Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, tobacco became the largest yielding crop of the Americas. Until 1883 tobacco excise taxes accounted for one third of internal revenue collected by the United States government. The largest concentration of tobacco farming and cultivation has always been in the southeastern region of the U.S, due to the sub-tropical climate and moderate rainfall. These climatic factors have allowed southern tobacco farmers to develop the sweetest and most flavorful and full bodied blends of tobacco in the world.
The Southern Smokeless Tobacco Company is part of a southern heritage that has provided the world with the finest tobacco cuts for over 200 years. Southern Smokeless uses only the finest tobaccos in all our premium blended products. Stemming from generations of fine tobacco farming we combine our commitment to quality with our admiration for the southern tobacco farmer to provide adult tobacco consumers with the finest moist smokeless products that the south has to offer.
Our Company
We are a manufacturer of premium quality moist snuff products. Based out of Statesboro, Georgia, we are part of a corporate network that has experienced an average growth rate of 87% annually for the past five years. Through our involvement in the pipe tobacco market with our parent company, and as part of a strong community of southern tobacco farmers, we have attained over 30 years of invaluable experience in the industry. After evaluating the growth patterns of the smokeless tobacco industry over the past decade, we concluded that there was a definite lack of variety and innovation in the moist snuff market. Southern Smokeless aims to provide smokeless tobacco consumers with premium products that rival and exceed the quality of those currently on the market. Each of our product lines contains only the finest cuts of southern grown tobacco in order to provide the same delivery as established brands, while at the same time containing 65% less carcinogens. Our philosophy is simple: Quality over quantity.
