For anyone interested, Beech Nut, Red Man and Stokers chewing tobacco is now available from the US warehouse of Northerner.com. This may allow Europeans who struggle to get hold of the stuff to give it a try. I’ve tried the Copenhagen Longcut and the Stokers chew, and prefer the chew. There is something a bit more satisfying about it and it doesn’t feel abrasive on the gums. The nicotine delivery is more subdued than dip though.

That is good news for those who haven’t tried some of those chews–the good thing is it looks as though a person doesn’t have to order more than a pound, at most, off the Northerner site. (Do you have a brass cuspidor at your house yet, Alex?
