I just smoked cigarettes and drank the bier and vodka I could. I tried chew when I was 18. Gross.

It was great. Haven't seen any in 10 years. Might have sold the couch.

Copenhagen

Apple Jack. 6th grade, chewing in the untility shed at Mountain View and spitting in a paint can before football practice. Red Man and Beechnut were also popular at the time.

By high school, you'd better be moving on to Copenhagen unless you wanted to get mocked or beat up. I remember the first few times I tried Copenhagen thinking to myself that getting beat up might not be so bad.

No one dared mock my Apple Jack chaw to my face.

Duh. What did you think I'd have? Also the Red Man to Copenhagen transition in 9th grade put mega hair on my balls. Looked like a damn afro.

PurpleThrobber

One of my two dads chewed Cope constantly. In a pinch (SWIDT?), The Throbber would pack a two finger dip of that shit. But the cool minty flavor of Skoal drove the rodeo/skiier chicks crazy. Nothing like a night of drinking and sharing a chew cup and then getting nekked.

I tried hard to get into Copenhagen but after the snus explosion in my Lander Hall dorm room freshman year, I had to call a quick. Those tins are so damn flimsy.

I had my first chew fly fishing in the Big Wood River in Ketchum, Idaho. Age 13. I think it was beech-nut (close 2nd to me to Red Man). I was living the Hemingway lifestyle way before Pup.

Copenhagen

I started with Kodiak at age 13 and stuck with it through HS graduation then quit for three years.

Three years later my friends and I ate mushrooms at our house in the U district and walked around town and campus all day. Someone had some Redman and man that made the trip fun. Bad choice though. I was instantly addicted.

A few months later, after toying with red man, beechnut, and some different plugs, I permanently switched to copenhagen.

Here I am at 49 going through a can of it per day. FYFMFE

This thread is a good example of how 99% of you goofs felt about Petersern after 2 years. Of course Master Puppy provided the reality then, much like he is now regarding Lasmbright. Slowly, 1 X 1, you stubborn 3rd graders will come around to puppy's teachings. I got nothing but time. You guys have to a slave 12-hour days to put cabbage water and dry bread on the table, leaving little time to research tthe truths regarding husky football. Pup has it all stored upstairs, hee lived it 1st hand and in depth, close to the scene the last 30 years. You guys can Google-cheat to catch up. Consider it analogous to an open book test. Bone up butthuffs, then come back for discussion. As is, its like sharing threads on open season . No wonder Derek can't keep this place solvent.

I'll be relaxing with a laphroaig-15 and a fat juicy Copenhagen between the cheek and gum (As ole Earl Campbell used to say), waiting foot my pupils to come forward, 1X1, with their newly discovered truths regarding my favorite past time.

If I'm out on river limiting on summer run (river opened today...of course I bagged my limit after 15 minutes, while most went fishless after 5 hours). When your summer home resides on the bank of the best Puget sound steelhead drainage, it comes easy. Sorry i digress, and my point was that if I'm out on the river banks with my champion upland pointers taking in my lavished mountain lifestyle , Ill be back online shortly to grade your work.

The funny part is that this rant probably fits here at least as well as it did wherever he originally posted it.

My first was Beechnut, in a boat with my grandpa at Potholes, when I was about 12. He had to hold me by the ankles when I started yakking...it was the same with my first beer, whiskey, cigar...hell of a summer right there. Moved on to Apple Jack, Levi, Red Man. Started on Cope after that, the curse of playing / coaching baseball. Doing it 'Puppy Style" right now, with a Knob Creek 100 and a pinch...

That Swedish General Snus that's been for sale a couple years is good chit, different.

Apple Jack was apple juice and Yukon Jack - 1 to 1 ratio. Easy face plant after drinking that shit.

Cigs, then pipe, then cigars then quit. but I still drink Yukon Jack

Used to drop a tin or two full of whiskey in my Skoal. Gave it an extra kick

Nothing better back in the day than some AJ and Bubble Yum for a nice spicy chomlet...

I can (at this point) sprinkle Copenhagen on a salad and eat it (not something I'm proud of, for the record), but if a can of wintergreen Skoal is opened in a room I'm in, I'm heading to the door...way back, I tried "Canadian" Skoal (fine cut like Cope)...it did not end well...
