Where to buy

Where to buy Copenhagen.

The best places to find Copenhagen in stores and online — with tips on price differences by channel.

Gas stations and convenience stores

About 90% of all dip and chewing tobacco sales happen here. Grizzly, Copenhagen, and Skoal are in virtually every convenience store and gas station that sells tobacco. Stoker's and Longhorn are less common — you may need to check a few stores, especially outside the South and Midwest. Expect to pay full retail price with no bulk discount.

Walmart

Walmart typically prices chewing tobacco $0.50–$1.50 below convenience stores, but variety is limited. Most locations carry Grizzly, Copenhagen, and Skoal — you probably won't find Stoker's, Longhorn, or loose-leaf brands on the shelf. All tobacco products are in a locked case; ask an associate for access. Not every Walmart carries tobacco at all (some locations have stopped selling it entirely).

Smoke shops and tobacco outlets

Dedicated smoke shops and tobacco outlets have the widest selection — if you're looking for Stoker's, Longhorn, Red Man, Levi Garrett, or Beech-Nut, this is your best bet. Staff are knowledgeable and can help you find specific cuts and flavors. Some shops offer loyalty programs or case discounts (buy 10 cans, get the 11th free). Prices are usually competitive with Walmart but can vary by shop.

Online retailers

Sites like Northerner and Smoker's Outlet carry the full range of chewing tobacco brands and are the best option for buying in bulk — roll pricing is often $2–$5 cheaper per roll versus buying individual cans in-store. Shipping costs offset some savings unless you order 5+ rolls at a time. Online orders require age verification at delivery (someone 21+ must sign) and ship to most states, though some states restrict or ban online tobacco shipments. Check your state's rules before ordering.

Regional availability notes

Copenhagen and Grizzly dominate the South and Midwest — between them they account for the majority of dip sales in those regions. Skoal has a stronger presence in the Northeast than elsewhere. Loose-leaf brands like Levi Garrett and Red Man are most popular in the South, where traditional chewing tobacco has deeper cultural roots. If you're looking for a specific brand in a less common region, call ahead.

Buyer's guide

Is Copenhagen right for you?

Honest advice on who Copenhagen is for — and who should look at a different brand.

You'll like Copenhagen if you want the strongest, most traditional dip experience and don't mind paying $3.75 more per can than budget brands like Longhorn. Copenhagen has been the standard for premium moist snuff since 1822 — the fine-cut original Snuff is the benchmark every other dip is measured against. If you dip Copenhagen, you're paying for heritage and consistency.

Copenhagen chewing tobacco — frequently asked questions

A can of Copenhagen costs $7.50 on average (1.2 oz) in 2026, with prices typically ranging from $6.00 to $9.00 depending on the retailer and location. At this level, Copenhagen sits in the premium tier of chewing tobacco brands. Copenhagen is manufactured by U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company (Altria). Copenhagen is a moist snuff (dip) brand — it is placed between the gum and lip, not chewed. Prices updated 2026.
A roll of Copenhagen (5 cans) costs approximately $37.50, based on the average individual can price of $7.50. Most retailers offer a modest discount ($1–$3 off) when purchasing a full roll versus 5 individual cans, so the actual roll price may be closer to $35.50–$37.50. A roll is sometimes also called a "log." Copenhagen sells $7.50 cans individually and in rolls of 5 at most convenience stores, gas stations, and smoke shops.
A log of Copenhagen is the same as a roll — 5 cans bundled together. At $7.50 per can, a log costs approximately $37.50. Some retailers may use the terms "log" and "roll" interchangeably, while others differentiate (a log is sometimes 10 cans). The 5-can roll is the standard for moist snuff brands including Copenhagen. As a snuff product, Copenhagen follows the same roll/log convention as other moist snuff brands.
Copenhagen is sold at 7-Eleven, Circle K, Casey's, Shell, BP, Mobil, Speedway, Walmart, Walgreens, and independent smoke shops across the United States. Convenience stores and gas stations are the most common place to find Copenhagen — look behind the counter. Online retailers including Northerner and Smoker's Outlet carry Copenhagen with bulk/roll pricing, though shipping requires adult signature verification at delivery. As a premium brand, Copenhagen may not be stocked at every discount retailer — call ahead to confirm availability. Prices at gas stations typically run $0.50–$1.50 above the listed average due to convenience markup.
Levi Garrett is $0.50 cheaper per can than Copenhagen. Levi Garrett costs $7.00/can compared to $7.50/can for Copenhagen. That $0.50 difference adds up to $183 annually for a can-a-day user.
