Kodiak is a brand of dipping tobacco manufactured by American Snuff Company, a U.S. smokeless tobacco manufacturer that also produces the Grizzly tobacco and Levi Garrett brands.〔(Company Profile for RAI ), ''Reuters''〕 Introduced in 1981, Kodiak is currently available in three flavours: ''Wintergreen'', ''Mint (formerly Ice)'', and ''Straight'', each featuring a picture of a Kodiak bear on the top label.〔(Conwood Products: Moist Premium )〕 Kodiak recently introduced pouches, which hold the moist snuff in a tea-bag like pouch, preventing it from spreading around the mouth and keeping it out of the teeth. The Kodiak Wintergreen variety is a strong brand of dipping tobacco. It is a basic mixture with high nicotine content and a pH as high as 8.35.〔(Determination of Nicotine, pH, and Moisture Content of Six U.S. Commercial Moist Snuff Products—Florida, January–February 1999: Highlights ), ''Centers for Disease Control and Prevention''〕 It has high levels of deprotonated nicotine, "the chemical form... that is most readily absorbed through the mouth into the bloodstream," when compared amongst other brands.〔 Kodiak Sponsored many NASCAR teams from the late 1980s to 2001. Levi Garett sponsored some races too. Notable drivers who drove for Kodiak/Levi Garett are Rusty Wallace, Ricky Rudd, Ken Schrader, Ricky Craven, Steve Grissom, and Stacy Compton. Kodiak was the 1989 NASCAR Cup Championship winning sponsor with Rusty Wallace in the 27 Blue Max Racing. The snuff company also sponsored Hendrick Motorsports, Larry Hedrick Motorsports, and Melling Racing. ==Flavors== * Kodiak Mint Long Cut * Kodiak Straight Long Cut * Kodiak Wintergreen Long Cut and Pouches 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kodiak tobacco」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
