I was looking at Swishers home page and found 'the Swisher name includes Three Thistle, Checkerberry, Ladies Choice, Ralph's, Dixie, High Toast, Lorillard, Starr, Strawberry, Superior, and Wild Cherry.'
I know we have talked about the Strawberry and Wild Cherry. Has anyone seen or tried the others.

That's the one that really got me interested also. I signed up for their mailing list, hopefully I will get more info from that.

I emailed them some a story about my grandfather using a certain kind of their snuff and got the reply:

I just picked a random brand and asked where I could find it, as the other posts recommended naming one. I would definitely be interested in trying all of their offerings, but the stores that do carry snuff near me only carry Conwood and US Smokeless brands. I think that they offer the snuff to as a courtesy anymore, Swisher is probably making enough to keep the Navy afloat on their cigars alone. I wish I could find more of the Conwood products near me too, their H.B. Scott Private Blend loose leaf is great, tastes just like Honey Bee smells.

I know swishers Kayak moist snuff is growing pretty fast in popularity. I think it has to do with the price. Its extremely cheap. I have not tried it so I can't say how it tastes.

Hey deficiency, Try dipping the Honey Bee, its pretty good.

I live on the East Coast as well as Mountain Man haven't been able to find Thistle, Checkerberry, Ladies Choice, Ralph's, Dixie, High Toast, Lorillard, Starr, or Strawberry anywhere and would love to try them....I'm trying to collect all the Helme/Swisher snuffs...So if anyone knows where to get some hit me up!!!

I would have figured that NC and Virginia would be a Mecca for snuffers. That's the heartland of tobacco.I just happened to be there in the days immediately after I quit smoking, and it was terrible. I was in Raleigh and Winston-Salem in march, and the big debate on the news was whether or not high schools should be smoke free :P In my imagination I see ashtrays everywhere from grade schools to doctor's offices, maybe just my altered state at the time ;)

Yes smoking and chewing/dipping is very big, snuff not so much. Easy to find some of the more typical brands, Tube Rose, Square, Superior, Navy...but don't know of anyone who sniffs it, I think around here and in Virginia (I used to live in the mountains there) the older folk pretty much use this stuff as a dip.

This was my return e-mail from Swisher......posted today: 11-19-07/ a.m.

Mo, anymore word on where to pick up the high toast?

Okay, talked the sales rep. for the northwest corner here in Georgia and he said that they are pretty much in limited production for certain pocket areas of the Country were sales of the top 20 brands for consumers are in demand.(The ones we are inquiring about fall below the top 20, hence no products available for purchase, at least in my neck of the woods) They can be purchased in bulk packs/cartons which have 12 pocket cans in each. He sounded as if we could maybe work a small purchase deal (without getting into tax code violations and the such as provisioned for tobacco and its sale and licensing and blah blah blah). But the best deal would be if we could get our favorite on-line Tobacconist to make the purchase for legality sake.(He did mention a couple outlets near me that have a good variety of Swisher snuffs for sale and said to check them out)

I'll drop Mike a line and see if he would order a case or two. There are 12 in a case. How many of you are interested in trying this if He can get it.

Alright I dropped him a line. We'll have to wait now on an answer! After all our searching, it will probably end up tasting just like the Railroad Mills. LOL

chas, even the ones like me who have been snuffing for years are still learning new things. Its a never ending learning experience & thats half the fun!

@Troutstroker

I really got into smoking my pipe but when I first started, I determined VERY quickly that I prefered aromatics to English blends (which is saying something as I am a proud Anglophile!) and refined my tastes quickly. I feel that I sort of missed out on alot of the magic that comes with discovering something that I really enjoyed.

I digress.......

I find with snuff that my interests and tastes are much broader. This has made the whole experience really fun and has become somewhat of a hobby! Not only that, but it has become a hobby that is helping me drop cigarettes whereas my pipe has not been an effective substitute as much as it has been just a pleasureable way of taking in tobacco. If I can change my tobacco consumption to include snuff and pipe tobacco only, I will be a happy (not to mention healthier) man!

@Yaz

Thanks man, I really appreciate the offer! That would be really cool. I really wanted to try F&T HDT but I wasn't sure I wanted to buy it in bulk right away. Lets exchange information via whisper.

I will place an order for a can as well. Still have'nt popped by the local outlets yet, but I highly doubt High Toast will be on the shelve.
