Ah, I remember snuff. I don’t dip too often but when I do it’s coperhagen long cut. Bought that Copenhagen snuff by mistake like 20 years ago and I think I still have it in my teeth. I genuinely do not know why anyone uses that stuff.

Snuff used to be named for the stuff people used to use (like Napoleon) and they would snort it. Lots of elegant Snuff boxes out there.

    I found a jar of that once in a little convenience shop way up in the Sierra Nevada mountains. It was made by Levi Garrett & Sons, was in a brown jar, had an old timey label on it, and a cork in the top. For years afterwards my friends and I would pull it out when we got drunk enough and snort it. It was crazy strong. It would mess you up real good. Idk what ever happened to it. It kind of just vanished without me noticing.

    Edit: "I think I still have it in my teeth" lol. Isn't that the truth? I preferred the long cut too. But my friends who were "real men" all preferred the short cut because I guess it proves you're a badass.

    That’s an interesting story about the real snuff. I’ve never seen it before nor have I ever seen it for sale. I’m very curious and would probably try it if I did. I’m sure it would be instant regret.

    I went to college in southern Virginia so I heard all about how long cut was “pussy shit”

    I don’t know what to say - the fine cut stuff just gets into your gums and it’s nasty. Not to mention when you try to pack a lip half of it falls on the floor.

    I’d honestly rather do redman than snuff lol

    Isn't it weird how the culture of manly evolved around things that are quite often subjectively worse?

    I actually liked Redman. I used to work as a horse wrangler over the summer, and I always felt like such a cowboy, riding a horse and chewing Redman. I normally smoked cigarettes, but smoking and horseback riding through a dry forest don't mix all that well, and of course there was all the romanticized cowboy history revolving around chewing, so I kept a packet of that on me whenever I knew I'd be riding.

    Agree, redman is awesome. I used to do it on rare occasions but I was kind of concerned about fucking my teeth up too much. I’d actually prob prefer chew over dip but it can be a bit gross lol. Horseback riding and chew is a perfect fit since you’re out in the country anyway.

    Smoking was my original thing too. Camel lights but went through a phase of rolling my own (drum). Filterless cigarettes hit like a freight train when it’s the first of the day. Miss those days!

    I actually got into vaping over a decade ago and was in the eliquid scene. There’s a website called eliquid recipes and I have a bunch of things I made up on the front page there. These days I just mix with menthol whatever random flavor I have laying around

    Awesome! Thanks for sharing that resource. I used vaping to quit smoking years ago, and then I quit vaping too. But when I quit drinking I was like "this fucking sucks and I need a vice". So I started smoking a pipe. My wife made it absolutely clear that she hated the pipe more than anything, so I went back to vaping.
