what tobacco is used in skoal classic?

[norest]

That's all I'm wondering. Dad's been Dippin since before I was kickin. Wanna make some my own dip.

I think workhorse_01 had a good skoal recipe. He hasn't been on the forum for about a year so you'll have to search through his posts: http://fairtradetobacco.com/search.php?searchid=585380

I could be wrong, it could have been Copenhagen. I'm not a dipper.

Workhorse_01 liked Copenhagen as far as I can tell. Here's one of his first recipes.


"Ok first test 6 tobacco leaves,one cup water, one tablespoon of sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon double acting baking powder(great value wally-world brand), 1/2 teaspoon natural hickory liquid smoke. boil everything but the tobacco flour 2 min. then turn down to low and add sived tobacco flour stir constantly 5 min. remove and with a table spoon press out water through a fine screen ( dont drink the tea !!!!!!! IT'S TOO STRONG) .Pack tobacco in to an old copenhagen can and wait a week ( I think ) I'll let you know. I tryed a small clump of the tobacco and WOW what a buzzzzzz ! about 5 x the first time i tryed cope so I'll wait the week or maybe two days. LOL"

Or check out this link for skoal and copenhagen.

I'm growing several Brazilian plants this year, thanks to some great seed from P.O. Green, Knucklehead, DGBAMA and Bob! I did notice that there are several types listed at Northwood Seeds as well. Have you tried Black Mammoth? I've heard that this also is good for this, I just might try again this year.

Definitely check out: http://northwoodseeds.com

Also, WLT is currently out of Mata Fina, but should get some sometime soon. Fire Cured and Dark Air are also listed in commercial brands, and http://www.WholeLeafTobacco.com has both of those in stock.

Wow that many plants you must have a big area to plant.

Just how big a number is a brazilian?

No, not really a big space here, but a corner lot, with 2 big areas to grow. Plus, as is common here in Arizona, a 5 ft concrete privacy wall built around the whole backyard. LOL, Brazilian is the number right after a Gazillion I believe. I believe it's out in space somewhere, they use it to measure far reaching galaxies.

Brasil Bahia, Brasil Dunkel, Jorge Grande from Brazil.

Sorry Dave I couldn't resist it

I believe it comes from a joke relating to one of your previous presidents, Bush the Elder.

When told there had been an attack on a UN compound and that three Brazilian soldiers were killed.

He responded with that is terrible mobilise, make sure the next of kin are being informed and then turned to an aid and asked how big a number is a brazilian

Like Dave mentioned, according to U.S. Smokeless Tobacco, they use Dark Fire and Dark Air. I'd be willing to bet it's Dark Air. Dark Air has a peppery kick though once you get through whatever flavorings or additives are used. That peppery flavory is gone altogether by the time it becomes Skoal Classic (processing/flavoring)
