Beech-nut Chewing Tobacco 12ct

Beech-nut is a premium chewing tobacco brand that has been around since 1897. The Beech-nut tobacco history
is part of what makes this brand such a popular chewing tobacco option. To this day, Beech-nut chewing tobacco
remains one of the best selling chewing tobacco brands. The company is named after Pierre Abraham Lorillard, who founded the company in 1760. In 1899, the American Tobacco Company organized a New Jersey corporation, called the Continental Tobacco Company, that took a controlling interest in many small tobacco companies. By 1910, James Buchanan Duke controlled Lorillard and the American Tobacco Company even as it kept its original name. In 1911, the U.S. Court of Appeals found the American Tobacco Company in restraint of trade, and issued a Dissolution Decree to the American Tobacco Company, which created the opportunity for Lorillard to become an independent company again. The same year they purchased the Murad brand. |
