I never was successful at rehydrating Copenhagen. I always found it best to just mix it in with some fresh stuff. Never heard of the Gatorade method but I guess anything could work, even Coca Cola.
try some chew renew. @ http://chewrenew.com/
Hmm, I wonder what’s in that stuff? Is it mostly water or does it actually contain active ingredients that work. If that stuff works it might be a quick and lazy way to rehydrate nasal snuff too. Otherwise I’ll just stick to tossing a couple of apple slices into a ziplock baggie along with the tobacco and leave it in the fridge for a few days.
@Mark W Cool info. The ingredients make sense. It’s a water-oil emulsion with lecithin as the emulsifier. That’s almost identical to watered down hand lotion except the oils are different.
I got the 3 bottle deal, and I spray it on every tin of dip I get. I think it works well. I haven’t had to rehydrate anything with it yet. I imagine it might work on snuff, if you spray the lid of a smash box, and then close it with the snuff inside. That may be an easy way to rehydrate. I may do it with some of the dried out snuff I have and let you all know how it goes.
Thanks for sharing this Mark. I look forward to hearing how it works on your nasal snuffs.
If you have some fresh lemongrass in your garden, I can attest that putting a few leaves in a box with some O&G makes for a wonderfully citrus-y aroma - my recipe is one leaf (ripped so that the pieces are around 1" long) for every spoonful of O&G: give it a couple days to scent the snuff, shaking the box once in a while, and I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Hmm, wonder if that works with clover. Would be fun to mix up a batch of clover IHT for St. Patty’s day.
@spyro: I wouldn’t know, but it’s honestly unlikely that it’s as easy. Lemongrass’ aroma is really quite potent, while clover (at least around here) is a bit subdued, in my experience - at the very least it would take longer.
