Taboka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taboka is a tobacco product produced by Philip Morris released in July 2006. It is currently only available in the Indianapolis, Indiana area. Philip Morris is currently testing adult acceptance of the product before distributing nation wide.
Taboka is a new type of tobacco product, while smokeless, it is not really chewing tobacco. Taboka comes in a patented container called a Slidepak(tm). These packs contain 12 "Tobaccopaks". These are small tea bag type pouches (similar to Skoal Bandits(tm)) that keep the ingredients from moving freely around in the mouth. Philip Morris promotes their use as a smoke-free, spit-free way to enjoy tobacco anywhere, anytime.
