What does your snuff box read

I've tried em all fellas, and all I can say is this, "fresh cope, it satisfies." It's hard to beat when the sun has not yet begun to show it's face, and your throwing out decoys while a 25mph north westerly is stinging your face. Just curious to know what you boys turn to "in a pinch."
 
Well, as hard as I tried back when I was younger, I just could not get a tobacco habit to take. Tried smoking for about a year, tried chewing and dipping about six months, just could not really see what everyone was so crazy about. Most of my buddies still use smokeless, and most use Cope.

I smoked. Then I dipped. Then I would smoke while I dipped. Then I quit.

Now I turn to my wife "in a pinch". /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
I tried chewing some 40 years ago. I thought chew was chew, so I tried chewing a cigar....LOL... Oh.. how I got sick. I still got light shades of green on my skin in places. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
 
I thought you sniffed snuff.

Buy it by the bag or plug: chew Redman, Beechnut, Days O Work, or Levi Garrett.
Be a man. Chew it, don't pinch it.
 
Usually I smoke, but when I can't smoke I chew. Beechnut, Levi Garrett, Redman. I used to chew A LOT when I was working in Yuma for artillery test. If I cant get chew than I may resort to Skoal Bandits, but I still don't care for them much since I'd rather have something I can actually chew on. Never did care much for regular snuff.
 
I started with hawkwens around the age of 14 started hangin with the big boys with copenhagen. I quit for about 4 months and started again with skoal original. Quit for about 5 months and started back with timberwolf. Now I have swithced to Grizzly long cut wintergreen. For some reason once I stop using a brand I cant go back to it. At one point I dipped a can of cope a day, and now just the smell of it makes me sick. But I dip what I can get cheap. Skoal and copenhagen will barely get you any change out of a 5 spot now days.
 
When I'm short a buck or two, or cope isn't available for whatever reason, my cheap alternative is Cougar long cut. I too have quit several times, but I don't think I could quit for good unless I quit hunting for good. Thats when it always seems to taste the best. For any of you kids who might be reading this, I should tell you that I'm 23 years old, have receeding gum lines, and once had a dentist try talking me into a biopsy.
 
I quit! A little at a time, nearly 5 years ago, took that $1000 I was spending every year on snuff, and bought a Rem. 700 VS in 220 Swift, with a 6-18 AO Leupold. Every time I would get the urge to buy a can of snuff, I would go to the safe, get out the Swift, and stick $5 in a envelope in the safe. It wasn't long before I'd saved up enough to reward myself with a new 700 classic in .223. I can now go hunting with my dipping buddies and just have to grin at myself a little. Oh yeah, I dipped Cope close to 28 years. You can quit! I just cut down a little at a time by telling myself I wouldn't dip from 10:00 A.M. untill 12:00 P.M. Then from 2:00 P.M. untill 4:00 P.M. I got to where it was just 5 dips a day, then 4, then 3, then 2, then none. I just set a goal, no time limit, no pressure. The first year is the hardest, after that, you'll smell snuff (or chew) and wonder how you ever smelled like that. You'll also have a bigger gun collection, and your family won't even get mad!
 
I use SKOAL myself, usually in spearmint flavor. My son dips the Copenhagen and I tell him that the stuff is made from horse droppings.
 
Oh how I loved the Cope. It took me a long time to quit but I did. I used to have nightmares of chewing again.
Ninehorses I did the same thing only with beer. When ever I talked myself out of buying a sixpack I took the money and put it in a big jug. I bought a barrel for my encore with the money I saved.
 
Wshen I first started chewing a can of skoal cost 35 cents, and 27 years later when I looked at my can it sasid " You better quit this stuff you dumb sob casue it will kill you" So I did, Now I can smell a can from a fair distance and sometimes it dose smell good but I think it stinks when I smell it in someones mouth, and it is easy to do when your talking to someone
 
I used to dip the worm dirt... usually Copenhagen or Skoal Straight. I never liked the tooty-fruity cherry, mint, or spearmint. The only people who used that stuff were girls. I knew one guy who chewed the mint, but he sat when he pee'd.
 
Daisycutter,
Oh no Daisy, you have that backwards. Didn't you know that all rejected SKOAL is thrown to one side and stuck in little cans that are stamped Copenhagen? Copenhagen of course is German for horse pucky. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Rich-

Had I known that earlier I could've saved a lot of money. Maybe I should go chomp into a meadow muffin and see if it tastes like I remember Cope did. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The funny thing is that when I used to chew Copenhagen I couldn't tolerate the smell. The taste was 10 times as addicting as cigarettes but the smell of Copenhagen would make me puke. I used'ta told my breath until I got in. It took a lot of practice to get it in without makin a mess either. All that time wasted for nuthin.
