Anyone on board here dip snuff? Or chew? I chew tobacco and dip skoal nonstop, its a bad habit i know... Tons of my friends growing up playing baseball got me hooked and my fellow cadets in rotc arent helping it any...

i have a friend in Sweden that was kind enough to send me some Swedish Snus and man alive!!!! IT IS GREAT STUFF!!!! you can check it out online, the company is Swedish Match.

But for dippers on board, what is your favorite dip? :)
 
Guacamole, followed closely by Spinach but that's risky these days.
 
I dipped for 20 years. Had to quit because my insurance rates were worse than my partner, WHO HAS CANCER, so they really whack you on your insurance premiums if you are a tobacco user.

Except for an occasional relapse and except for an occasional cigar at a wedding or something, It's been three years since I used tobacco.

I used Scoal Long Cut, green can. I also liked the cherry scoal. Now I've seen they've got a whole bunch of flavors. I also noticed that its like $6 a can. That's crazy! I also chewed leaf tobacco, usually RedMan or Beechnut. I only did that when I was out hunting. It was a ritual of fall.
 
Does anyone else remember when only the little old ladys dipped sniff, and a guy wouldn't have been caught dead doing it?:barf:
 
A million years ago I was on a crappy softball team @ work- I briefly tried Skoal Bandits after I got yelled at by the umpire for smoking in the outfield.
Never developed a taste for it.

You got yelled at for smoking in the outfield? LMAO! I knew a fellow rugger that used to play fullback... he smoked WHILE he played! Funnier than hell to see a big ol' long-legged guy running like greased lightning, scoring a try with a cig in his mouth.
Rumor has it that Jim McMahon of the Chicago Bears used to play while dipping Cope. Swallowed his chew once after a nasty hit and promptly threw up on the field.

When I bounced in college, we used to keep a tin of Skoal or Cope behind the bar for when a bar fly wouldn't leave you alone... when you really did want her to leave you alone. Usually a big ol' chew and half full spit cup would drive away all but the most persistant ones. :D

LMAO. Taht is absolutely hilarious!!!! ROFL. bandis arent bad but they dont give you as much flavor... They are also high dollar...

shan, 20 years... wow. glad that ya kicked the badit, it is a bad one... i hate to start a lifelong habit now while i am in my 20s.... skoal wintergreen is great though.... and the line about chewing being a ritual of the fall was brilliant.... loved that one and wthe truth that it beholds as well...

how did you kick the habit?
 
Copenhagen for 18 years,off it now for going on three.I also was classified a smoker in the eyes of my insurance company and only after 2 years chew-free did they raise my rating.Quit because it was starting to be time to talk to my oldest daughter about not smoking.
Gave it up cold turkey but miss it just about every day.
 
I chewed Redman for many years, right up until they cut a chunk out of my gum to have it biopsied.....

I got lucky, quit now.

The voice of common sense. Why in the world would one keep a habit which is not only disgusting and expensive but can be lethal? :confused: I am not trying for a "holier then thou" we all have our weaknesses certainly but this seems like one that if overcome is ALL upside.
 
When my father got cancer in his throat, the first thing the doc's asked was, if he smoke a pipe or chewed tobacco. He didn't do either, but he did smoke (Pall Malls :() After a lengthty hospital stay and radiation treatments, he recovered.
He told some horrible stories about some of the tested that were performed on him in the hospital...

Oh, you must mean alcohol.


I've been chewing for about 15 years, Skoal long cut, the flavor varies.

Sure alcohol too, especially if you are addicted to it. However this thread was about dip. Sorry I just don't see an upside. Let's see a chemical dependency that makes you unattractive and can kill you. Oh yeah but it tastes good...

Get a patch guy, it would just suck for the bad guys and the training to never get you, but to get bumped off by a chemical habit.

Using the same will power that you used to put your second dip in. :D

Remember how bad it tasted that first time, but for whatever reason, you forced yourself to put it in again.

Wow. possibly the best advice i have ever heard on this topic! thanks man.



yea and dying from cancer in the mouth or throat is far worse than getting mugged.... at least you die quick when you are mugged and they dont cut half your face off like they do with mouth cancer...:eek:

That's priceless. :thumbup: Would have loved to have seen that. When I was playing Rugby in Germany, at least a few of the guys would walk onto the field smoking & flick away a butt before kickoff.
Playing rec league ball growing up, I had a coach who once choked on a wad of Red Man when we scored an unexpected touchdown on a broken play. He turned all kinds of colors. :barf:
