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.
