An interesting one. I have not been a rope or twist smoker, never chewed tobacco in all my years, but a spirit of adventure overcame me in the first days of the new year.
Stage one was to take the fairly dry, been on the shelf a while twist and cut a slice from it with my Buck 110. I stuck it between cheek and gum as if born to it; there it stayed for a good 90 minutes while I went out and about grocery shopping. No, I didn't keel over from nicotine, in fact I was quite content and managed my chores admirably, not feeling the cold too much etc. Enjoyed the cherry / blackberry and cigar-like flavors, very pleasant.
Some time later, I cut a piece more and rubbed it out, stuffed it into the meer bowl on the Falcon - which is a tad ghosted from Island Mixture, but the fruit flavor from that complemented the twist. One match and I was on my way, gently puffing to the end. It's actually quite mild, no bite, good nic hit and a nice change from the previous smokes in this bowl.
I see some pretty negative reviews of this one but they're quite undeserved. This is nice tobacco, chewed or smoked, and I didn't find myself making excuses for it. I will repeat and enjoy a chew in bed later, seems ideal for that when a pipe is impractical. I think other reviewers should grow a pair, tbh.
