Zig-Zag® is the #1 premium and overall rolling paper brand in
the U.S., with significant distribution in Canada as well. Zig-Zag® is also the #1 MYO cigar wrap brand in the
U.S., as measured by MSAi. We acquired North American rolling papers distribution rights for Zig-Zag® in 1997.
More importantly, we own the Zig-Zag® tobacco trademark in the U.S. which we leverage for our MYO cigar wraps
product. Approximately 50% of our total 2021 Zig-Zag® branded net sales are under our own Zig-Zag® marks rather than those we license from under the Distribution and Licensing Agreements described below.
|
•
|
Stoker’s® is among the fastest growing MST brands in the
industry and is the #1 loose leaf chewing tobacco brand. We manufacture Stoker’s® MST using only 100% American
Leaf, utilizing a proprietary process to produce what we believe is a superior product.2
|
•
|
In 2009, we extended the Zig-Zag® tobacco brand into the MYO
cigar wraps market and captured a 50% market share within the first two years. We are now the market share leader for MYO cigar wraps with approximately a 56% share of the cigar wraps category and 78% of the share of the HTL cigar wraps
sub-category. 1 We believe our success was driven by the Zig-Zag® tobacco branding, which we feel is widely understood by consumers to represent a favorable, customizable experience ideally suited to MYO products. In late 2021, we extended our Zig-Zag® MYO cigar wraps offering with entries into the growing hemp wraps and natural leaf wraps markets.
|
•
|
We extended the Zig-Zag® brand into hemp rolling papers in
2018 and followed that with the launch of paper cones in 2019 with both products quickly establishing leading positions in their respective categories.
|
•
|
We leveraged the proud legacy and value of the Stoker’s® brand
to introduce a 12 oz. MST tub, a size that was not offered by any other market participant at the time of introduction. Stoker’s® MST has been among the fastest growing moist snuff brands in the industry in terms of pounds sold. While competitors have since introduced larger format tub packaging, the early entry and differentiation of the Stoker’s® product have firmly established us as the market leader with over 50% of the Tub market
as of 2021. In 2015, we introduced Stoker’s® MST in 1.2 oz. cans to further expand retail
penetration, particularly in convenience stores.
|
•
|
VaporBeast quickly established itself as a leading marketer and distributor of liquid vapor products to the non-traditional retail universe. With its national footprint, VaporBeast is
leveraging its regional consumer preference insights to further accelerate sales advances.
|
•
|
In 2019, the IVG acquisition, and specifically the VaporFi B2C marketing engine, offered us the opportunity to leverage the marketing competencies and processes to sell novel
proprietary products across multiple channels and platforms.
|
•
|
In 2019, the Solace acquisition provided us with a leading line of liquids and a powerful new product development platform.
|
•
|
In 2019, we introduced Zig-Zag® paper cones into the market
and have grown it into one of the top brands in the category.
|
•
|
In 2021, the acquisition of the Unitabac assets provided a platform to re-introduce the Zig-Zag® brand into a large and growing cigarillo market.
|
•
|
In 2022, we will be entering the lighter market through an exclusive distribution agreement for CLIPPER® lighters in the United States and Canada.
