The Dip Thread

[myuserid]

Bought a can of Skoal Berry Blend Pouches last night.

I used to love those, and when I tried it last night, it was as good as I remember. I may try this in the Long Cut sometime.

I forgot how bad dip dries out my throat though.

That's so funny myuserid. I just opened a can of that in Long Cut last night. It's pretty good but I kinda get a little minty taste to it that I don't like. I had a dip of it this morning too and I'll probably do more later. I've never tried the pouches. Have you ever tried using them like snus? I've pt a dip up there once. I was sadistic enough to try it again but got the same result. I think my filtrum might have actually caught fire.

Tried as I could, I had a super heck of a time getting the Copenhagen Snuff to pinch and pack, so I picked up a can of the ELC yesterday, and mixed that one can with 2 cans of the Snuff(I bought 3 as a I had a coupon for 3), and now it's so much better, can easily pinch and pack it now.

I always preferrred the pouches just because otherwise, I would always end up with dip in my teeth.

I haven't tried to upper lip them, but I thought about it last night. The Skoal pouches are longer and fatter than snus portions, so it might be a tighter fit.

I don't dip very often, but I like to have a can or two in the fridge just to change things up a bit.

I was sitting here at work, and I guess I was craving some baccy, or maybe I was just bored, but I was thinking, being how I work alone 99% of the time, I could probably dip here, just as well as snus, or whatever. But I was thinking how loose cut dip might be a prob, as I always like to rinse my mouth out, and the spit often has parts in it, yeah, no biggie, and I am sure I could do it, but then I had the thought of pouches, and so I walked up to the corner gas station, and asked for a can of Grizzly Snuff Pouches. These are rather new item. I've never had them before. In fact, the only time I ever bought dip pouches was with the idea of upper lipping them, and at the time I was not used to, or been using dip at all, so I tried it a few times, upper lipped, but threw them out after a few.

Anyway, these Grizzly Snuff Pouches were only $1.64, not sure how old they are, they don't have the new can in. They didn't seem very moist, but it did moisten up quickly in my mouth, and does have a good taste. I have an empty soda can. Whew, I think I accidentally swallowed some.

Now the taste of the pouch is really good. I think a snus with a taste like this would be liked.

I've never had the Grizzly Snuff Pouches, but the Grizzly Wintergreen Pouches are good.

It may just be me, but Grizzly seems to be a little stronger than Skoal.

[tom502]

I'm not into wintergreen, the only 2 dip flavs I like(at this time) are the snuff/natural, and straight.

[myuserid]

I've had Straight before, but never Natural.

Is there a big difference in taste?

[tom502]

Yes, totally different. Natural/snuff is like a seasoned tobacco, salty/peppery, maybe a more natural sweetness, and straight is a more sweetish, smokey, spiceyness.

[myuserid]

Interesting.

I may have to try Natural.

So are these the 'natural' cause I'm tempted but don't want stuck with no wintergreen and for some reason when I think of "Grizzly" I only think of wintergreen... And are these less sweet than Copenhagen Straight LC?

[tom502]

Yes, they are like natural, they have a flavor similar to Copenhagen Snuff. I do prefer a loose cut, but for work, this isn't bad.

[tom502]

Oh, and it's easy to upper lip these too, if one wanted to.

Cool, Just signed up at MyGrizzly.com

BTW, you can print a one-time $1 for a tin in Pennsylvania (Maybe elsewhere to, don't know...)

Ok I'm only interested in checking out the pouches.

I See: Snuff Pouches * Mint Pouches * Straight Pouches * Wintergreen Pouches

Assuming the 'bolded' is what I'm after. Also, I like the idea of the pouch since the fiberglass won't poke so much damage I'm thinking. ANy idea what material the pouch is made out of? Similar to snus I wonder in the material part?

[myuserid]

The pouch material is similar to snus portions, but they look thicker.
