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?
