Just curious if anyone is still able to buy new bottles of RR Mills Maccoboy snuff. The last reference I could find to someone buying it locally was in 2014. Southern Georgia was the last place I’d heard of it being sold new.
People have very generously offered to share some of theirs with me, but I still have half a large bottle–it badly needs rehydrating though. I can make do with what I have, but I’d love to know if anyone still has access to new bottles.
Last time I was in my local Food Lion, I thought about asking for whoever puts in the Swisher orders, but decided I’d leave it alone. I’ll do this next time I’m in there, and see if I can find out who’s placing the orders and if they can get some of the rarer varieties in. I’d say don’t get your hopes up, as Swisher is notoriously ignorant of their own product lines, but it’s worth a shot. They do carry Railroad Mills Sweet at the store, so it it’s possible that it can be done.
This place in Georgia appears to sell it. I sent them a message to confirm and ask the price.
Will they ship to US residents of Washington? I’m probably thinking no. 
I haven’t heard back from them. As the photo was from 2014, it may be that they no longer stock it.
@MrBrooke I asked my local Food Lion manager about stocking Checkerberry. He said they use Hackney for tobacco products and that it would depend on if they could get it from Swisher. You are correct about Swisher. I have emailed them before and they are not helpful. Still, I suspect they have warehouses full of snuff they are unaware of. The link by Mike_B is all there is on Maccaboy. I found a tobacco wholesaler in Lowell, NC. As I recall, it is in Gaston county, just outside of Charlotte. According to reviews, anyone can walk in and buy. My guess is you pay tax then and there versus a retailer. Anyway, they stock a lot of snuffs, unfortunately, Maccaboy is not on the list. http://www.candbdistributors.com
I just checked the link and it called those little cans “pocket bottles”. Has anyone tried carrying them in his pocket? I’ve been afraid the plastic lid would pop off and I’d be left with a pocket full of stuff.
That has happened to me. I just pinched from what was in my pocket. I no longer put snuff from those type of cans in my pocket. The pocket can is the little 1 ounce can (about 30 grams).
I have carried them in my pocket, but not in my jeans. Usually in cargo pockets of pants or in coat pockets with no issues.
Could someone in the area call Blue Ridge Tobacco to see if they still carry Maccoboy? The only phone I have is from work, and they wouldn’t appreciate a long-distance charge to a GA tobacco wholesaler. Maybe we could pool resources on a case of 12 “pocket bottles” if they still have it.
I can call them. If need be, I can go to north Georgia for pickup.
I’d be down for a bottle or two of the RR maccaboy snuff if Blue Ridge has it.
@Psicko I hope they do, but I’m not going to get my hopes up. It’s 8AM now. I’ll call them at 9.
@Psicko, @JosephJames, yes the Maccaboy is good snuff! If it could still be gotten fresh I would love to go in on that. Well, good luck guys!
I called them. No direct retail. The helpful lady on the phone gave me the names and numbers of four retailers they deal with that I will contact. If all goes well, I will pick up a case.
So they still have some? That’s fantastic news! I would gladly buy at least 2 bottles. I suspect supply is very, very finite.
Thanks for making the call, @JosephJames
@JosephJames I hope it works out.
Do any of you Georgia boys know where to pick up a can of Starr in the north Ga area. I’m in Canton.
So I called the first place and no answer. I had to get to work so I will try later. She gave me numbers for 4 retailers.
@markmcsnuffin you might try MrSnuff. He usually has some American snuff we can’t find. I just ordered some scotches from him yesterday.
