Dippers Unite!!

colinb913 · 04-06-2010, 08:57 PM

Well, I searched and searched for dip, dippers, snuffers, and didn't find a smokeless tobacco thread. I am just starting up because its a bit easier to use then having a 6" stick of tobaccy sticking out of my face when playing basketball, or mowing the grass.

Go ahead and discuss your favorite tobaccos and what not.. What do you think is a good tobacco flavor to start with? I am thinking about wintergreen.. Any tips before I start? What are you suckin on?

There are a few guys on here I know dip regularly... I enjoy it occationally. When I want fruity flavored, it's Skoal Apple or Vanilla, rarely Peach. For non-fruity it's Kodiak, Cope, or sometimes Grizz. Redseal makes a nice cheaper dip if you are a tin-a-dayer.

On a funny note, my buddy and I got his 16 yr old sister to dip with us one time (Skoal Vanilla)- she insisted on long cut!

The look on here spaced out face after a minute or so was PRICELESS

I chewed Copenhagen for the better part of twelve years mixed in with a bit of Skoal Straight. Started on Redman then went to Kodiak before I found Copenhagen. For me it was the most addictive tobacco substance out there. I quit (after many many failed attempts) when my gums had receded so much I could almost see the root and the sores were more frequent. Not pleasant to hear about but that's my story about dip. I'd stick to cigars if I were you

I keep one tin of Skoal that is probably a year old. I use it on long airplane flights. It usually disgusts my fellow passangers and pisses off the stewardess. But I don't care. I need my nicotene on long flights.

colinb913 · 04-06-2010, 09:17 PM

Doc- I wont be doing it alot, just when a cigar isnt a good idea..

G G · 04-06-2010, 09:25 PM

Been dipping primarily wintergreen for 30 years or so. Right now it's Stokers wintergreen longcut.

RightAJ · 04-06-2010, 09:30 PM

I usually dip longcut as I have found the fine cut too sand-like... I've heard there is a midcut out there, but who makes it? Any difference? JW

I chew Redman, gold blend. I have tried several others, but this is my favorite.

I dip my cookies.

In milk.

Thats the only dipping I do.

Only place I used to chew was when playing hockey, and then it was RedMan. After USA Hockey banned smokeless tobacco on the behch for adult players, there was no need anymore...I just fire up a cigar after the game.

That's what Crystal Meth is for.

Been dipping Copenhagen for almost 35 years.

PitDog · 04-07-2010, 08:43 AM

Copenhagen for 25 years or so but it started ripping up my gums and lips so now it's Skoal Classic Long Cut. I prefer unflavored but if I have a can that's a little dry I have been known to re-moisten with a little Jack Daniels.

Same here Mac, about 35 years of dipping and chewing scrap.
Sometimes I chew two cans a day. For instance, those two cans of Alaska Copey you gave me, gone in 24 hours. It was awesome.

I generally chew Longhorn Fine Cut because with as much as I chew I can afford it. Lately I've been chewing Red Seal Long Cut cause it's almost free with coupons, and it sucks so I don't chew as much.
But when I don't chew as much, I smoke three or four cigars a day.
If Tom can turn me on to a way I can freebase my nicotine, I'll be smoking it from a meth pipe in no time. I don't even think my body can operate without nicotine. I'd hate to try it.

You've been dipping since you were 7??

I tried redman at 7 yrs old and about lost my lunch. Didn't try anything again till I was 15, and again about lost my lunch (Kentucky Farm twists are wicked).

At 18 I did Copenhagen for a good while. It always passed the time on the away sports trips. I loved it when they came out with Copenhagen long cut and I dipped that for a while. But lately I have been doing the occasional Swedish Snus. No need for a spit cup, and it just feels cleaner.

Yep...and all because my mother said "I had better not catch you chewing tobacco". Being the "little hellion" that I was...I had to try it and got hooked very early. I started on Wintergreen Beachnut and moved right into Skoal/Copenhagen. That and all my friends were doing it...so it was "cool". Pennsylvania way I suppose.
