Dual Purpose Tobacco

I was wondering if there are any currently produced blends that you can smoke and chew? I was reading the history of plug tobacco and how sailors smoked or chewed it depending on their circumstances. Does anyone here have any experience with smoking and chewing a tobacco blend?

All of the rope tobacco.

I know some people top lip the sweeter VA flakes

 

[logs]

Some guys gnaw on flakes and plugs.

You guys don’t chew your tobacco before smoking it? Crap! Have I been doing this wrong?

Close....Chew it, crap it, smoke it!

I top lip a small piece va flake almost every day. Christmas Cheer is a sweet as some candy. FVF is sweet as well. You can really tell the different sugar levels of various flakes when you actually taste them.

I was told by my Father that 'back in the day' people chewed twist and then dropped it in their hat to dry out and then would smoke it later. A sort of two for the price of one deal.

Oh, my god, I feel my stomach reeling. I'm not as tough as you guys.

I find specific purpose products perform best. Back in the old days, I can see how multi purpose was necessary. Now, not so much.

dark twist is pretty interesting as a chew. It's not great that way but makes me think other tobaccos would work. I left my snus at home the other day and only had pipe tobacco I chewed the semios and it was actually pretty good after the first minute. Tasted horrid at first but after a while it had a mildly sweet molassas flavor that I was surprised by and it worked pretty well frankly.

I was told this same story by my father.

Maybe they knew each other.

I am grabbing some Salty Dogs this week and thought of this question specifically because of this plug. I am not a “chewer”, but wondered if any of our delicious pipe products are good “in the lip” and they are “in the pipe”.

That is pretty intense!
