I've told troutstroker this, but I'm curious. My wife doesn't appreciate snuff as I do and asks that I only do it at work and when I'm out with my buddies... What are your experience? I figure snuff is much better, cleaner, and neater than my beloved copenhagen chew...
hehe
"Now i went out last Sunday with my little Mary Anne She said please stay 'till Monday and she grabbed me by the can She laid a big one on me- surprised me with her tongue But her surprise was waitin' there between my cheek and gum
Copenhagen, what a wad of flavor Copenhagen, you can see it in my smile Copenhagen, do yourself a favor chew Copenhagen, drivin' pretty girls wild
So I went to the movies with my little Peggy Sue I had my dip there in my lip just like I always do She didn't know I's spittin in my Coca Cola cup She took a great big swaller and then threw her popcorn up, Whoa!
Copenhagen, what a wad of flavor Copenhagen, you can see it in my smile Copenhagen, do yourself a favor chew Copenhagen, drivin' pretty girls wild
The moral of this story is so very sad but true If you stay 'till breakfast friend, they'll wanna marry you So try my little method and I promise you no doubt Dip some Copenhagen if you wanna snuff 'em out
Copenhagen, what a wad of flavor Copenhagen, you can see it in my smile Copenhagen, do yourself a favor chew Copenhagen, drivin' pretty girls wild Copenhagen, drivin' pretty girls wild"
''I've been using it for 15 years and never had trouble with worms or long relationships'" Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
CHORUS Copenhagen it makes me feel so good. Copenhagen the way I know it should. I put a little chew in my mouth, go spittin' and a-slobberin' all around the house, that Copenhagen, it makes me feel so good.
I took a chew just the other night- it made me feel just fine. I grabbed my honey baby and I pinched her ol' behind. She said, "you better spit out that chewin' tobaccer if you wanna kiss me on the big ol' smacker, that Copenhagen, it makes me feel so good
CHORUS
I was sittin' in a bar room and I took a little dip Drinkin' beer & talkin' but I had no place to spit. So I spit a stream out on the floor, and that bouncer flung me out the door, that Copenhagen, it makes me feel so good.
CHORUS
It's a cure all too it cures fits, warts, freckles, coughs, colds, runny nose. Guaranteed not to rip, run or snag. Makes conception a wonder and child birth a pleasure... That's Copenhagen Makes you feel so good
Strange enough, my girl doesn't mind the snuff, even when I get a nasty case of "the runs". I think big brown boogers are hot too :P She hates the snus, even portion, have no idea why. I'm a little scared to take a big ass bite of days work in front of her :D I really only chew plug or loose when I'm cutting wood or hunting. I own a couple spittoons but I'll be damned if I'll clean one, even my own.
The fact that my cigarette usage is down approximately 90% (quite literally) makes my wife EXTREMELY happy. I haven't got her to try it yet but she seems to like the smell of a couple of Bespoke's offerings. She's never been a fan of insufflation but hey, maybe one day she'll try it. Now, the only variable in that situation is the fact that we've only been married for a little over a year. One might say we are still in the "honeymoon" phase, if you will, and she might not be so excited about it when we decide to start a-procreatin'. It's still better than a pack of Camel Turkish Golds a day though, so she may just have to live with it.
I like to indulge in any flavor of Skoal while I'm doing a photoshoot. The only problem is that sometimes all the spitting can be a real turn-off to a client. This sucks particularly bad when my client is a beautiful model! Snuffing is good for a shoot but dipping is better because I don't have to stop what I'm doing to do it, especially when I'm shooting outdoors. Dipping is the only thing I can't do in front of the wifey though because it really grosses her out.
My wife is a heavy cigarette smoker and doesn't like any other form of tobacco if I'm using it. It's OK for her brother in law to smoke cheap cigars in the house. So I chew, smoke & snuff in the house and won't contest a divorce if she wants one. Still haven't heard from her lawyer(can't get lucky). Deficiency; cleaning your own cuspidor ain't half as bad as changing a full dirty diaper and wiping baby's bottom.
Amen snuffgrinder, at least the cuspidor doesn't look at you and scream while you clean it or wake you up at 3:00am every night to be cleaned... Not to mention you can feed the cuspidor any time YOU want...
My G.F. is very happy I use snuff. Mainly because she definately sees that the nicotene has a theraputic effect for me and can see that I'am not killing myself with it. Also she thinks I smell much better now that I snuff. Though she wishes I wouldn't use snuff at the kitchen table.
My wife has no problem with my snuff habit and will even try them once in a while. I think I scared her off a bit by letting her try Packard's Club one of the first times she tried it. Hey, that's what was in my hand at the moment she asked to try it. Her reaction to it was hilarious though. Last night she did try a few with her friend and she seemed to like them and her friend really liked them and says I've changed her life by introducing her to snuff. I had them try Christmas Joy, Latakia A/P, Society, Frederick Tranter Regency (thanks Trout), Toque espresso, Wilson's raspberry and a few others. We discussed the importance of smells and how scents trigger emotions and memories, nicotine content, benefits of not smoking, doing it at work, etc. They liked the wide variety and her friend put in an order for some of my upcoming snuffboxes.
my wife is totally cool with it if fact she thinks it's kinda cool and uses it from time to time she really like the gawith cola and she likes the bespoke gin and tonic i on the other hand like the gin and tonic and am a big fan of packards club but we just started
at first my wife was making fun of me then she was all like give me some she tried it and loved it
My wife doesn't mind me snuffing at all, having said that shes never impressed when shes doing the washing and finds one of my snuff hankies in the pile...
I have asked her to try it on a few occasions but shes pregnant at the moment and a little paranoid about the baby so she won't touch the stuff, i'll ask her again when shes had the kid but I doubt she'd ever be enthused. Shes not really one for recreational drugs.
Mine doesn't mind me snuffing, she just doesn't care much for when she finds my dirty snuff hanky laying around on the coffee table or if I leave several cans lying out all over the living room. Also it appears Lazarus has a bit in common with myself and Tim, as both our wives are pregnant as well. When is yours due Lazarus, my boy is expected in November (my first).
My baby is due in November as well & its our first too (freaky) we don't know if its a boy or a girl until we have our 20 week scan on the 27th but we do want to know so i'll update the forum when we find out.
The Mrs is going to a wedding today and shes paranoid about what clothes shes going to wear...I think shes tried on her entire wardrobe and shes still not happy!!
My wife had the reaction I expected, a disgusted look and a "why the hell would you do that!?" Then the next day after she had been to work she said that one of her co-workers, who i assume she told, said that they read online that snuff was "invented" for women as a socially acceptable way to get a nicotine fix. I corrected her, with info i've read, but it's funny she resorted to questioning my masculity to get me to second guess my choice to use snuff. Ha!
