I'm intrigued by this statement out of a page https://julianstockwin.com/2013/10/17/prick-perique-or-plug/
"The perique was left to cure for some time and when unbound revealed strong smelling black tobacco, which was cut into plugs for chewing or smoking in a pipe. If the binding had been spun yarn, the Stockholm tar used in the preparation of the rope added a special dimension to the taste and colour of the tobacco…"
This is what Copenhagen smells and taste like. I'm sure of it. I don't know how they add it to the dip safely but I've got to figure it out. In the statement above, the rope smell saturates thru the canvas and permeates the tobacco. "special dimension to the taste".
.I just finished a batch and it's in the fridge. I got enough tobacco dried to cook another 40 cans. I would like to figure this out. Can it be as simple as buying some of this rope, lopping off a small piece and aging the dip in it. I want to find out. That's where my heads at right now.
