I have been a fan of all forms of tobacco at one time or another. The pipe is the only thing that stuck. I started chewing when I was a wee lad while hunting with dad and brother and other manly men he he. One of those "chew this boy, it will put hair on your chest and make a man out of you" sort of things. As I grew up I graduated to mass marketed snuff like chewing tobacco like Copenhagen. Then back to long cut, then on to high quality long cut, then to plugs, the occasional cigar, a brief bout with cigarettes, then the pipe and then a turn into the land of high quality snuff like Fribourg and Treyer Bordeaux, macouba, high dry toast...etc. Now I just smoke a pipe and every once in a while have a good cigar or a nice pinch of snuff. I haven't chewed in a long time, but I do remember that the higher quality chewing tobacco was much much better than the mass produced stuff.
