Cherry is good, but I never used the Strawberry or Dixie much. I recall that there was a user named @AANYCARDS who had found some Maccoboy in Atlanta–maybe he can direct you to a store. I think there must be a wholesaler in that area who has a bit of a stockpile.
Went ahead and ordered Cherry, Strawberry and Dixie from Mr Snuff … that elusive Checkerberry however remains on the watchlist …
@MrSnuff has been treatening to get a new supplier for American Scotches for a while :-/ Wild Cherry is a nice one (Actuall has a nice cherry scent with a hint of chocolate; I’m not a fan of Strawberry or Dixie personally, but they seem popular for dipping use. Checkerberry is not really like a typical scotch at all, seemingly out there on it’s own.
I did find an old old looking upopened can on ebay … on the fence if I want to get it or not before it is gone …
I think I’ve got a tub of Checkerberry with a few pinches out of it that I bought maybe 3 years ago; if you want it @The_HP pm me your address and I’ll send it to you (if I can find it).
@Mouse that would be awesome . Is there anything you are looking for in the Scotch lines that I may have locally?
Hmmm… First off - thanks again to @Mouse for hooking me up with the Checkerberry can. How to describe? Hmmm… I have seen “Pepto Bismal”-ish descriptions - and I think that is fair . Which may be telling because that made me want to try it more - to me Pepto taste like my favorite child hood candy - Canada Mints - a chalky , oddly minty candy I would get at the Rite Aide in 2 for $1 bags. I *think* it is probably faded from when fresh - the scent is more like a suggestion than anything pronounced - but I do like it. I think finding some fresh to seal up in vac bags might be a goal in the near future.
@The_HP - Bi Lo grocery stores carry Checkerberry snuff here in Charleston.
I’m pretty sure they had at least a few of the other varieties you were looking for too. I’ll look and see. If you have a Bi Lo near by, it might be worth checking out.

The closest one to my home ( by their website ) is 88.3 miles away , just over the SC line.
Could that elusive scent be a faded Wintergreen? It’s been so long since I had any I’m having trouble with my olfactory memory.
It reminded me of A-535 sore muscle liniment.
Yep… Wintergreen is is!
The taste and scent is Teaberry like Beamans Gum ! Clark’s also made Teaberry gum ! Big in the 50s.
Every once in a while I’ll run across Teaberry gum in dollar store or some out of way place and snatch it up!
For fellow members that may have an interest in Checkerberry, I may have some news.
I recently wrote to Swisher International as I understand that Checkerberry was a Helme/RR Mills product. They responded that since my local grocer carries Swisher snuffs already, I need only have them order it for me. So, tomorrow, I am going to see the manager of the store and see if he or she can order it. If I can get them to order, I will offer to buy a case. If I can get a case, I will be happy to share with fellow snuff takers.
Guys, i will do what I can. Maybe the fact that I have cleaned out their supply of Superior snuff will sway them to place the order
They are probably more likely to order it for you, especially since you are willing to buy a case.
