@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.
Just left the grocery store. Manager had me write down the snuff, my name and number. Hopefully he can get it. I bought $60 worth of railroad and navy while in there
Nice
Never heard from Food Lion. I bought a can from MrSnuff. It arrived today and I have to say my first scent association was Skoal. It’s not bad. It’s not going to be a favorite for me, but it is a good snuff for wintergreen fans.
This snuff is so moist I might actually dry it out a bit. I got a new can around Jan 20, and it’s been my night time snuff. I have to use the flat end of my snuff spoon and shovel heaps into my nose, as it’s just too moist a snuff to pinch. Though with it being so moist it does pile very easily on the snuff spoon.
