett is a brand of chewing tobacco made by the American Snuff Company.

### History

Levi Garrett was introduced in 1976 as a sweetened chewing tobacco. At the time, American Snuff Co. was named Conwood. It came after a resurgence in popularity for chewing tobacco in the late 1970s and early 1980s, after a previous long period of decline for the category throughout the 1900s from its peak in early American history. By 1981, Levi Garrett became the #2 brand of chewing tobacco in the nation, behind Red Man and ahead of third-place Beech-Nut.

Snuff

Snuff is a form of ground or pulverized tobacco leaves to create a fine powder that is then inhaled, or "snuffed" into the nose. It is often referred to as "dry snuff" or "nasal snuff" to distinguish it from "moist snuff" (aka dipping tobacco). Although historically popular in early American history, it is no longer widely available at brick-and-mortar tobacco retailers in the United States. It does, however, enjoy some limited popularity in European nations, such as England and Germany.

Snuff-taking dates back to the indigenous people of Brazil. It caught on in Europe as a luxury item in the 1600s. Many prominent English figures used snuff during the 18th century, and it continued its presence as an upper-class item.

Although early Americans shared the use of snuff with their European counterparts, by the early 1800s, snuff taking had begun to fall out of fashion for a couple of reasons. One, they began to reject the British formalities surrounding snuff taking, and two, the more mobile populations, many of which traveled Westward, had found a new method of using snuff, by using a twig to "dip" the snuff into their cheek. This is thought to be one of the precursors to modern-day Dipping tobacco. Today, a very small population of rural, and apparently, older women still take dry snuff in an oral fashion, almost all confined to the rural South.

*For the sake of simplicity, only American-made dry snuffs are included in the lists below.*

Nicotine Levels by Product

Nicotine content in smokeless tobacco differs from that of cigarettes. Furthermore, nicotine levels are not required to be disclosed to the consumer.

## History

In March of 1966, the FTC announced the Cambridge Filter Method to determine tar and nicotine yields in manufactured cigarettes. Three years later, these yields were required to be posted alongside advertisements. In 2008, the FTC rescinded its previous guidance, which had been standard for the last 40 years, due to consensus that the method was flawed and did not assist consumers. Thus, current nicotine numbers are not currently provided by manufacturers of cigarettes or smokeless tobacco, and are instead either out-of-date or are compiled by third-party testing.

In 1994, the first known ranking of smokeless tobacco nicotine levels was published in the Journal of the American Dental Association in a study financed by the University of Alabama - Birmingham. The study determined the nicotine content as a percentage of the product's dry weight. Analysts determined a content above 2% to be "high" and above 3% was considered "Very high".

* Skoal Long Cut Wintergreen - 3.35%
* Skoal Long Cut Straight - 3.33%
* Copenhagen Snuff - 3.2%
* average cigarette - 1.5-2.5%

The study also determined that although smokeless tobacco had more nicotine, the amount consumed per day by all tobacco consumers was consistent and ranged between 20 and 25 milligrams. Dr. Tomar also said that it was not possible to know the amount absorbed without knowing the product's pH. A product with a higher pH (more alkaline) increases the absorption through mucous tissues.

## 2006-2007 Rankings

Products on the market in 2006 and 2007 were analyzed by scientists at R.J. Reynolds to determine the amount of nicotine and free nicotine. Many factors affect the absorption, such as the form (fine cut, long cut, pouched, loose leaf, powdered snuff), but a large impact is the pH of the product. Nicotine cannot be absorbed in acidic environments; such is the reason nicotine isn't consumed in beverages, or in any way in which digestion is needed. Nicotine in the table below is rated by mg per g.

Camel Dissolvables

Camel Dissolvables were a product offered by the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company categorized as dissolvable tobacco.

## History

R.J. Reynolds began testing the brand in 2009. The original locations were Columbus, Indianapolis, and Portland, but the test markets were shifted to Charlotte and Denver in March 2011. It came in three variations, all which were spit-free and dissolved in the mouth:

* Orbs - 10-15 min. duration, 1.2 mg nicotine
* Sticks - 20-30 min. duration, 2.4 mg nicotine
* Strips - 2-3 min. duration, 1.3 mg nicotine
* Variety Pack

The products were priced similar to Camel Snus. The product lines were not without controversy and attention from the mainstream press; the shape and size of Orbs, similar to Tic-Tacs, was one of the assertions.

After five test markets spanning 4 and a half years, R.J. Reynolds decided to scale back marketing funding for dissolvables. By the end of 2013, R.J. Reynolds liquidated their inventory of Camel Dissolvables.

Six years later, R.J. Reynolds began offering a similar, non-tobacco dissolvable nicotine lozenge called Revel.

Revel (U.S. Smokeless)

Revel was a spitless, smokeless tobacco pouch offered by the U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company .

## History

The product was first announced in October 2001 in test markets in Topeka, Kansas and Youngstown, Ohio in two flavors: regular and mild. The test market would last 6 months. The product contained 20 pouches and was priced similar to cigarettes. The product was released as continued efforts to make smoking less socially acceptable were underway, and critics argued that such a product would prevent current smokers from attempting to quit.

The test market expanded to 228 Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas market 7-Eleven stores by January 2004, and then planned to increase to 500 Charlotte, NC stores by March 2004. With the expansion, Revel was available in mint and wintergreen flavors. It was one of a number of innovative products at the time, along with Star Scientific's Ariva and Stonewall dissolvable tobacco products. It was also not the only new release from U.S. Smokeless during 2001, as they had just recently extended existing product lines with Copenhagen Black, Rooster Wild Berry, and Red Seal Straight.

Rooster

Rooster Bold Wintergreen.

Rooster was a brand of dipping tobacco manufactured by the U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company. Reports on various online forums indicate it was introduced in 1988 and discontinued around 2009.

One slogan used by the company in mid-2000s advertisements was "The Bear Don't Compare", indicating it was likely competing with Grizzly from American Snuff Company.

Rooster also refers to a dry snuff brand also made by U.S. Smokeless Tobacco. It may or may not still be available; if so, distribution is likely very limited.

Travel Log: 1

Posted February 18, 2013 through May 21, 2013

## Synopsis

In the Cloverhouse, (year 2031), an older Armand sits, his face littered with scars, holding a piece of paper with a troubled expression. The ring of the Cloverbell signals a new guest has arrived and he tells them the Innkeeper is currently out.

The guest, who immediately holds signs of being supernatural, remarks on Armand's time-travel statics: his fast-lag recovery, lessened radiation exposure, and massive timeline generation rates. Sensing trouble, Armand tries to walk away, telling him he "already has a consultant" but he guest remarks he is of a different "bureaucracy" than the consultant are.

After passively threatening him by throwing his strange blowing orb that has enough physical mass to knock down wall decorations, the guest remarks that Armand's time travel contract has been suspended, thus he now falls under this visitor's jurisdiction. Aggravated, Armand asks if he's the "time police" as he'd never heard of such bureaucracy in the twelve years he's time traveled. The guest tells him to blame this on his consultant.

Once more trying to escape, Armand suggests the matter should be taken up with said-consultant instead and backs away, muttering that he caught him in the worse possible moment. The guest informs him he is seconds away from having "that fatal stroke" which freezes the former timetraveler in his tracks.

With a flash of inspiration, Armand asks the gust if he's "that grim reaper" and begs that he not die right now. When the guest responds with sarcasm, Armand brings up that if he *is* the guy he's thinking about, he owes him favor after Armand apparently helped him catch an "illegal immortal".

The guest, amused, agrees that he is required to check out this claim. He snaps his fingers and though Armand does collapses, his internal time is frozen so he is still alive. Though Armand initially refuses to leave with him as he's waiting for someone, the guest warns him that if they should separate, he would die immediately. With no choice, Armand agrees to help him check his claim but first ask him his name, the Guest states that he would not be able to say it, though does provide the last human name that a traveler gave him: Casimir Demort.

Casimir takes Armand onto his traveler's path and, now isolated, asks him to restate his case. Armand tries to recall the incident with the immortal and mentions they were on his own traveler's path just outside of the Cloverhouse, requesting they visit there. However, Casimir says they cannot reach that distance as it would require Armand's contract to be active which it currently is not.

Desperate, Armand suggests they try another hotel and brings up The Helen which can send them to direct coordinates. Not letting him say no, Armand rushes Casimir that way, mentioning how he knows the innkeeper and that the Helen was actually his first inn, though his visit was unintentional. He didn't even believe in time travel when he'd left home at age 17.

Armand begins to dictate the story of his first time traveling adventure.
