(Boone, North Carolina) Depends brand and where you buy it from, 4 places where you can buy it from where i Live: gas stations, walmart, grocery stores and privately ran tobacco shops. I dip Copenhagen Wintergreen long cut it’s about $15 for 5 can roll (before state tax which is 6.76% to the dollar) sometimes you can buy singles at $2.50 a can. I used to dip Grizzly wintergreen long cut used to be the cheapest about 3 years ago (was $2-$2.50 a can even in rolls) but now Copenhagen wintergreen long cut is, out of the 2 anyways. Redman probably the cheapest along with long horn. Skoal wintergreen, straight and any them special flavors between $3.50-$5 a can. Still not sure why Copenhagen straight long cut costs about $4 a can. Copenhagen wintergreen pouches (packs i think they are called) is $3.50 a can. I’m thinking about switching to fine cut because I’d like to try it see if I like it, i don’t know the price of it yet. All these prices I’ve called out are from the privately ran tobacco stores, we have 3 with the same owner. His stores probably cheapest in my area, walmart probably 2nd then gas stations 3rd and grocery stores 4th. I feel fairly lucky compared rest of you guys. Now cigarettes is off the charts I quit smoking in 2015, switched to dip. Cigarettes prices are steep here, I was smoking cheapest brand i could find and stand smoking. $56 20 pack carton counting tax and even at the privately ran tobacco shops and that was 6 years ago, probably much higher now. Prices was the main reason I quit smoking then ofcoarse I had personal goals that helped me along like breathing better lol. Now I don’t chew but from what I heard from what my uncle said, most chewing tobacco is about $8-$12 a pouch here brand dependent. Starts costing me $4+ a can I’ll have to quit dip to because i live on $14,000 a year i have more important things to pay for.

I can get a 5 ct roll in the St. Louis area for about $26.
Never be afraid to ask for a discount on a roll. Ask nicely and you would be surprised what could happen
