Well, Friday’s here, and that means no dip since Sunday. Feeling good, no cravings per se, just more like a habitual thing popping up. [/quote]
Eventually the days turn into weeks, weeks into months, etc. If you start to crave a chew, just ask yourself if you want to be a slave to a habit.

i was up to a tin of copenhagen every 2-3 days. i knew the stores with the freshest tins and bought the 10-packs. i’d often put a chaw of redman in, with the dip. i carried a spit bottle at all times. i worked in a hospital and i’d put a dip in my upper lip and work in the OR for hours at a time swallowing the juice. quitting was the hardest thing ever. i still crave it.

i was a surgical resident a the time. i never slept so i needed something. my life is alot easier now, so all i really “need” is my protein shakes!
I am going to try quiting monday, wish me luck. I tore my bicepts tendonw out of my elbow and have done nothing but chew and drink beer, and fish and shoot varmits. I just got released to start lifting again and think it is time for a change. When I lift I don’t drink so I think I can do the same for dippin. My work gave me patches for the cravings and I hope they work. I currently go through a can a day of cope long cut, man does it settle me down. I jsut want to be around for my kids and my grand kids if I am lucky enough. Wish all of you the best of luck!!!

Fuck patches, we don’t need no stinking patches. The gum is the best. Stick it in the lip and bam, oral fixation and nicotine taken care of.

Damn all this talk bout chewin makes me wana throw one in
NOTE TO ALL SKOAL,COPE, GRIZZLY CHEWERS: fuck you kodiak is the best
RIZZA STAY STRONG MAN, DONT LET THE DIP BRING YA DOWN![/quote]
Dude. Kodiak is a rip off. It’s Grizzly with a bit more of a buzz and more fiber glass. Wooooo. that’s so worth that extra 2 dollars. Grizzly mint FTW.
ill jump in on this. bout two weeks ago i threw away 4 cans. 2 grizzly, 2 skoal. i suppose it was easier to do because the grizzly’s were wintergreen and i really hate wintergreen. however, the skoals were peach and apple, which i like very much. i had an urge earlier today, and the normal thought to go across the street and buy some was there at first, but then remembered that i had quit and couldnt.
the first week was really bad. now im getting used to it. im sticking with it because i told a bunch of people, including girlfriend, that i would quit by a certain time, and i really intended to do it, but i went back out and bought more, which made me feel very weak.
its funny because i always tend to think the regular rules dont apply to me; i can have casual beers and not feel an urge for them, or i can get blasted drunk with friends and then have no desire to drink for months, that doesnt really grab me, but MAN, the dip got me quick.
Shove some Copenhagen up your Canuck twat and see if you get it then, eh?
Thank you, Dr. Strangelove!
Yeah, no prob. I get it. I’ve used Cope for about ten years now. I’ve tried quitting, but all I’ve accomplished is cutting way back. It’s tough. As an aside, I was part of some class-action lawsuit against the US Smokeless Tobacco Company that I signed up for two years ago after seeing an ad in the San Francisco Chronicle for it. I totally forgot about it until I got a check for $400 in the mail this morning. I went to the bank, deposited that shit and went straight to 7-11 for a fresh tin.[/quote]

Alright guys. Hooch snuff came today.
Cracked opened the mint tin.
First thing I noticed: smells like newport cigarettes.
Second thing I noticed: fine cut.
Being a long cut guy myself… the fine cut threw me for a loop.
There is that ‘hot’ / ‘burning’ sensation dip has… which was kinda cool.
You can spit if you want.
As far as the flavors I tried…
Cherry was the worst.
Spitfire was o-k
Mint was good…
Still haven’t tried classic (supposed to taste like tobacco) and wintergreen.
I threw out the cherry. It was just bad. It smelled good. But eh, just didn’t like it.
I dunno. I guess it’s worth a try. Every individual is different. if it wasn’t so finely cut… I’d probably like it alot more.
Ask any questions if you want. Took 3 days to get here… I’m NY… came from georgia I believe. S o not too bad.

Thanks for the update! I’ll stick with my gum… the more I think about it, why the fuck was I putting shit that looks like dirt in my mouth anyways? I sure as shit don’t wanna put fake nicotine dirt in my mouth!
Yeah, the hooch snuff bit made me realise how gross it is.
Except. I still want to do it anyway.
And I started making my own hooch pouches using empty tea bags.
Haha. That solved my issues with how fine cut it is. (But also shows my obsession…)
The lack of buzz is killing me though. Also, if I use it loose… clean up is just weird. It doesn’t pack down and form the ball dip does… it doesn’t stay packed. Clean up is a tongue covered in HOOCH! ( I can’t get over the name… hooch… it just sounds obscene)
I’ve been using ‘spit fire’ the most … because it burns the most…
it’s supposed to be tabasco or something…
which sounded cool until whatever herb they used is the majority of what you taste. So it just feels really hot… has that numbing effect. It’s the closest out of all the flavors so far to be the most alike dip. Justtttt with no buzz. Ahhhhhhhhh
If I don’t start liking hooch snuff any time soon… I’m on to try Smokey mountain if i can get the site to work… golden eagle… or this weird mint snuff I saw… that is made entirely out of the plant mint…
