Anyone like Skoal Rich Tobacco Blend?

Does anyone here like Skoal Rich Tobacco Blend? I found the name to be some what deceiving. I thought it would be a sweet Tobacco taste. Nope. It's fruity. To me its not to bad. But its definitely going to be a every now and then dip.

Never had it.....but even when I dipped I never found myself drawn to skoal.

One thing you might try is Stokers........one tub of fine cut + one tub of long cut and mix them together..........then fill a can from the tubs as needs be.......one secret, you will need to hydrate it each individual can you pack.....the bulk comes a bit dry on purpose (helps it to keep longer).

good to know dog, just ordered a tub of stokers last week to try as a change. No dry dip for me!

Thanks snusdog! I actually have a tub in the fridge now. Well about a half tub. Stokers long cut Wintergreen. It's got a nice sweet Wintergreen flavor. Seems like it may be low on nicotine. It just doesn't give me much of a hit, but it is still very tasty.

I will hydrate it up to almost snus moisture (not quite that high but close) and then let it sit in the fridge over night. I also pack it down pretty firmly in the can as a go (layer 1, hydrate, pack, layer 2 hydrate, pack, etc until the can is full) I also find mixing long and fine cut provides a nice variety of surface area thus it is easier on the gums.

One last point: the salt content is pretty high (again close to snus level) thus if it irritates your gums, you need to hydrate it a bit more.

Never had the wintergreen but the nicotine in the natural seems on par with Copenhagen and etc.
