When the Pinkerton Tobacco Company started packaging America's Best Chew, John W. Pinkerton had sample pouches pulled daily from the production lines and taken to his desk, to ensure that the quality, flavor and freshness was worthy of the label “America’s Best Chew”. If the chew failed his tests, it was never packaged for sale—and the entire batch was destroyed.

Today, America's Best Chew is the best-selling chewing tobacco in the world, following the same high standards for quality that Mr. Pinkerton established over 100 years ago.

Every hour, samples of our tobacco are pulled from our current production lines and tested to make sure it meets approval for quality, flavor and freshness.

Mr. Pinkerton’s determination and drive to make “America’s Best Chew” guides our work today. If our tobacco isn’t the best, it’s never packaged for sale. The promise made by Mr. Pinkerton over a century ago still stands strong—

With America's Best Chew, it’s fresh or your money back.
