22nd Century Group Inc (XXII)

[sons4]

Have you ever heard of a company called Santa Fe Natural Tobacco?

If no why not? Maybe their website is not good enough or their marketing plan is poor, hmmm let's take a look!

They have been in business 30 years selling natural additive free cigarettes.

They were actually bought out by RJ Reynolds and now an sub of the company.

Some of XXII's management came from Santa Fe and others from RJ Reynolds!

There is a market for any cigarette and this management team has a average of 30 years worth of experience in this industry. Hmmmm, should we trust them???

I've smoke for thirty years and never heard of this company or seen their cigarettes in the stores, but guess what, people have been buying their cigarettes for 30 years. Plus not the best website out there imo :) Just had their 30th anniversary!


This company is nothing compared to what XXII is building!

Founded in 1982, SFNTC was just a little niche natural tobacco company for many years. But in the early 2000s, our unique philosophy and business model caught the attention of major players in the tobacco industry.

At first, we were apprehensive about associating ourselves with what was often called "Big Tobacco" and the perceived bureaucracy that comes with it. We were concerned that the acquisition might mean losing control of all we had built from the ground up. And most importantly, losing sight of the company vision that had brought us to such a pivotal and milestone moment.

Fortunately, these worries were soon put to rest. Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company has been able to continue doing things our way, and we have support in growing our company and furthering our many environmental initiatives.

Reynolds American Inc., a publicly traded company and member of the S&P 500 and, later, the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, became the parent company of Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company in 2002.

On our 30th anniversary in 2012, because of our continued growth, Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company became big enough to be a reportable business segment for Reynolds American.

Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company continues to manufacture and market its Natural American Spirit 100 percent additive-free tobacco products, with headquarters in Santa Fe, N.M. and manufacturing in Oxford, N.C.

Reynolds American Inc.
