The Master List of RYO Tobacco Brands in the U.S.
Note: The latest updated list can be found on the new website ryoRevolution.com The Manufacturers & Brands listed here were taken primarily from State MSA Compliance listings and other sources (see Links). I've tried to list every available RYO tobacco variety within each MSA Compliant Brand Family. Also, if the company manufactures cigarettes, those brands (but not the varieties) are listed in italics. The brands listed here may not be MSA Compliant in Your State (therefore considered to be contraband), consult your State Attorneys General Office to determine the status of brands you intend to purchase. NAAG maintains a master list of State AG offices with links to their websites. Hope you find this info useful, all comments are welcome.

I know it doesn't look all that impressive but believe me, I have spent hundreds of hours compiling this information, formatting the data into the comprehensive yet easily understood listings that you see here, and verifying the accuracy against dozens of state MSA directories and other sources, a few of which are listed below.

You are of course allowed to download a copy of this page to your personal computer and/or print it out for your own PERSONAL USE ONLY, as long as it remains complete and unmodified, including this notice and the copyright information below. If you would like to include any or all of this information on your website, reproduce, publish, or redistribute it by any means for personal or commercial use YOU MUST FIRST CONTACT THE AUTHOR at the eMail address listed below to obtain permission and reproduction rights. Thank you for respecting the effort that went into creating this document, I hope you find it useful and informative.

The only other non-state specific lists of this nature that I'm aware of are those published by NAAG (see link below) and the TMA Compliance Database and related Reports, available from The Tobacco Information Service which apparently requires membership to the organization to access, at a cost of $1500 to $3000 per year.
