What is Black Buffalo?

Black Buffalo is the world’s only smokeless tobacco alternative that delivers the same experience as traditional smokeless products, just without any tobacco leaf or stem – the taste, the texture, the rich dark color and, yeah, the nicotine. Explore our tobacco alternative long cut and pouches products here.

What’s in Black Buffalo and how is it made?

Trade secret, but we'll say this: we found a way to make a specific variety of edible green leaves behave like tobacco with added food-safe ingredients and pharmaceutical-grade nicotine. Sounds easy, but it took us 5+ years and 20,000+ hours of R&D. Check out this blog post for more info on how Black Buffalo makes the world’s best tobacco alternative long cut and pouches.

How does Black Buffalo compare to traditional smokeless products?

We mean it when we say “Everything You Love, Nothing You Don’t”. It’s the closest thing to real dip you’ve ever seen, just without the actual tobacco leaf or stem. Our founding team dipped for a combined 50+ years before charging ahead with Black Buffalo. It took us years to perfect the process of creating a satisfying tobacco alternative that has the same taste, texture, and nicotine as traditional smokeless products. Compare our available products with your favorite flavors of long cut at pouches here.

Is Black Buffalo harmful or cancer-causing?

The FDA limits our ability to make any "harm reduction" or "modified risk" claims without extensive testing that can take years and cost millions of dollars. However, here's what we can say: Black Buffalo has no tobacco leaf, no tobacco stem, and we don't fire-cure or ferment our leaves. When tobacco is fire-cured and fermented in traditional dip, it leads to the formation of tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We encourage you to read up on TSNAs and PAHs, their levels in traditional smokeless tobacco products, and their effects on the human body. After you do, you'll be in a much better position to make up your mind on the relative safety of Black Buffalo. To reiterate: Black Buffalo does not contain any tobacco leaf or stem and we don't fire-cure or ferment our leaves.

Does Black Buffalo contain nicotine or tobacco?

Nicotine: hell yes. Tobacco: nope. Black Buffalo contains tobacco-derived nicotine in our tobacco alternative long cut and pouches, but no actual tobacco leaf or stem. Our tobacco alternative dip products contain the same nicotine content as traditional smokeless brands.

Does Black Buffalo have a nicotine-free version?

Yes, we offer tobacco-free, nicotine-free dip with our Black Buffalo ZERO products. You can check them out here https://blackbuffalo.com/collections/zero.

Does Black Buffalo offer other forms/flavors like Fine Cut, Natural, Peach Pouches, etc.?

Everything we have available is currently offered on our website. If we have plans to bring anything else back in stock, we'll make a ton of announcements here and across social media. Be sure to follow us at @blackbuffaloinc for all updates.

Why’s it called Black Buffalo?

Because the African cape buffalo is badass. Check out this blog post for further explanation.
