I bought a couple packs about 6 months ago and I haven’t come close to finishing either of them. The don’t do anything for me as far as nicotine and the juice kinda burns the back of my throat. Johndeere - naa its not snuff. they are tightly rolled up bits of tobacco that you nibble on.

I got some of the tropical flavor recently. I prefer it to chewing/oral tobacco, it’s more discrete, and you don’t have to spit. The only snus I’ve tried is camel spice snus, and the oliver twist is better than that in my opinion. I’d like to give the other flavors a try, but haven’t been able to find them.

I do use from time to time, not exactly devoted to them but they are good. The Senior has a nice strong tobacco flavor. Sunberry & citrus are pretty good as well.

Best I could sell it for would be 5.25. Stuffs not cheap! Anybody know what the shelf life is? Tom

Tom - the bits are vac sealed in a little bag inside the box. I’d guess the shelf life is at least a couple of years, maybe longer. I don’t think I’d buy them. I found a really small piece of Cotton Boll lasts a long time and doesn’t cause spitting. Also makes a very stout snuff, for those hobbyists out there. I wouldn’t mind trying some other twists, but most internet sellers only offer boxes of 12. Maybe you could offer one or two brands of USA tobacco twists?

stich, thanks for the response. Give me some brand names as I’m unfamiliar with twists. I’ve seen them advertised but wouldn’t know where to start. As for making snuff, I’m just getting into that now. Tom

I’m not familiar with a lot of them. There are people on the board who have more experience with twist than me, for sure. I’ve only tried Cotton Boll, and a three twist sampler from stokers. I liked their sweet air cured for chew best. The dark fire cured was pretty harsh. The air cured plain made a good snuff, that will make your head spin. Cotton Boll has a good flavor, and a nice red leaf color. Here’s a link to a place that only sell boxes, but they have a good variety of brands: http://www.riverfrontgifts.com/StoreDetails.aspx/Tobacco/TwistTobacco/opt/store/16/category/371 Hope that is helpful.

The oliver twist has a freshness date on the back. Not to say they arent useable beyond the date but its something to consider if you are thinking about selling them.

I use Oliver Twist when I’m in the mood. I go through a packet every two months or so. Like I say not something I do everyday but it is something I like. Stefan

how do you use this stuff - i ordered some apple twist/pig tail from snuff store, from the picture i looks like it comes in one long section, how much do i cut off to use at a time, also where do i put it in my mouth and for how long, do i chew it suck it, spit or swallow the juice - sorry for all the question but a bit green when it comes to mouth tobacco as its not common in the UK.

thanks for the reply and advice lxskllr - my order arrived this morning, the twist / pigtail wasn’t what i was expecting its very thick the whole thing is probably only about an inch long. i cut a small bit of and stuck it between my lip and gum but only lasted about 2 minutes in there though as my throat started to burn or something? so i had to spit it out - on first impressions im not to keep but will give it another go maybe i’ll come round to it.

did you spit? seems like swallowing twist juice would be a little rough. (i think i understand that oliver twist is alot different from a actual twist pig tail type tobacco)
