Dip question? Flavor recommendations?

[vogi tobacco]

Greetings dippers.

I know people dont post in here all that often BUT...

I used to dip YEARS ago. I now snus, but sometimes miss dipping. I was in high school when I dipped every day, so I could not really try all the flavors. I dipped skoal most of the time. (I know, I know...) But I recently picked up some Cope Black... (It is ok... not too great) and cope Southern Blend. I loved the southern blend.

Since I snus constantly, I felt more comfortable packing it upper decker. I have total control over it, and I don't throw a huge pinch in. I notice I spit less. SO... Technique, control, and what not, I guess you can say I am a dip expert, due to dipping in the past, and knowing how to control it because I use snus... but other then THAT, I am fairly new to dip. (because I have not dipped for a long time, and don't really know the flavors.)

Are there any flavors out there that I should try? I don't care too much for wintergreen. From what I remember, I liked most of skoal, I LOVE southern blend, and I hated all Kodiak. The kodiak, to me tasted like dog shit. Any dip I should try? And no don't tell me to go dip skoal berry. lol

I have always recommended Copenhagen original long cut (gold lid) and Copenhagen Snuff (silver lid) to dippers that have not tried them. They are, in my opinion, the finest natural dips out there. They are nowhere near as sweet as southern blend, but I and many of my friends who dip like them. Personally I prefer the long cut as I find it to be easier to pinch and more comfortable in the lip. Also, one of my other favorite dips is Timberwolf Peach, which has a sweet peachy taste that is not overbearing IMO. It's about a dollar cheaper than cope here in my little corner of Appalachia, and the cut and leaf quality are noticeably lower, but it's a nice way to mix things up. Also, it is weaker than cope, so I can throw in a large, satisfying pinch without puking. Also, it stays in place much better than cope and packs very well.

I dip once in a while and usually go with Grizzly Straight. Cope's straight is tasty too.
