The Dip Thread

[TheOneandOnly]

I don't know. I'm not too keen on flavored snus, so I haven't been very interested in trying the flavored dips. But I might, someday.

Stay away from Cherry and Berry..

Peach, Apple and Citrus are nice one in a while during the warm weather..

Vanilla, worth a try just because theres no other tobacco product flavored like it at all..

The Skoal Spearmint is a big thumbs up.

I am a little curious about the Vanilla.

What I am really liking, have some in now, is this Red Seal Natural Long Cut. Better than Longhorn, which isn't "bad". I'd say this Red Seal is like a cheaper Copenhagen LC, and on par with Skoal Classic.

Still have a Timberwolf Nat LC I haven't opened.

[TheOneandOnly]

Never had Redseal, never even seen it on sale.. :? except for northerner.


Try the Vanilla, it tastes like slightly burnt Vanilla icing cake. Very unique, but a once in a while dip..


Hows the Skoal classic compare to the straight? I've tried to find classic around me but never no one seems to have it.

[tom502]

Well, the Skoal Classic was great. It reminded me of Copenhagen Snuff, not exactly maybe, but very close, but is Long Cut. Yes, I know there is a Copenhagen Long Cut, have an unopened can here, but haven't gotten to it. But yes, the Skoal Classic was great. This Red Seal Natural is very similar, maybe just a slight less good. Longhorn Nat LC eh, not as good, too salty. But doable.

[tom502]

Nasal snuff and dip do not mix well.

[tom502]

I just mixed an equal amount of Red Seal Natural, which I really like, with some Skoal Straight, which I really got tired of, and now, it's totally different, and really good. I think I'd do this again.

[TheOneandOnly]

Tom, which dip have you determined to be the most easily 'pinchable'?

[tom502]

Well, I find all the LC I've had to be easily "pinchable".

[TheOneandOnly]

no I mean what brands..? I find that I for the life of me, can't ever seem to get a nice pinch of longhorn or timberwolf.

[tom502]

Hmm, well, the Skoal Long Cut was easy, and I think the Grizzly Longcut was easy. The Longhorn Long Cut was doable. This is all I've had, oh the Red Seal Long Cut was easy. But as a newbie, my "pinching" is just grabing some out.

I usually buy the Redman Wintergreen when I run out of the offroad wg longcut. I might be the only person that actually likes the offroad wg over any american dip. The fire cured taste of American dip from what I have tried and the TSNA counts keep me pretty much away from being a regular user.

From the few dips I have tried over the last year.
Redman straight- Similar in flavor to the leaf but a little too much lobster/barbecue taste.

Redman WG- A old can will taste like crap but a fresh one is just fine.

Redman Natural Fine cut- Similar to Copenhagen original. STRONG nic hit.

Timberwolf Straight Longcut- Crap with lobster/barbecue flavor

Timberwolf WG Longcut- Just plain Crap with a slight WG flavor. Probably old can.

Copenhagen WG Longcut- Picked up about 10 cans in a Vegas booth over a few days to give to the guys at work. Saved one can for myself to try.
This stuff was the best out of anything I had ever tried American dipwise.

lobster/barbecue taste.

LOLWUT?

Still can't dine 1900 Griz, one of these days hopefully.

[texasmade]

i have in some skoal citrus right now. you should try it if you havent its good for switching up rotation

[tom502]

I really recommend trying the mix of natural and straight. It was really good. I have some Grizzly straight pouches, but I think I'm gonna open them up, and mix them with Timberwolf natural. But right now, I am on this can of Red Seal nat, and after that I wanna try this Cope Smooth Hickory.

[Liandri]

You're really plowin' into that stuff. Still can't find 1900 anywhere, but when I do I still wanna try t.
