| Snuff comes in a two
and half inch circular can (net weight 1.2oz for most - 1.5oz for ROOSTER). The dipper
takes a "pinch" or "dip" and places it between the cheek and gum of
his mouth and sucks on it. Spitting is optional, but advised for newbies. The most common
stuff is Copenhagen, Skoal fine cut and Kodiak, which account for 92% of the U.S. snuff
market. Hawken and Skoal Bandits account for 3%. Copenhagen is the top seller. An
estimated 10 million American adults use smokeless tobacco. About 20% of high school-age
males chewed tobacco or dipped snuff. Chewing tobacco comes in a pouch, in the form of long strands of tobacco (leaves) or a plug (compressed leaves in a block) which users take a "chaw", "plug" or "chew". The brands most commonly selected by users are Red Man, Levi-Garrett, and Beech Nut. |
 ROOSTER - Obviously the best of the best here. Rooster comes in a larger can for one (1.5oz as opposed to the normal 1.2oz). It also has a great wintergreen flavor and also a badass buzz to match. Get yourself some Rooster if you want to dip with the big boys. Updated Info On Rooster: Look for a new flavor coming out soon (already out in most markets) called "Icy Mint." This flavor smells and tastes like candy, while still delivering a helluva buzz. SKOAL - One of the big ones, Skoal has a nice variety when it comes to taste. Flavors include wintergreen, mint, cherry, straight, classic and spearmint (these are for the long cuts). It also comes in a fine cut wintergreen as well as a fine cut straight. There is also a not-so-popular "Skoal Key," which is hard to find. Skoal Key has a long cut to it but is almost like "leafy." The taste is decent though (kind of like Copenhagen). Anyway, if taste is your concern, stick with Skoal. But if you're looking for that killer buzz, try something tougher. KODIAK - Probably the best buzz, not counting Rooster, is Kodiak. Kodiak is not big on the different flavors though, coming in a long cut wintergreen and long cut straight, as well as a fine cut straight (better known as "Kodiak Choice"). The "Choice" is not known too well though, mostly reffered to as "The Welfare Bear," but the wintergreen and straight are extremely popular. The wintergreen has a hell of a taste as well as a buzz. Kodiak is known for putting large amounts of fiberglass in their dip to insure a hell of a buzz. If you're looking for your manhood, look into a can of this stuff. Updated Info On Kodiak: Apparently Conwood is trying out some new things, and so they've released a mint flavor of Kodiak called "Kodiak Ice" into a test market in the northeastern United States. From the rumors, Kodiak Ice is doing well and should be released nationwide within the next year. COPENHAGEN - The most popular dip of all, Copenhagen has been around for years and years. Although it only comes in a straight flavor, it has a fine cut as well as a long cut. Copenhagen has been known to put quite a few newbies on their ass, so watch it if you're just starting out. Copenhagen is a sure-fire winner in taste and buzz categories. RED SEAL - For a dollar a can, you know this stuff can't be the best thing for you. If you're looking for an excuse to miss work, dip some of this snuff and get yourself sick. COUGAR - It's hard to believe this stuff comes from the boys who brought us Kodiak (Conwood Co. LP). Tasting this, you'd probably give up dipping all together. But then you'd realize your mistake and go back to the Rooster or the Bear or Cope or whatever. Only buy Cougar if you're trying to quit. RED WOOD - Someone is trying to copy Copenhagen here, but they did a terrible job. I don't know if anyone's ever tasted a "Red WOOD" but I'll bet it tastes just like this crap. That's most likely where they got the name. TIMBERWOLF - If you are ready to dip old dog mess then try some Timberwolf. It would probably taste better if you scraped your butt crack after a hearty dump and stuck whatever you found into your lip. Timberwolf actually is the first chew people have found that tastes exactly like a fart smells. RIGHT CUT - More like "Right Butt," this snuff has earned the award for tasting worse than anything else. Sometimes you'll get excited when you see a new can in the store that you've never seen before. You might get really happy, energetic, almost horny. But don't buy this stuff guys or you'll lose that hard-on quick. Hell you might lose your taste buds while you're at it. There is not enough bad things to say about this stuff. It's hard to believe that US Tobacco could actually do this bad. Got any more for this list? Send email to roosterboyz@hotmail.com |
