A pouch of chewing tobacco
Chewing tobacco is the undisputed king of manly tobacco products. This product receives a very high manly rating because it requires the user to expectorate. Most women find spitting repulsive, which is a big part of what makes it so manly. Men that have manly professions, such as construction workers and cowboys rely on chewing tobacco to obtain nicotine. The most prominent varieties of smokeless tobacco include loose-leaf chewing tobacco and dip. Chewing Tobacco
Chewing tobacco is shredded tobacco leaves that have been cured and flavored (Figure 6). The use of chewing tobacco is relatively self-explanatory; you simply put a big wad in one side of your mouth and chew on it. Chewing tobacco doesn't contain as much nicotine as dip, but it produces much more spit. Chewing tobacco has other benefits, as well. Here's what our friend Jesse Ventura said about chewing tobacco in the film Predator : "This shit will turn you into a sexual Tyrannosaurus Rex!" While this has not been scientifically proven, I have generally found this statement to be true in my own experience.
Being avid readers of a website dedicated to manliness, I doubt that you need an explanation of dip. However, for the benefit of the more emasculated readers of Arthur's Hall, please bear with me.
Dip is flavored, ground-up tobacco that comes in a round can (Figure 7). Typically, a pinch of dip is placed in the lower lip. Dip doesn't produce the amount of spit that chewing tobacco does; however, it contains very high amounts of nicotine. Therefore, my analysis concludes that chewing tobacco and dip have the same manliness rating.
