Cost & Quality

Grizzly is considered a value price tobacco, usually costing within $10 to $15 less than higher priced brands like Skoal. It also has a higher nicotine content compared to most brands. fix|link=Wikipedia:Contents|text=citation needed

Until the release of Grizzly Snuff, Copenhagen was the only milled cut (extremely fine cut) moist tobacco available. This gave Grizzly an appeal to what was an exclusive part of the market.

Since its introduction as a value brand it has struggled with the reputation as being a cheap, lower-quality alternative. However in recent years it has gained a large fan following and since then it has caused other rival brands to start making a lower cost alternative to the higher priced dips such as US Smokeless (makers of Copenhagen and Skoal).fix|link=Wikipedia:Contents|text=citation needed

Grizzly is a high-strength dip, and in 2004 was the 2nd best selling dip in the United States.fix|link=Wikipedia:Contents|text=citation neededThe most common misconception is that Grizzly contains fiberglass to cause abrasion to the lip, increasing nicotine intake. This is false, because adding fiberglass would cause irritation and swelling, actually decreasing the amount of nicotine intake to the bloodsteam.

The makers of Grizzly provide perks, when signed up for their mailing list, such as dollar-off coupons and gifts like calendars, drink coozies, pocket knives, keychains, and metal can lids.fix|link=Wikipedia:Contents|text=citation needed
