I don't recommend this at all. Almost all chewing tobacco is very moist and loaded with sweeteners. Some of the plug types like Days Work could be suitable but it hardly seems worth the effort when so very many fine pipe tobacco blends are available.
Can you guys see a picture or link that I cannot? What is the tobacco?
I smoke a few chewing/pipe tobaccos crossovers, twists especially. The old style of twist is what most men, way back in the day smoked. Cotton Boll is one that I love. Better than the GH&co stuff, in my opinion, because it's straight rustica and Kentucky. Stout, but with a really clean, nice tobacco taste, smokes cool, with no bite at all. If you like cigars, I would recommend it. Most of the GH&co offerings have sweeteners added, but even in those, I really like the Coconut Twist.
I would just avoid things with wintergreen, ha ha.

I remember my Grandfather used to. He would buy a pressed block called Big Chief or something like that. It was very dry and you needed a knife to cut a piece of it off. He would slice some off and rub it out to smoke it when he had his pipe with him. When he didn't have his pipe, he would cut a section off and chew it. On the tobacco wrapper, it actually said for chewing or smoking. I guess it wasn't to bad, he did it for most of his life..
You can smoke 'Cotton Ball Twist' but the rest of the stuff on the market is loaded with too many sweetness and will be too moist to smoke.
Regular chewing tobacco such as Red Man in my opinion is much too strong to be smoked in a pipe.The one time I tried it was more than enough for me.
Cotton Boll, but anyway... chewing tobacco was just pipe tobacco that the Irish coal miners would chew. Twists, plugs, this is all where flakes came from. But, if you're talking Red man or Beechnut Chew, nah, I'd avoid it. But, if you want a smoke that has some serious nicotine, these old timey twists smoke smooth and bite free. Not an all day smoke, at least not for me, but it's a great way to end the day, especially with friends and a strong cup of coffee.
A fellow forum member sent me this - http://www.lilbrown.com/p-9335-cotton-boll-plug-12ct.aspx and, I am going to ask if The Briary can get this in, because being that they put chewing tobacco on the label, Alabama won't let them mail it to me.

I wouldn't put chewing tobacco in my mouth let a lone in my pipe. I'd think it wouldn't be a great idea anyways, because it's so moist and finely cut.
My dad shared a chaw or two with me when I was ten or eleven, and that served as effective aversion therapy. It set my mouth afire and my stomach cramping, and made me turn a gray-green. I enjoy some of the full strength pipe tobaccos, but I don't think I'll smoke any chaw. I had a friend at work, Ph.D. geneticist who grew up in Oklahoma, who loved his chewing tobacco and took walks with a paper cup for the residue. Don't know why he wouldn't just spit outdoors, but that's what he did. I think chewing tobacco is as addictive as cigarettes or maybe more so.
It is, ahpui, but I think some are thinking of commercial Red Man and things like that when they hear "chewing" tobacco. They aren't thinking in terms of ropes and plugs being used in various ways.
