Hi,
Anyone here tried the new Copenhagen Straight Long Cut dip?
I'm working my way to quitting dip generally, but I might try something new, if it interests me, and this has a slight interest to me, to warrant a can to try. I'm thinking of getting one this weekend.
I'm not a fan of the Straight flavored dip, though some were not too bad(Grizzly).
Anyone here had this? Comments?
I'll post mine when I get it.
OK, I went to the grocery today, and picked up a can. I didn't even look at the date till I got home, usually Copenhagen keeps their stuff fresh on the shelf, and this store is a pretty busy one, but still it says Sell By May 02, so, I guess we'll see. I'm going to eat lunch in a few and afterward I'll give it a go.
One noticable thing, is I think it's a very nice looking can design. I've been keeping my metal dip lids, and putting a magnet in them and putting them on the fridge, and this one will look nice.
It was $1.99 I thought, but the total was $2.11.
OK, I opened the can, it's quite moist, just right, the cut tobacco has a spongyness to it, and after putting in my mouth it retains that. The smell is decent, has that Straight smell, not overly sharp. Taste is not bad. But that's how Straights usually go with me, the initial thought is, hmm, not bad. Been a few minutes in now, and I'm feeling some nic. Going by memory this Straight seems more mellow than others I have had. I guess it has a slight sweetness, but it's really not apparent, but that's good. I still wanna quit dip, but this one is OK. As for trying to describe the Straight flavor or smell, this is really hard to do. It's unlike anything I can compare it to. Basically, I don't know what it is.
Now, one thing I have wondered, is what brand released the very 1st Straight flavored dip? I believe Skoal was the 1st wintergreen, and Copenhagen Snuff was the 1st natural.
Try adding a little water to it, Tom. That might help. I remember buying dip that was improperly stored (like on top of a cooler or something) and the moisture being off really wrecked it.
I guess if you don't like straight then it probably won't help very much. I was hoping to hear something good about it because I get a can of dip every month or two and wouldn't mind trying it. I haven't seen it around here either but I haven't looked very hard. Skoal was the first straight I tried and stuck with it for years. When it got wicked expensive I switched to Grizzly and finished dip with that one. I've had at least a can of a retarded amount of dip but I kept going back to Skoal or Grizzly Straight. I don't particularly like the Natural types but I do like Cope. It's delicious, and I thought that a more flavorful one would be even better.
The moisture level was fine, and I think for a Straight dip, it's not bad at all, it actually might be the best Straight I have had, it's just I am not a fan of the Straight flavor, but yeah, if you like the Straight flavor, get some, I think it was good as far as Straights go, I think I liked it more than Grizzly and Skoal.
Why am I even asking this ?....
Ok, so tell me. How does this compare to good o'le copenhagen snuff (As in the original most popular - fine cut). ?

I am starting to like this, I just stuck another dip in, 4 from this can so far. It's a long cut, really fluffy tobacco, well moist, juices and packs great.
It's not a "snuff" of natural flavor, it's Straight, so it will taste different than the regular Copen snuff. I find it very hard to describe the Straight flavor, it's kinda spicey, kinda smoky, I wanna say slightly sweet, but maybe not. I'm generally not a Straight fan, but this is good, and the can seems about half gone.
Well, I have had a sort love hate with the straight flavor. I always wated to like it, because I'm not really into the wintergreen, and mint, though I have some Grizzly wintergreen in now, and it's OK, but I'm still not a wintergreen fan, but I think I'll finish the can, and I haven't tried mint, so I guess someday I should try it. I did like Grizzly straight a bit, and Skoal straight was OK, but I don't think I liked Red Man straight, and Lonhorn straight made me wanna hurl. Of course really, I think all this is because I am still a noob to dip, and like snus, I guess my tastes will change, and some will grow on me. But after finished the Copen Straight, I may have changed my mind on this flavor, as I really liked it, which prompted me to get a roll.
I never got to try this, as I quit my casual dipping around the time "Cope" came out. Back then, there was Copenhagen snuff and Copenhagen long cut... and that's it. That's all they needed!
I'm tempted to pick a can up next time I go out just to give it a shot, but on the other hand, I really don't want to have to be constantly spitting again. I also have pretty bad luck finding fresh dip locally.
I bought a roll from Northener. In Canada I pay close to $15 a tin, and that's on a Native reserve for one can, So a whole roll for under $30 was a no brainer. I assumed it was going to be like the snuff. I was wrong, that's what I get for not doing my research. However, it was worth it. My only straight flavor was Skoal. At first I thought the Copenhagen was bland. After a few dips I was enjoying it much more than the Skoal, which now to my recollection was too sweet.
