Smoking Chewing Tobacco?

[--dante--]

None of this sounds good to me. Maybe it's me.

You like Picayune, so you're okay with strength, and I know you like burley. I bet you could slice and rub out some Cotton Boll and maybe enjoy it. Far as I know it's just a strong burley rope. If I can get my hands on one, I'll let you know how it goes!

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.

Update: Definitely seems to work as a chew, but I don't chew, so it was nasty (not the taste, the experience, lol).

The G&H stuff you can chew and smoke. I haven't tried Salty Dogs but I think I'll give that a go this evening. I have always been a Levi Plug guy, Cannon Ball or King B twist if I can get my hands on the stuff. Bear of the Woods is pretty decent but I prefer twists to chew, although in NYC you get overrun with 'Karens' complaining about you spitting in the gutter.

yeah twists and braids where multi use. In fact you can grind them into snuff too and they work interestingly for that.

I’ve tried chewing some smoking tobacco, but not the reverse.
Not to derail the thread, but Days Work and Cannonball Plug seem almost impossible to find. Anyone know a source? The Google searches come up with wholesale bulk boxes or not in stock. I’d like to get my hands on a few plugs.

@anotherbob I have heard that and someone on the forum used to make their own snuff. They kindly sent me some and it was pretty amazing.

Hell I never even considered making my own snuff. Not that I really dip anymore anyway.

I’ve seen days work at Walmart of All places. But I’m in Az so it might be a regional thing.

I think he's talking about nasal snuff.. where I live every kind of dip is referred to as snuff, and nasal snuff here is dipped by old ladies.. My grandmother always had a dip of snuff... she used a spoon.

Yeah, I was thinking moist snuff. My wife had a great aunt that used to do that though.

I bet it would be an interesting project, to try to make something like Copenhagen.

I got a recipe for some that's gotten a few followers. It's sambac Jasmine with dark fired. Damn fine stuff, though I get Toque to make if for me.
