Here's something to consider. What try to mimic Cope? Learn how to make your own, suited to your particular tastes. Once you do you'll probably throw all your store bought Cope away. A lot of guys join this forum wanting to know how to make Marlboro's etc. Once they make their own blend they all pretty much have the same comments... They never new what garbage they were smoking until they made their own from whole leaf.
Also, most of these dip recipes are ridiculously complicated. I think that they believe if you want a good product you have to jump through a tremendous amount of hoops.
