[Gameness]

Tell me about it. I've only had long or extra long cut.

I've heard cope snuff has the best taste...never tried it though :-)

The snuff does taste really good. I really want to know how Copenhagen straight is, I don't even know if shops in Ontario have it.

The long cut straight is pretty good, although take that with a grain of salt as I am new to dip and that was my first one ever.

I had 2 rolls of the stuff, I don't dislike the taste but if you're a newbie to cope snuff it's hard to keep it packed...

it's very salty too

cope snuff is awesome put takes practice to use it. copenhagen long cut is similar in flavour but easier to pinch and use. I don't like cope straight it is too sweet.

Basically, what I believe happened...Chuck Norris took a look at Long Cut, decided it just wasn't fantastic enough...grated it against his epic beard of manliness, added the salt of a thousand oceans, slammed his fist down to pack it tight, and saw this new dip was finally "up to snuff"...Hence, Copenhagen Snuff.

Or some dude at USSTC thought it was a good idea one day. One of the two...first story is more credible.

Copenhagen snuff was the first Copenhagen product, produced in 1822 by Weymans Copenhagen Company, later changed to USSTC

I actually just picked up snuff today. I want to try it, but people say it is hard to use. (I dip upper decker, because I snus, so hopefully it is easy for me to use)

I use a spoon to put it in place when used in the bottom lip. The cut is similar to snus, but you can't really bake it well...a bit too dry. Regardless, its good stuff, I get a can once in a while.

Wait....what?

this is a new one to me........could you elaborate

[dquinn104]

Yeah...i just take a teaspoon and scoop some out, pull out the bottom lip, and dump it in. Best way to use fine cut dip IMO.

I can only put an upper Decker of dip in if it is long cut and it has been packed good in my bottom lip before I put it up there.....I don't suggest this with snuff, you're probably going to have a very bad time, and you might feel extremely queasy and get projectile puke if you let grains slide to the back of your throat. Luckily that was not a personal experience, but a funny/gross thing to watch when I convinced my buddy who had just started dipping to try a fine cut [emoji38]

It's the pinnacle of what other snuff companies try to recreate. What most people don't know is that the tobacco it is not cut, but milled, just like snus. Except the particle size is a little bit bigger than snus. Snus is like a super fine powder when the tobacco is still dry. Copenhagen is a little bit bigger than that. Which is why it's hard to keep packed for an amateur, much like Los.

Copenhagen Snuff and Long Cut are basically the same thing, minus the tobacco size. The Long Cut has a little more vibrant ammonia smell upon opening the can. Both are crazy salty, but just regular sodium chloride. The top flavor is a mix of natural and artificial rose flavors/extracts. Moisture levels are actually HIGHER than most snus. Their target moisture level, i believe is 60% moisture, but because of the poor sealing ability of a wax-lined cardboard can and metal lid, the moisture drops pretty quickly, which is why when you open the can there are very deep fissures. When you get even an old can of Copenhagen, it will still be 56+% moisture. Usually they are 57-58% when we test them. Most los snus moisture levels are 53% to 56% when they are right off the packing lines.

The tobacco used to make Copenhagen is aged for about 4 years prior to being fermented and flavored and put in the can. Most other companies don't have the ability to age quite that long, which is one of the reasons why nothing else tastes exactly like Copenhagen, or really even that close to Copenhagen. But there is a price to aging...more nitrosamines and mycotoxins due to microbial activity.

Copenhagen Straight (and every other "Straight") is flavored with a much different top flavor called Ethyl Salicylate, which, chemically speaking, is a very close cousin to methyl salicylate (aka Wintergreen). Most people either love it or hate it, with not much in between. Straights are always sweetened, whereas Naturals like Copenhagen and Cope Long Cut, are not.
