That's good to know, because I find it next to impossible to keep lit, no matter how dry. Not sure I'll be able to stomach chewing it though, but I may give it a try.

There's a little twist tobacco called Oliver Twist that's made in Denmark. It comes in several different flavors, many with liquorice flavor, but the Golden is pure tobacco taste with a little molasses I think. In any case, they're very very good. I bought several to keep around.
Interesting. My dad used to chew Days Work and i actually have a plug i keep jarred for when i'm driving with my wife as she isn't a fan of my cigar smoke while trapped in the vehicle (i smoke mostly cigars while driving). I always find the experience quite nostalgic. When i got into pipes many years ago i'd let him smell all the various blends and he'd sometimes grab a pinch and dip it - attracted to the casing, no doubt. I have some xx and brown rope. Will have to give this a go, just for fun.
It must be a NC thing a plug of Cannon Ball, DaysOWork or Black Mariah and a can of dry snuff is something I keep on hand at all times
I found the xx twist an entirely different, and more enjoyable, experience chewed. Although "chewed" is the wrong word; I let a slice sit in my upper cheek, like snus. Delivers enough nicotine for me, and no spitting. The brown rope is noticeably stronger in the mouth.
Great idea, let’s make it a “What Are you Chewing/Snuffing” thread.
Great idea. I have a lip full of General Mackmyra!
Hey Mods, how about a “What Are You Chewing/Snuffing thread? It could include Snus, dry snuff, dip, and chew. Maybe under General Discussion or should it have its own thread?
Pretty please?
Pretty please?
I smoke a fair amount Black XX Twist and I don't seem to have issues keeping it alight. I find if you slice it very fine in 1/32' slices and let it sit out for about ten minutes it seems fine. Are you smoking fresh twist? I have all of mine jarred going back 15 years. The aging does not do much flavor wise but it helps the twist settle down and lose about 20% of the water content. Remember Black Twist has been basted with olive oil and then wrapped in brown paper and cooked in a heated press.
What are these “Other forums” you speak of ? There is only one forum and can be only one. Other forums best watch their head.
This is the only forum/social media that I am on. I’m guessing it’s this way for many others here. This might be why we discuss so much more than pipe tobacco here.
We have a cigar thread and there are other forums for cigars, so a chew/snuff thread isn’t that far off the mark.
This is not a good Pipe forum for new pipe smokers. Usually it descends into old guys saying, yeah I do it this way, any other way those people are idiots and losers. But do what works best for you
Can “Spittoon Acquisition Disorder” be far behind?
@Steddy: I could really see @kevin approving a 'What Are You Snorting Today' section on the forum - not! The Chew/Dry Snuff thing might fly although I am totally surprised as to how many on here chew as opposed to the Snuss stuff. I always thought it was restricted to people like Mr. Embers, myself and few other people from below the Mason-Dixon Line. Personally I would be very interested to see what everyone else is chewing and spitting all over the place.
So what is everyone chewing today? I have an open block of Bear of the Woods and some Mammoth Cave Twist. Any advances on that one?
