Make Your Own Cigar Wraps

Introduced in 2009, Zig-Zag® MYO Cigar Wraps quickly became the category leader. Made in the Dominican Republic, a country with a rich cigar tradition, Zig-Zag® MYO Cigar Wraps allow consumers to make their own smooth smoking, flavorful cigars.

Other Products

In 2010, Zig-Zag® entered the non-tipped cigarillo cigar market. Made in the Dominican Republic with a premium blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos and great tasting flavors, Zig-Zag® Cigarillos provide a rich, satisfying and smooth smoke in a broad array of taste offerings.

Zig-Zag® also markets other ancillary products like rolling trays, rollers, apparel and other accessories.

Stoker's

The Stoker’s® brand has a proud heritage dating to 1940. Stoker’s competes in the chewing tobacco segment, where it has grown to the #2 position, and in the moist snuff segment, where it remains one of the fastest-growing brands. The portfolio also includes Beech-Nut®, launched in 1897, and a diverse collection of other chewing tobacco brands that offer a variety of consumer choices and tastes.

MOIST SNUFF

Leveraging its big bag chewing tobacco heritage, Stoker’s® innovatively expanded a value-oriented 12 oz. moist snuff tub in 2008. Behind the “A Great Dip at a Fair Price” positioning and unique product offering, the Stoker’s tub has grown faster than the overall moist snuff category since introduction. Coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the Stoker’s brand, we began expanding a 1.2 oz. format nationally to broaden our moist snuff distribution
