The company was best known for its Mail Pouch chewing tobacco, a popular chew advertised on more than 20,000 of barns, mostly in the rural Ohio River Valley. Each barn had an end or side painted with the familiar Mail Pouch lettering and advertising, "Treat yourself to the best." The brothers began manufacturing cigars in 1879 as a side-line to Samuel Bloch's wholesale grocery business. It was discovered that the left-over cigar clippings could be flavored and packaged in a paper bag, and then sold for chewing. The Bloch Brothers company was eventually purchased by the Swisher company, a maker of small cigars, which still makes Mail Pouch chewing tobacco as of this date (in 2015). | Credit line: West Virginia Collection within the Carol M.
