If I have chew on hand I may chew 2-3 times per day. I am ordering from Mr snuff soon and thought I would give some of the Gawith Hoggarth twists to try. I have had a pouch of redman for about a week any idea how much twist I should buy? And any good flavor recommendations or tips on useage?
Only twist I’ve had was King B Sweet, which I bought from a local discount tobacco store. I chewed alittle of it and enjoyed it, tried smoking it but, that simply didn’t work. Finally ended up grinding most of it up super fine and mixing it two to one with Bruton’s for a really good snuff that I’ve grown to love.
We have a special on all the Twists, Use code TWISTED. Did you get the email?
Hey Dave, yes I did inspired me to start working up an order with some twists included:)
The twists are great. I will often cut off a segment that will suit my needs, depending on how long I want it to last and what is comfortable in my lip. I will give the plug a couple of soft but firm bites to help liberate the flavor and then I keep mine like a snus prilla, in my upper lip in front of my canines. Using it like this I will only have to spit a couple of times in the beginning and then I keep the rest. Every so often I will bring the plug back down and give a couple more bites, and then put it back up. The flavors are great and Vitamin N is there in spades. After I have finished chewing the twist I let it dry out somewhere safe and clean. When it is back to a medium moisture content, I will slice it further and smoke it in my pipe. It will still deliver quite nicely at this point. Historically miners would use twist tobacco in this fashion, and if they didn’t smoke it after drying it out, their wives would often grind it into snuff. Twists can be quite economical if you employ a multi-use method.
As far as flavors go, I would trust your intuition. I like Maple, Rum & Coconut quite a bit, though recently I have just been using G&H Brown Bogie which is a plain twist with a narrower diameter. I can’t imagine any of them could be that bad.
Good ideas I presume. I ended up ordering the strawberry and apple. That was along with some snuff of course.
