I gave the WG a 3.5 out of 5 on smpost. It's quite good and probably the only wintergreen I'd buy with any regularity, other than the one off can of Skoal FC once in awhile. Cope Black was replaced by Whiskey Blend. Not minding the changeover, to be honest, but why do they insist upon keeping Cope Straight in their range? It has to be the most nauseating crap on the market.
Snus comes in pouches but also in loose form. The reason, I think, for the upper lip, is reduction for the "need" to spit. With snus, you don't spit, or don't have to. I find a snus in the top lip to be comfortable, not obvious to outsiders, if that matters, of course I have a dirty wizard going on. The loose is molded, it has a clay-like consistency, and stuck in the upper lip.
@ Mr Snuffypants I feel the same way about the straight. Shouldn't staight be straight, plain tobacco flavor? Seems as though Skoal uses the same flavoring for their Straight. If you've ever smelt the dipstick on a motor thats rings are wearing out, that's what I compare it to--a heavy, un-natural toxic smell. (I wouldn't recommend going around smelling dipsticks, but you get my point!)
I haven't had proper dip in many years, but I remember the flavor of Skoal Straight. One of the Bernard snuffs reminded me of it a lot. I think it was the Kostlich. I'm sure Skoal adds some sweeteners but I think the flavor is likely the result of fermentation.
My buddy stopped by today with a tin, First dip I'd had in months, Perty tasty, nice an juicy. None of the after taste I associate with most wintergreen dips.
i just found out my buddys mom has 14 cans of that stuff she got from somewhere they were giving them away for free.im gonna jump on his offer .when i get them ill let u guys know and if someone is interested we can trade for something.i wouldnt be able to use half that stuff and i wouldnt want it to go bad sitting around .
Did a search on Copenhagen but this was all I found, So I'll ask here. Anybody ever use Cope for nasal snuff? I went high and low yesterday looking for Cope Fine cut/Snuff. I live in the Oakland and if you can imagine, there isn't a lot of dip users around. Bad selection, ya know. But I found it. Not to toot the stuff but to use it like normal. Anyway, it occurred to me that this stuff was pretty close to the grind found in NTSU and other S.African variations. I'm thinking of using that cramming method some of us are so fond of, but I kinda worry about the drip hitting the stomach and well... you know.
I don't think that it's any worse than NTSU, but it's been more than a few years since I tried it. Copenhagen, as a nasal snuff, has even had it's admirers, including the naturalist, John James Audubon. Here's a quote from one of his letters: "He presented us to all his principal officers, shewed us every part of his superb ship, gave us some first-rate wine and a bottle of Copenhagen snuff that would make your nostrils expand with pleasure, and draw tears from your eyes--the stuff is so potent."
I have snuffed copenhagen a few times, but I mostly do so when I have a little left in the tin that has dried out a bit. But, after I tried NTSU I figured what the hell. I was out one night drinking and forgot my snuff. My buddy had a can of Grizzly Wintergreen longcut, so I decided to give it a try nasally. It wasn't bad at all. I would say anyone that likes NTSU or Taxi wouldn't find it all that different.
