About Beech-Nut
Beech-Nut is the premium loose-leaf chewing tobacco in the portfolio, ranked third among premium brands and seventh overall in the United States. It is one of the registered trademarks Turning Point Brands owns outright, and like the rest of its chewing tobacco it is made by Swedish Match, now a division of Philip Morris International, under an agreement that has run since 2008. With Stoker's and the smaller names it helps make the company the largest chewing-tobacco marketer at about 38 per cent.
