My brother is a longtime dipper and likes an occasional cigar or pipe. We were sitting around a campfire, smoking pipes, and he said that I should try chewing tobacco (not dip, which he said was too intense).
It turned out to be good advise, I bought a pouch of Redman and enjoyed it. For one thing, chewing tobacco tastes like pipe tobacco smells, which is great. The nicotine rush is a little too much sometimes, though, even my strongest pipe tobaccos have never given me the hiccups like big gooey blob of Redman.
Overall I enjoyed most of the pouch, except when I put in a bigger pinch than my cheek could hold, which made it impossible to keep from swallowing some juice. GAG! The taste is super-sweet, strong tobacco flavor, with lots of raisin and molasses flavors, too.
I've read that Redman Golden is higher in nicotine, so I'll avoid it, but what about other brands? I'd like to find a chew that is less sweet if I can. All that sugar gets old after a while.
