The bad thing was all the prep that went into it. Washing, drying then turning those big leaf pieces into ribbons with scissors!

Gave me something to keep busy with in my down time
Dude, tried that in high school (back in 1918)
. Tasted like ass and almost killed me!Dipping the shit one time made me what I am today.Dude, tried that in high school (back in 1918)
That was my main and fav nic source for 40 yrs. woke up one day and said to myself........”self, holy shit you still have all your teeth at this point so you better quit while ur ahead”
I used to dip Cope but it would always give me a splitting headache at the end of the day. Plus it would never stay in one place. You’d go to spit and lose 1/4 of your snuff.
Cope wrangling control while it’s in your lip is a lost art form!
It’s like herding cats!
I guess I never learned ?
I used to have to add to what I had in my lip to replace what I accidentally spit out. I probably should’ve tried the long cut, but never did.
None of this sounds good to me. Maybe it's me.
I've wondered about Day's Work too but it is pretty moist to smoke I think...and I don't think it would really rub out.
Next time I see some I might buy a plug and see. If it doesn’t smoke I’ll chew it.
I tried smoking Day's Work. It didn't turn out well. It's too heavily cased to burn. I ended up rinsing it and drying it out. Washed all the flavor out, but it will smoke now.
I use snuff at work as it's quick and discrete. Got some Schmalzler in right now!
I think the urge just comes from the fact that a lot of plug tobaccos made for smoking are good either smoking or chewing, so why not the other way around? Add to that, if you enjoy chewing a tobacco that has the possibility of burning your mind naturally says, "I wonder how this would smoke?"
Dan Tobacco's Salty Dog's is a classic Navy style plug tobacco that can be used for both pipe smoking and used for chewing. This style plug was very popular with sailors during the tall sailing ship era. The plug is pocket sized and when the weather allowed sailors would cut off a slice, rub it out, and smoke it in their cutty pipes. In bad weather they would bite off a corner and enjoy it as a chewing tobacco. I smoke Salty Dogs in my pipe and I have a nephew who uses Salty Dogs plugs as chewing tobacco. He claims it gives a really good buzz compared to the US domestic chewing tobacco he has chewed.
I've been wanting to try Cotton Boll, but it's not deliverable where I live, because it's a "smokeless" tobacco. If they called it pipe tobacco, I could get it -- what sense is that?
That's one thing I like about plugs -- the historical use of them as just tobacco however you want to partake in it, and you could carry it in your pocket and not worry about the conditions it's being stored in. I'm quite fond of Salty Dogs, and never chewed, but now I'm tempted to give it a try just out of curiosity.
Nonsense. The language of any bureaucracy.
