Brands Of Chew

Klinker said:
Hi everyone.. I was just wondering how many fellow ranchers.net users chew.. and if so what brand..

Chewed Copenhagen for 40 years- but switched to Grizzly when Cope got too expensive...Can get the Grizzly fine cut natural for more than 1/2 the price of Copenhagen and really can't tell the difference....
 
I can't stomache the stuff personally. Well, what I mean is if my wife, and before her my father, ever caught me chewing they would punch me in the stomache :shock: .. Nah.. Just never had any desire to chew.. Smoke a nice cigar everyonce in a long while but that is the extent of my tobacoo vice.
 
Right now I perfer Skoal Fine Cut myself.. but every now and then I like Skoal long cut mint or wintergreen.. I started chewing when I was about 15... Used to steal copenhagen from Grandpa when I was younger than that, not sure why but it always seemed fun to do.. Its not the best habit to have and sure a hard one to kick.. I've tried a couple times and still keep chewing..

Like today is a hard one for chewing.. its been raining since friday night and to muddy to really do anything. the combine and everything is ready for harvest.. So as I catch up on my bookwork I find a can doesnt last very long..
 
Klinker,
I go to any tobacco shop, when I can get to a large enough town and just buy one that I think I might like. No special brand. I have a tendency to go for the fruit ones or sweet cigars... I do like those swizer sweet cherry cigars. Man it's been a long time since I had a chance to smoke a good stogey....
 
A good cigar is in the eye of the beholder.. I can't stand the sweet or fruit ones but others love them.. That is okay... Cigars can get painfully expensive, especially the contraband ones out of Cuba in the US.. Those things are darn expensive but darn good at the same time..


For us to get Cigars out here we have to drive an hour to a smoke shop and than it is over priced.. But there is something about sitting outside, drinking a few drinks and having a cigar in the moth on a cool fall night that just feels right.
 
I used to chew Redman but quit and chewed Youngs Herbal chew from Dewey Arizona. It was really good. Could get the cans or pouch. I have weaned myself off that as well but every once in a while I think i would like a chew of it. The government has made chewing to costly in Canada as I just checked for fun one day and it was over $16 for a pouch of Beechnut.

Same thing down here- they are going to tax the sin and vices out of us.... :wink:
 
The other time I love a Cigar is in the middle of winter during a snow storm when I am out pushing snow with the big tractor or looking for calves durng a presidents day snow storm.. They help me stay awake or something, I don't know but it also keeps me out of the house..

Again, it is once in a very long while as 5 or 6 bucks a smoke for moderte priced Cigars or 13-14 for some real nice ones just would put a crimp in the pocket after a while. My Father in law on the other hand smokes them like som folks smoke Cigarrettes.. But he has a bit more money than I have.
 
I like Beechnut,also get a craving for a good cigar once in a while,like Katrina no special brand,light it and puff a little,dip it in good whiskey and enjoy............good luck
 
hubby "chewed" copenhagen long cut for 20 years.....til I came home one night from working in helena!! Held the hand of a 42 year old rancher while his wife and 3 kids watched him die from cancer that had started in his lower lip, spread to his jaw, lymphnodes and eventually to his brain!!! Will never, ever forget that family!! still cry when I think of the oldest child....a boy about 9-10 years old...trying to be brave while wanting to find a quiet place to cry!! Sorry, folks, do not mean to preach to ya, but that was quite the wake-up call for me...drove home and at 1 in the morning, woke the hubby and he and I had a very serious talk!! Did not even realize that he had quit for about a month!! He has been tobacco free now for 4 years!! Not an easy habit to break!!
 
I actually think it's a VERY bad and disgusting habit. Alot of the younger guys around here are chewing, they think it's better than smoking.

I'm not much better, I do smoke. Too much most days! As for cigars, when hubby takes up the habit (he's an on-again, off-again kind of guy), he smokes Captain Black Sweets. I don't mind helping myself to a puff or two.
 
stress and truck driving make me want a dip something fierce!!!! I am a Levi Garrett man, and now that my boys are getting older I am trying like sin to kick the habit, I sure do not want them starting it, nothing like peer pressure from a 6th and a 3rd grader to whip a man of his vices!

I don't smoke as I will have an asthma attack and I have a weak stomach if I put in a chew 5 minutes later I am getting light headed and another 5 minutes I'm pukeing.No thanks to either.I do like a beer now and again.Cigars stink in my book nasty habit that and pipe smoke yuck.
 
Can't say that I have ever smoked a pipe but I can say that I used to love the smell of pipe tobacco when I played baseball or soccer or any other otherdoor even and someone at the event was smoking a pipe... Would take Cigar or Pipe smoke anyday over cigarette, clove cigarette or whacky tobaccy cigarette smell anytime.
