Chewing Tobacco UK

I’ve got a real hankering for some Red Man chew. I had some many years ago but I can’t remember where I got it, either The Northerner or a trade from a pipe forum I used to be on. Does anyone know where I can get some, or would be willing to trade / help me get some?

Thanks :+1:

Stoker’s chewing tobacco can be procured from some German online stores.

Stoker’s Butternut is highly recommended. Stoker’s 24C is their attempt at Red Man, which has now been renamed “America’s Best”.

Thanks. Do you have any experience with any particular store?

Looks like shipping costs might be the barrier here.

Like these folks have said; Stoker’s. The current Levi Garrett leaf is good too if it’s available. Red Man does not exist, Americas Best Chew is the new name and it’s a new recipe. It’s anise dominant with a thin casing and at least 3 big stems in every chaw.

I believe the Red Man recipe can be found over at wholeleaftobacco.com. Which also happens to be a great place to source the leaf to make it. It is a very easy process.

I haven’t ordered from this store.

€19.90 shipping! The good times are truly over.

I might have to settle for some British twist… :nauseated_face:

Meh, not so bad, chew it and then let it dry and stick it in a pipe like the 19th century miners did.

Not a bad spot for oral and smoking products , but their snuff is a nightmare so I’ve never ordered from them .

Since you put it that way; any medium to dark pressed German pipe tobacco with a casing would be a good chaw. There’s an odd German-American (American Dutch) pipe smoking custom where you cheek what’s left in your fingers and light the bole.
