@Hamlet I am going to try his cell a couple times tomorrow and see if I can get a list of what they still produce. If Lorillard is on a drop list, I will start storing it @Mike_B I used the website for my questions and like you, no response as yet
@MattheFox: I’m particularly curious if they still make maccoboy, checkerberry, starr and three thistle (as they’re the ones I like the best but they’re very difficult to find).
@Mike_B Mistersnuff.com sells all those except maccoboy, i dont know if its any help.
I left him my cell # and asked what dry snuff are still in production. Hope he leave me a message. I also just sent him a text
I just got this email this morning & copy & pasted it below. Here is the proof that they designed the snuff for oral use but now say that it can be used as nasal snuff as well. Also the list of dry snuff that they still produce. I am going to buy up as much Lorillard as possible since it is not on the list 
They also use the word (some) but that is bebause they produce snuff for other companies as well. Enjoy: Mr. Leishear, Thank you for taking the time to write to us about our dry snuff.

Well technically it says they market it for oral use, which is absolutely correct. However, the “design” was made before the oldest guy at the company’s great-great grandmother was born. Sure the sweeten ones were added later, some as late as the 30s (which was only 80 years ago #-o ) but they are just simple scotch snuffs at their core. Checkerberry, I think though, was a borrowed concept from the moist snuff department. I’m not sure how old that one is or what its history is.
I have a history portion of them somewhere in here. Wil have to find it. I thought that Checkerberry was one of the last snuffs developed in the 50’s or 60’s
Seems so. 1953. That makes sense, as by then they were clearly trying to tap into the moist snuff market and I don’t think Helme was making anything that bore any resemblance to those before that. Maccoboy of course goes back much earlier, but like scotch was borrowed from nasal tradition.
As I have stated in many threads… I share information that I collect with this community. That is my goal and hope everyone might help collect some information
Michele (Swisher) said that they still make Lorillard sweet (I am happy) She said she didn’t include it in the list because I mentioned that I still use it (assuming that I knew it was still in production) - See more at: http://snuffhouse.org/discussion/7483/list-of-swisher-snuffs-that-are-still-produced#latest
So Patrick Dummer just sent me a text saying they have all flavors and asked what ones I couldn’t find. I just text’d him back saying that I was looking for information on snuff that may not be produced anymore like: Lorillard (plain) Lorillard (maccoboy) Railroad Mills (plain) Three Thistles (strong) Three Thistles (sweet) Starr I am sure most are still at distribution centers but the question is “Are they still being produced?” Which I don’t know if he would know. I’ll share his response when he sends it. Took him over a day to answer the first text (laughing) I emailed this same information to Michele
OK, I hadn’t heard from Michele so I called Swisher International and They said she didn’t exist at least at their office. So I talked with a gentleman who gave me his email: smfleck@swisher.com When I started asking him about what snuffs are still being produced, he said that they still make some that are not on the website and that if one of your snuffs is not found to ask your store or vendor to see if it is still available. I talked to him for about 15 minutes and got him to say that Lorillard (plain) he couldn’t find information on But they still make a Railroad (maccoboy) Wouldn’t commit to saying that Railroad Mills (plain) was out of production but kept suggesting Square or Superior as a substitute That is the end of this investigation and I the phone number is (904) 353-4311 if anyone else wants to try. He did try to start off by saying the same thing as Mr. Dummer that all were available but that is not the truth.
I’m not seeing Three Thistles Strong on that list, I sure hope they’re still making it its my favourite Scotch!
@n9inchnails I probably could have pushed him for more but dude, it is a long distance phone call and I was thinking of myself. He did say that the catalog did still show one of my favorites Lorillard Sweet. The only thing that I can tell you is if its not on the site, email, text the number for Dummer or call and ask to speak to someone regarding Dry Snuff
I got this from Swisher… $15.00 in coupons for bugging the crap out of them (laughing)
I got an email from Michele and she said that all the snuffs on my list (above) are available except Lorillard (plain) but said a Lorillard Maccoboy was around. I don’t know if it’s just catalog information on stock laying in warehouses or a catalog of stock they intend on producing. I am confused and done. Plan on storing the snuffs I like the best and play the wait and see game with the rest
I’d be amazed if Lorillard Maccoboy is still around. No one on this site has turned it up except on ebay. I think it was discontinued in the 1980s. Its a good snuff, and signifcantly different from Railroad Mills Maccoboy. I’d probably prefer it if I had some fresh.
@MrSnuff: I’m not sure if you’ve been following this thread, but I’m sure there’d be many grateful customers if you were to track down the apparently still available Lorillard Maccoboy snuff.
