The American Snuff Company, formerly Conwood Sales Company LLC,[2] is a US tobacco manufacturing company that makes a variety of smokeless tobacco products, including dipping tobacco or moist snuff, chewing tobacco in the forms of loose-leaf, plug, and twist, and dry snuff.[3][4]

Originally established as "Conwood LLC" in 1900 in New York City, the company began manufacturing smokeless tobacco products in 1904 in Tennessee.[1] From 1986 to 2006, Conwood was owned by the Pritzker family of Chicago. The company is currently a subsidiary of Reynolds American, after being acquired in mid-2006 for $3.5 billion in cash. When Reynolds American acquired Conwood, Reynolds subsidiary Lane Limited was merged into it. The name "American Snuff Company" was assumed in 2010.

Nowadays the company has three facilities, two in Tennessee (Memphis and Clarksville) and the other in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.[1][5] As of 2017, American Snuff generated nearly 7% of Reynolds American's annual revenue.[6] The current President of American Snuff Company is Chris Gemmell.
