New at NACS 2015: Tobacco (Slideshow)

In vape shops, sub ohm and temperature controlled tank have been all the rage in 2015. Global Tobacco is trying to bring that kind of technology to the c-store channel with products like the X20 Kronos, a sub ohm mod (suggested retail $99.99) and three-in-one tank ($53.99).

Mistic E-Cigs also featured its own new sub ohm tank. The Haus Craft Collection vaporizer and high quality e-liquids will expand in early 2016.

Altria-owned NuMark LLC. recently expanded its MarkTen line with MarkTen XL (boasting twice the liquid and battery life of its predecessor) and two additional flavors: Fusion and Winter Mint.

Analysts like Nik Modi of RBC Capital Markets have cautioned that vapor technology hasn’t quite replicated the smoking experience yet. NJOY promises its new NJOY Daily disposable electronic cigarette closes that gap, thanks to former Big Pharma scientists who have worked on the technology.

Logic—newly acquired by JTI—showcased flavor extensions to both its electronic cigarette and Logic Pro systems. Besides tobacco and menthol, Logic will now offer cherry and vanilla flavors.

Kretek also showcased a new flavor for its Djarum filtered cigars: Djarum Black, a menthol and clove flavored cigar.

Premier Manufacturing responded to c-store requests for smaller packaging of its 1839 Pipe Tobacco, launching a 1oz bag option.

Similarly, National Tobacco launched a can option for its Stocker’s smokeless tobacco in response to retailer and consumer demand.

After acquiring Drew Estates, Swisher is offering c-store friendly sizes and packaging for the company’s premium Acid Cigar line.

Recognizing that retailers are extremely limited on space, companies like CB Distributors developed smaller, cleaner merchandising solutions, like this vape counter display with just four liquids, one starter kit and one replacement tank.
