My third try at homemade dip similar to grizzly snuff finally turned out better than the original. Here's what I did:
I tried the first rub after 24 hrs on an empty stomach, it was excellent. Made my head spin a little, and I've been chewing copenhagen and grizzly since I was 14.
Better after 1-2 weeks rest.
