I dipped first with Tube Rose, then Honeybee. What other snuffs are good for dipping? I figured the Sweet Scotches would be best for dipping. Is that right?
Conwood Peach.
I think you can dip anything you like. It’s all good.
How exactly do you use snuff for dipping? I just don’t understand how you get the powder in your mouth.
Lick your finger, dip into the snuff tin and rub the powder on your gums. Much like how cocaine is often taken.
Hmm. I don’t know about that. Was it worth repeating? I can see me doing that and messing up. I can’t even take american dip without having to spit it out.
If you have a scotch or sweet, just pour some in the lid then pour it in your lip. Or just put a pinch in. It takes a little while to get used to it. But I really like it now.
You can spoon it in too. You’d be suprised how much you can fit in. Give it time to moisten up though before adding more.
You can put it up your nose as well. That’s the way I use US scotches
Dang Pieter, you are up in the middle of the night.
Most of the American snuffs (Scotches and Sweets) were made for dipping. In fact, I believe it was the custom in the South to “dip” into a Scotch such as W.E. Garrett with a moistened twig, hence the term “dip.” Probably why it comes in 1.15oz cans instead of 5, 10, or 25 gram tins. This is also why some of them are called Dental Scotch/Sweet, in all likelihood. The current “dip” is probably taken from Swedish snus, except it is fire cured and fermented instead of steamed and pasteurized. Basically moist snuff of varying grades/cuts.
I had my first dip experience at five minutes ago.I used W.E:Garrett Sweet and Mild.It is as sweet as Brown sugar!!!Delicious!!!And now i am getting the Nic Hit and it is strong.It seems like i have smoked a bowl of a strong english pipe tobacco!!!Astonishing, I must say.Unfortunately it is the only american sweet in my stash.
anyone tried dipping any of the english snuffs and what was that like ?
@holonmax Just curious, how much did you dip, and what was your “technique?” Some pour a bit in the lip, others prefer to rub it into the gums. I’d suppose rubbing it would maximize surface contact and nicotine absorption. The other way, you’d probably have a dry spot right in the middle. I have some WE Garrett on the way. I’ll probably try dipping it at some point, too. That and some Copenhagen.
You can wrap the US scotches up in a piece of coffee filter a la portionsnus. I learned this trick from Pieter. I found it much easier than pouring powder in my gob.
Well not to be outdone by @OscarWabbit and @holonmax, I dropped a pinch of Dental Sweet Snuff under my lip and we’ll see what happens. So far, a sweet and smokey flavor; I’m just beginning to feel it becoming moist. We’ll see how the nic hit goes; might be a discovery. Hm. Thanks Oscar!
You’re welcome Ddave, as one newbie to dipping as another 
Honeybee is the only scotch I’ve got that I like to dip, it’s a rare treat, but I think I might have a lip full now…
What you should actually dip is TAXI and NTSU. That is, if you are brave enough.
Oscar, your nomination to Debrett’s has been returned with this reply: " Dear OscarWabbit, It has been brought to our attention that you have lowered yourself to the vile habit of “dipping”. For the present, let it be known your application has been erased from our archives! I believe the long term affects will be even worse. Why risk your brain and soul? pointless. Most sincerely, Debretts
