Red Man Loose Leaf

[mercvrivs]

Just picked up a pouch at the store. Anyone else enjoy this stuff? It's very tasty and a nice change of pace. It's made by Pinkerton so I believe it has low TSNAs (I hope so!). Of course, I prefer snus, but I recommend this if you want to try something different.

I've had it.

The Golden Blend is a wee bit better, and has a touch more nic. What I buy when I buy Redman.

It is a bit too sweet for me. I also find myself confused when I'm done and ready to get rid of it. If I'm not near a trash can it can be weird.

It works up a ton of juice and spit.

I like having a big wad in my cheek every now and then.

I like it as a nice treat from time to time. It's too sweet for me most of the time, but on occasion it's nice.

I prefer Levi Garrett for leaf chew. It's a bit sweeter I think, and has less burn.

Yeah the Golden Blend is the one I'm doing. I didn't realize there was a different one. I'll try the Levi sometime since you recommend it Il.

Anyone know if there is a natural flavored leaf tobacco? Something like Copenhagen? I would be down to try that.

[mercvrivs]

I'm going to try the Silver Leaf since I hate having added sugar in my tobacco.

But its still sweetened.

I used to chew quite a bit in my teens especially when I played baseball cuz it was the "cool" thing to do. Ya know cuz the pros chewed. Golden Blend was my main chew, but Beechnut makes a wintergreen that's kinda nice. I don't know of any chew that's not sweetened...as far as I know most companies use mollases to sweeten their product. Most of the plug tobaccos especially the ones ib clear wrappers have more of a straight tobacco taste. The best, if they still make them, are Apple Jack and Oliver Twist...hardly any sweeteners at all!

I had an Amish made chew once that had very little sugar. It was honey cured, and I have no idea if they still make it. It tasted like a barn floor :^D I'll stick with Levi Garrett for my rare forays into leaf chew :^)

Now that I think about it, if u can find it, Oliver Twist would prob be a nice alternative for snusers. It comes in a small cylindrical twist that u place in your lip instead of chewing. It's produced in Denmark and imported by RBJ. You can prob find it online.

Friend of mine ordered some OT. I tried one and it quickly reminded me of Red Man/Levi Garret chewing tobacco. It was a nice change up but they were too small for my tastes.

I love Oliver Twist "Original." If you use it like snus, it's about as strong as a mini (very mild and very discreet), but if you start chewing it feels stronger than a Skruf Stark, and when you spit it out you can actually see the leaves - they expand in your mouth and look like tea leaves. The drawback is that the leaves may stick between your teeth. It's not as conspicuous as los snus, though.
