Because it's tobacco .. why not
Great Meadows , NJ... summer of 79 .... either of three
Beechnut
Redman
Levi Garrett
I don't remember which was first but i settled on Beechnut . It was the thing to do playing baseball . Hell , remember guys like Carlton Fisk with their cheeks potruding out , lol , shit yes ! Yes ... spitting the biggest puddle in the dugout was impressive . It's funny looking back . If we would have smoked a cigarette or cigar , our coach would have flipped out ... but chewing tobacco was fine , thankfully and none of the parents said anything about it .. it was freaking baseball
I bought a pouch of Chattanooga Chew a little while back , for fun . It was ok . I'm just not into chewing

Copenhagen Long Cut when I was a teenager.. and it had me dry heaving after about 10 minutes.

I never did dip. Part of it was probably because I commented once about how good it smelled in the can and my dad took me by the shoulder and said "I ever see a wad of that shit in your mouth I'll kick your ass so hard you'll wear it as a hat". I'm 44 & my dad just had his 67th birthday. I'm pretty sure he can still kick my ass & I'm no stranger to violence lol

1972 was the first chew, Amarillo, Texas. It was , 'cause I'm a Beech-Nut nut! Or I was. Once I found a molassesed up grasshopper that got ran through the rollers in a pouch. I think that's when I switched to Red Man.
It think Levi Garrett is the best chew, I like them sweet. Red Man was a little thin to me.
I found Copenhagen in 1975 and that was all she wrote. I dipped that nectar of the gods for over 40 years.

10 years old, Copenhagen, turned green and puked, never liked that crap afterwards. I did chew a lot of leaf and plug cut chew in my teens and twenties though, and liked it quite a bit. Beech Nut, Red Man, Days Work. I don’t chew at all anymore, haven’t in years. I’d try some of those again for nostalgia sake, if they even still make it.

I think that I tried Skoal first and I wasn’t impressed. I enjoyed Kodiak Wint for some years but Copenhagen hit on all cylinders.

Redman Golden was my first and last. Threw up so hard I thought I was going to die. This wasn't in my youth, it was only last year.
