Favorite Chew

[cumminsnbabes]

I am a Copenhagen junkie, nothing else will do. And it has to be snuff, long cut and bourbon black just don't satisify my craving. When I first started I chewed every breed of Skoal and occasionally Redman. Now the only thing I can stand is Cope. The last time I bought a can(actually 2) I got a free can of Grizzly wintergreen fine cut. It was DISGUSTING.



It's a nasty, disgusting, uncouth habit and I LOVE IT Theres no point in trying to quit now, I've already tried. I can't describe the feeling of being without. Chris LeDoux's song Copenhagen Junkie is the only thing that even comes close to describing how I feel about my addiction.



Anyway, feel free to voice your opinions on what your favorite chew is.





Fresh Cope, It Satisifies

I dipped snuff a while when I was younger. Swallowed too much one time and got sick. Now I can't even stand the smell of it. I don't chew either, but I will partake in some every now and then. Usually just some Redman.

 

[cumminsnbabes]

I like Redman every once in a while because it has a good flavor. i cant chew it on a consistent basis because it just isn't powerful enough.



I swallow on a regular basis just because it wouldn't be discreet to spit.

Yah ya, brother, can you say Hallelujah?

Hooked on that stuff, Cope, for 13 years, 18 - 35. Tried to quit a number of times and what a JOKE



Then lo and behold, when I was making a full fledged effort to get my life right with GOD, I asked for prayer and GOD delivered me -- cold turkey with no withdrawals



Heck, it was almost as good as the deliverance of th demoniac of Gedarenes -- at least to me :-laf



Todos los gentes dice "Gloria Dios" verdad?

 

[cumminsnbabes]

Ol'TrailDog,



Why did you want to quit? Did you feel that chewing was a sin?

 

[RankRam]

Copenhagen snuff for me! Oo.





Also I'm gonna quit tommorrow. :-laf

I started at age 7 with Union Workman side chew. Went to Skoal all through High school and finally went with Cope in my Air Force days and up until January of 05, I too quit cold turkey and really dont miss it... . well sometimes, but I dont crave for it very often. Oh, by the way I am only 39 Yr old. I figured chewing for 30 years was long enough to do one thing.

Redman Golden blend is the ****. Otherwise Levi plug

i aint never had redman golden or select what do they taste like i cant seem to find them around here

 

[HEMI®Dart]

Copenhagen here too. I don't like anything else.



I am going to quit real soon. I dread the day when a sore in my mouth won't heal. Then it's too late. I wish I had never started.





I even ordered 5 cans of this tobacco free mint snuff:

Quit 8 years ago and still miss it once or twice a month. I was a Copenhagen person and if I was out Skoal would do. Even tried a can or two of the Cherry Skoal. Most of the time it was cope in one side, Redman chew on the other. What a great mix!

 

[LRotter]

Dear lord, I don't know how you guys chew Copenhagen. That's got to be the nastiest tasting chew there is. I started at 13 with Skoal and Kodiak. Went to full time Kodiak all through high school and college. I quit for about a year and for some reason, started again about 2 years ago. Now I just chew Timberwolf, simply because it's cheap. It's not bad and I don't think it eats your gums away like the Kodi-bear does. Nasty habit though. One of these days I'll quit for good... ... ... ... .....



P. S. Anybody ever mixed Redman and Big League Chew Bubble Gum 50/50? It's pretty damn good.

 

[GIT-R-DONE]

Hope I dont fall off the WAGON here... ... .

I started on Wintergreen Skoal. Quit after 3 years. Started back on Mint Skoal. Quit after a little while. Started back on Copenhagen (YUMMY). Quit after about 10 more years. 2 years later started back, but Cope was WAY to high and Skoal had lost its luster. Someone turned me on to Timberwolf Natural and I haven't turned back since. Forgot to mention was a 2-3 pack a day smoker for many of those years. Darn tobacco has a real hold on me. I don't smoke now. Quit it totally the last time I quit chewing. Still crave it after every meal and when someone initially lights up a Marlboro with a Zippo. Mind starts :-{} with wanting to pick one up, until I get the second whif of it. All done. Hope we all kick the habit and save our money for more BOMBS!

Copey for me since I was 15. Every now and then some WB Cut is good. (oh thats 20 years now) Cant stand anything wintergreen or mint..... heartburn city. Top it off with a Black and Mild cigar and a Busch light and all is good.

 

[cumminsnbabes]

LRotter,



See the end of my first post.

 

[HEMI®Dart]

Darn tobacco has a real hold on me.

Me too. I took a puff off of a cigarette 25 years ago. Never tried it again.

Copehagen is unbelieveably tough to give up. I have a dip in most of the day. probably 80% of the time I aint sleeping.



I am putting a pinch in right now.



How much are you guys paying for a tin of Cope? Me: $4. 16

3. 02 where i get it

Cumminsnbabes asked:

Why did you want to quit? Did you feel that chewing was a sin?

Actually, it was the following scriptures in Galatians that convicted me of my "affections and lusts". Now understand this is between just me and God, so let's leave well enough be, please.



"23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. "



Moreover, I tried quiting many times and failed only one less. Heck, once upon a time, I even bet a Mohawk hair cut, my mutton chops, mustache, a case of Schmidts "Animal beer", and my EYEBROWS that I wouldn't chew for the sumer. Figured since I was going back into Big Prairie it was a sure bet. We got back in and opened the station. I found an old dried out half can of Cope in the dry storage. Snuck that sucker to the bunkhouse for after work enjoyment. After work I beelined for the bunkhouse and popped the top on that little gem... ... ... . heck, all I could think about is Hog asking me in the fall if I had made it... . and I knew I could lie to him. So I quit for the summer, but I drank pots of strong coffee and "snuffed" cigarettes on occasion... but I didn't "chew". As soon as I hit Spotted Bear I thought I better give it a dip... just to see what ... . didn't miss a beat from then on.



Use to toss that stuff out the window or FLOOOSHHH down the toilet... only to beat feet for the 7-11. $4. 16 it was cheap back in the olden days. Then there was the time I was rocking a new house in Helena and emptied the can in the garage drain block-out (slab was not poured yet). That's where us construction folks took a whiz since the plumbing wasn't functional yet. Yep, you guessed it, wasn't long before the sick disgusting "pup" was rooting around for an "uncontaminated" dip... ... but I suppose that more than your really wanted to know. And that's why I'm so happy that I'm FREE--hallelujah
