Yes. I typically order from SP in small quantities because even when it's stopped and charged by customs it's still cheaper. I visit the local B&Ms and buy an expensive tin once or twice a year because I like to browse in person, and they have harder to get stuff like Samuel Gawith.
Ouch. I remember when I first started buying tobacco. A 10 can sleeve of Kodiak was $12, a carton of Marlboros was just under $11, and a tub of Carter Hall was $15. Man how times have changed.

Never did buy an entire roll or log of snuff, but I do miss those days when they were available and not over regulated. For me and my friends (in the late 70s and Early 80's...and no I'm not old I was in high school) it was Hawken, Skoal and Copenhagen in cans, Levi Garret, Beechnut, Chattanooga Chew, and Redman in bags. The good old days...can't get the bags of tobacco in Massachusetts anymore.

Grizzly Wintergreen, or get the hell out. Those cans come in rolls. My wife dips pouches, they are for the ladies. Haha

I dont know, but sleeve sounds right. Not all tins are round, they can't be a roll.
Grizzly Dark. I take the dentures out for smokeless. Long and fine cut don't stay in long without teeth.?

How is the Grizzly Dark? Usually buy a can of dip to take to a ballgame (when there are any) and Grizzly straight was a usual choice. What makes it dark? Extra fire-cured?

Yea I like the dark too. I wonder what makes it different?

Im just kidding about the pouches being for ladies.. my wife dips them so i make that joke. I use them too when I know Im going to be trapped without spitting, like a couple months ago when I was at the hospital.

I know this is off topic shit, but man thats crazy. In Ga I can buy bags of "Big Duke", not a huge fan of the name, for 1.99. Pretty good stuff. Its made by the same people who make Redman. You know they do mail stuff.. I prefer Levi Garett, but what do I look like paying 6 bucks for chew.. a millionaire? Haha

Finally found a place locally that still sells Redman plugs.
