Cool papers on the old Garrett Snuff Mill, Lorillard Snuff Mill, and Helme Snuff Mill

Was researching and found a few cool documents which discuss the history of the old Garrett snuff mill, Lorillard's and Helme.

You can find them all here with a search for "snuff mill" : https://npgallery.nps.gov/SearchResults?search_param=all&allFields=snuff+mill&view=grid&allFieldsFormat=AllWords&PageSize=60&filters=default

What's interesting to me is this article mentions how Rappee, Irish and Maccoboy were soley made for oral use/dipping: 

" Rappee, Irish, and Maccoboy are three such, types. These

snuffs appeared solely for dipping in the early 19th century. The

original finely-milled snuff was dry, called Scotch snuff-- an

unflavored, unscented, powdered tobacco. "
