My grandmother dipped rooster snuff, complete with use of the gum-tree branches, her entire lfie, including the last 5 years of her life after she had a stroke and only had use of one arm. She laughs at all of you.
My grandmother smokes a carton and drinks a case of Busch light a week. A year before I was born, doctors told her she had maybe 2 years left if she didn't stop. I'm 26 and she's still kicking.
My great grandmother dipped Rose Bud snuff. My grandmother was a King Bee Twist woman like her husband. That side of my family is from Gate City in SW Virginia. EVERYONE there must abuse tobacco products. It's a law. I have dipped powder snuff. It's not bad. I did learn rather quickly that you DON'T inhale when pouring a a dip into your gums.....
I have heard differing stories from guys that worked in US Tobaccos plant. Only half of what is in the can is tobacco.
Swedish snus. The healthier alternative I still haven't tried. So my phone auto corrected snus to anus. That would have been a quote to live by.
If you want some old school stuff, try King Bee, Hornet, Bloodhound, Days-o-Work, or Black Mariah. That's some old school stuff.
That's what my paternal grandfather did. He always left 3 rows that he wouldn't spray to twist his own.
50 years from now some hot shot medical researcher will find out that Busch Light and Pall Mall non-filters add five years to one's life. We will have destroyed a generation of young people by faulty research. BTW, this is totally stupid and anecdotal, but every old man I knew that chewed growing up outlived the competition by a good ten years and their death was totally unrelated to tobacco use. Weird.
I have a friend that does the snus stuff. Not sure how much "healthier" it really is, but it looks like you're dipping a feminine hygiene product.
