    twist/plug tobacco and other molassesy stuff

    When I lived in maryland, US, I could only find "scrap" style chewing tobacco, and the brands were red man, levi garret, and beech-nut.

    I was lucky in a country-styled tobacco shop to find "days-o-work" plug tobacco, which I liked(though it was scary at first)

    I went into a non-descript tobacco shop for the first time since being in Winston-salem, North Carolina and was excited to see all kinds of wierd shit. Firstly, enormous bags of obvious value-purchase off-brand scrap chewing tobacco, both flavored regularly and "peach". Second, way more brands of plug tobacco, including levi garret, days-o-work and something I can't remember.

    and I was most surprised to find Twist! It was styled like those car-magnet ribbons you see. the problem is that the bags it was in were obviously not air-tight; and it looked like it was from another decade, and it was rock hard. I assumed it shouldn't be, so I'm a bit saddened that they didn't have fresh twist for me to try. I guess its use is just about done with historically?

    who is the consumer base for these products? I certainly would like to try it, but I'm wierd. I was wondering if anyone has insight into the dark world of smokeless tobacco the average person hasn't heard of?

      i am from alabama and there is a large selection of twist and plug tobacco on the shelves. i have tried a lot of twist and most of them are hard as a rock. even the ones i bought that where in airtight bags where fairly dry and tough. i am going home for christmas. message me if you would like me to pick up some twist for you and mail them.

        I'm curious, how is it chewed if it's rock hard? I know you have to cut off a piece- does it become soft in your mouth or just remain like a tobacco rock?

          The twists and bits that I know get soft within minutes of use, even when they're dried out and hard. I think it's just that the sugar needs to resolve again. Absolutely no problem, but besides of that the stuff tastes the fresher the better.

          Cheers!

              The grocery store I work for sells Day's Work plugs, but I've yet to witness a single customer purchase a box. Do you need to spit with tobacco plugs? I have no knowledge about them, so I'd like to know.

                I chewed Levi plug sometimes back when I was a teenager, and yes you spit just like regular leaf chewing tobacco...

                  Just opened a package of Piccanell twists. WOW wow WOW.

                  Unga bunga...tastes like Grov. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (and that's a very guttural mmmmm). Makes me feel manly.

                  I didn't think I'd like these things 'cos there's wicked small. I was kinda pissed when the order came in as I thought they'd be bigger. I don't think I could handle them being bigger though. I do use 2 at once but they have plenty of flavor Plenty. I dumped it after an hour but even at that point I'd say it still had 50% of the flavor left...but probably no nicotine. I did feel the nic. 2 twist pieces was like a regular portion, to me, as far as nic goes...but it did take a few squeezes to get it going. I'm definitely going to explore more of the twist products. Oliver Twist bergamont is up next then I have to buy more.

                    I'd really like to try the General and Roda Tobacco Cuts. They seem made like the Oliver Twists, but big. Though they are very hard to get.

                      Yeah I too would like to try the RL or General cuts. It's a shame they can't keep them consistent / cheap enough to produce for mass marketing.
