The U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company (formerly United States Tobacco Company) manufactures dipping tobacco. It is a subsidiary of UST Inc.
Its corporate headquarters is in Greenwich, Connecticut, and it maintains factories in Clarksville and Nashville, Tennessee, Franklin Park, Illinois, and Hopkinsville, Kentucky.
Cope and Skoal are the company's leading brands, and each represent more than USD$1 billion per year in retail sales. It also sells dip tobacco for people on budgets under the names Rooster, Red Seal, and Husky brands.
Skoal offers various flavors:
- Long Cut: Citrus Blend, Wintergreen, Mint, Spearmint, Straight, Cherry, Berry Blend, Apple Blend, Classic, Peach Blend, Vanilla Blend.
- Fine Cut: Wintergreen and Key(limited market).
- Bandits: Wintergreen, Mint.
- Pouches: Wintergreen, Mint, Apple Blend, Berry Blend, Citrus Blend.
Fine Cut has always been sold in cans. Long Cut was marketed in plastic cans until the early 2000s. Until recently, the corresponding colors would match the plastic base on Long Cut. All have been changed to black.
Skoal is one of the first moist tobacco manufactures to have created a product known as the "pouch", marketed as "Skoal Bandits". This product has a small amount of tobacco put in pouches made of a thin material, resembling a tiny tea bag.
Skoal and Cope both offer pouch products, containing approximately three times that of the Skoal Bandits.
