Does anyone have a recommendation on a place I could call that carries this twist that might ship it to me? I'm interested in getting ahold of it, but it's not carried here in Nevada, at least not that I've seen.

It's a very old-school-style rope/twist of whole leaves sold as a chewing tobacco. I think it's "big" in Appalachia?
I don't know much about it - it was in the box pass box and I liked it quite a bit. I don't chew often, necessarily, but found it much more agreeable than a Red Man or similar, as those are much too sweet and heavily cased for me.

Tom this old thread has several sources of Twist. I recommend Cotton Bole for one.

Dan (Woodsroad) likes to say, Google is your friend. Here's a source I just found. You are a braver man than me. I haven't been able to try ANY chew since I was dared as a 10 year old.

I DID actually find that site, but it's a wholesaler - not a retailer, so it doesn't do me any good.
'sides, I don't believe that's the same product, as "sweetened" doesn't make an appearance on the package I'm looking for (though it is, mildly).

Cotton Bole for the win! It's a favorite of mine on nights when I know nothing else will put me to sleep. I haven't found a blend stronger, ever, and it taste really good, IMO, if you like strong rich earthy tobacco flavor.
It's fairly common here in Louisville ky.
Tom, again, shoot me a pm if you want and I can price some for you.

Glad you found a hookup for what you were looking for! Man, it's weird how regional distribution works. Carter Hall is on the shelf in several stores around here, but I've heard forum members say they have never seen it on a shelf. Conversely, I've never seen Granger or Five Brothers in the wild. ???
All of those twists and plugs like Mammoth Cave, Cotton Boll, Days Work, Cannonball,etc are common around these parts
Appalachia is weird about their "exports." There are a LOT of products that are household names in PA, for example, that no one outside of that bubble has ever heard of.
Oh, no. No guilt here. Sliced, crisped in a skillet and topped with syrup. There is nothing better.
