here is a question why would a company ever make the selling points of a product so esotericaly labeled? If they didn’t want people to know for some reason why would they have a secret code? I mean if they wanted to say this one is stronger in nick then this one they’d use a code that would be easy to figure. Like the way cigarettes can be “full flavor”. I guess I’am saying the answer to the orginal question has to be no no couldn’t be.
Wow, bob. The brilliance of reasoned deduction and logic! Good job! More people could benefit from the power of their own minds, if only they paused to think like that once in awhile.
@Xander: My plastic bottle has 4 dots.
@xander. The power of urban legend is indeed strong. We all love the feeling of the secret handshake. It’s definatly got a strong appeal and if you get caught in the appeal it’s going to bypass your logic. Happens to me all the time. For example I really want to belief in the lizard people rulers, because I really like lizards and think that if they had human like intelligence that they’d be some sharp rulers indeed. 
@bob lol
What I posted on an older thread concerning this same question. I have read a few different reasons for the dots. One explanation is strength, one is that they are vent holes to release air from the mold & another is that the bottles were filled before the labels where added, the dots help identify what type of snuff needs to go in that bottle. But the real reason for the dots are instead glass maker marks intended to track quality control of bottles produced by different machines & before machines it was the makers mark of the individual glass blower who blew it into a mold. This last explanation is straight from Conwood.
Ay up Trout! Long time no see, welcome back. Stefan
12 bottles…full case… all the same scotch rappee…some 3 dot…some 4 dot…dots all over… some dots here … some dots there… here a dot, there a dot… dot dot… dot… dddddd ot…ddot…dot…dot…dddd…t…odod…dot,…at the rate i’m using this 4.65oz bottle, 13 of them should last me bout 30 years longer than i’ll be alive…maybe by that time the world economy will have totally collapsed…gold will be worthless…and tobacco products will be a universal currency,…well that and alcohol…and women… ya know… the basic stuff…
Thanks, Trout. A very timely return on your part!
Maybe someone should research wether a particular configuration is more historically significant!
P.S. @Troutstroker does this mean I need to post more reviews to stay on top?
I know this thread is old, but I just picked up a 4 dot unopened jar of Levi for 10 bucks, plus shipping. I tend to believe the glass maker idea more than the strength of the snuff. I think all the L Garrett Scotch is the same strength.
Holy crap me. I am responding to myself. It is now 14 years later, I am 14 years uglier, and I still have 5 sealed bottles. I wonder if its any good or could be improved with a slice of apple..
