Kretek International, the exclusive importer of Denmark's Mac Baren pipe tobaccos, has announced the arrival in the U.S. market of Uncle Louie's Whisky and Uncle Louie's Rum flavored pipe tobacco. A recent addition to Mac Baren's pipe tobaccos, Uncle Louie's is named in honor of an adventurous 19th Century food and adult beverages connoisseur. Uncle Louie's combines sweet, aromatic Virginia, full-bodied Burley and Mac Baren's own blended Cavendish with the exquisite smoothness of two popular spirits.
Uncle Louie's Whisky is made with superior Single Malt whiskey from the Scottish highlands. This golden-colored whiskey is a family recipe that has been safeguarded for generations. Mild Jamaican rum is added to Uncle Louie's Rum, which gives this blend a sweet taste and pleasant aroma.
Uncle Louie's Whisky and Uncle Louie's Rum are packaged in 50-gram (1.5oz.) pouches (5 pouches per carton) and 3.5 oz. single round tins. Leaflets and point of sale sales support materials will be provided.
Suggested retail for the 50-gram pouches is $6 - 7.00 and $10 - 11 for the 3.5 oz. tins.
