Anyone dip?
Recently moved to lower Manhattan and having a hard time finding dip (I know, gross habit). Duane Reade seems to carry nothing but skoal/kodiak mint. Any fellow monkeys share my habit and know of a place that regularly carries Copenhagen?
Used to occasionally but haven't bought in a year or so. I've been able to get Grizzly and some Snus at bodegas (never bought cope because i'm classless) --- I'd imagine they have a wider selection. No one dips in the northeast and it seems like drug stores are phasing out tobacco on the whole and oftentimes lack dip around here, but I generally see the best tobacco selection there. Also 7/11 should have everything, but those are almost all around the gramercy area afaik
Dipping is horrible.
Damn right it's gross. In the Army I was constantly cussing at/getting pissed at (depending on rank of course) people who were leaving their nasty-ass dip bottles in the command post that my team had to clean up.
I could be mistaken, but I think the ban on shipping Tobacco to New York only impacted cigarettes. If that's correct it's probably much cheaper to get it online.
This shit does happen. Generally, smoking the dog shit out of the culprit resolves the issue. If they outrank you, then add it to you reasons why you hate the army. Personally, I always kept my spitters relatively fresh. No older than 24 hours and under the top part of the label.
OP -- I know you're asking about dip, but as a former dipper and otherwise degenerate abuser of nicotine products (gum, lozenges, Blu disposable vape pen, and cigs on and off), I highly recommend a relatively new product called "Zyn". They're pouches similar to snus, made in / imported from Sweden, containing nicotine salts derived from tobacco but not containing any actual tobacco. They come in white plastic containers same size and shape as a dip can, are available in a variety of delicious flavors (I'm partial to coffee and cinnamon), and pack either 3 mg or 6 mg of nicotine per pouch (I use 6 mg -- delivers a great buzz even after years of nicotine use). You tuck them in your upper lip and there's no excess salivation -- so no need to carry around a dippy cup or bottle.
Maybe worth a shot if you run across them in the city and want to keep your habit (which apparently some people regard as disgusting... triggered) under the radar.
I need to look into this. Thank you!
My buddy bought some after a night out at the bar from 7/11
My buddy dealt with the same thing out in Seattle...here's what to do. Go on a website called Northerner and order tubs of Stokers. Definitely not the same quality as cope but the wintergreens are at least similar in taste. A tub is 10 cans worth and around $15..best deal out there, especially if you're in a city where cans aren't on every corner. If NY is weird and doesn't let the site ship to you then call up a friend and have him Fed-ex some logs to you.. Best of luck #dbh
Kodiak Ice is one step beneath Copenhagen in terms of kick. Plus, punching the bear can be a stress reliever. Nothing beats the cope though. Btw you are a dick, I am craving a dip bad. it has been 11 years. Fucking a.
Hahahah apologies. To be an even bigger dick, I found the "shangri-la" of Manhattan dip sales, NYC Smoke Shop on John Street. Huge selection of pussy dips (aka Skoal and Kodiak) and Copenhagen! Owner reorders supplies on a weekly basis.
I've helped farm it but never partook. The cool thing is all the hard part of farming it is during the late summer where it's about 90-100 degrees with 100% humidity.
I haven't in a few months, trying to quit. But I chew Levi Garrett which is actual tobacco leaves and has a great malted/caramel flavor.
It tastes like molasses and raisins and has a pleasant texture. Better than Beechnut which is too sweet for me.
One word: Juul.
Skoal (Originally Posted: 10/09/2008)
Does anyone dip at work?
No, definitely do not. But I love skoal and snus by camel.
One night when I was working on a deal with an analyst this summer, a VP in my group came over and asked the analyst for some. The analyst opened his cabinet and pulled it out, then gave some to the VP. I think genearlly people don't do it unless it's late at night or their office door is closed.
i used to see cups of dips in the bathroom stalls..ive heard though that on the trading floors in charlotte, people dip
that always had a dip in at work...I usually put mine in after everyone left or on the weekends. I was always amazed that during phone conferences when one of my superiors put a chaw in.
wtf kind of second-tier shops do you people work for?
Dipping has nothing to do with where you work.
Does anyone know if or when they are coming out with new flavors?
Sure it does... because I'm going to guess that it's a southern thing, thus, most people talking about this are working at second-tier places such as Walk-all-ova-ya or BofA... have never encountered any NY bankers who dip... at least not at work.
Alot of NY bankers dip at work. I probably worked at a much less prestigious firm than yours, though, b2. So that would make sense why you've never encountered it.
But actually, I don't see it happen until late at night. People generally do it to stay awake, not to get their nicotine fix. And it has a lot to do with group culture. We had a pretty tight knit culture. The analysts in my group had so much dirt on everyone else (or participated in it with everyone) that I doubt seeing someone dipping would have any effect on their level or respect for someone.
I just figured maybe people did it to relax or it gives them something else to do along with work. Most people pack lips when their bored, I do.
I'm sure at some of the top places people dip but my guess would also be late at night.
Favorite Skoal brand (Originally Posted: 03/26/2007)
With the grand opening of the Citrus brand this weekend, I figured it would be a good time to ask what everyone's favorite brand is?

Skoal Snus (Originally Posted: 03/17/2011)
I have not been a fan at all of 'snus' since their recent introduction to the us market. However, skoal recently release their version and it isn't that bad. It is nothing like a fat lip of long cut, but when you need to be in a situation where spitting into a bottle would be bad, give them a try. They are discreet and can help you keep your sanity during meetings and whatnot.
Yea I hate snus but I recently got bitched at for dipping while on the phone so its all I have to keep my temper in check
buysnus.com. real snus. back in undergrad Id buy it from sweden every couple weeks. perfect for class and a much much better buzz then the 'snus' they sell in the US. nicotine content is much much higher. i usually get the Thunder Frost and the Oden Extra Strong. absolute money. wont regret it
New Skoal? (Originally Posted: 04/20/2011)
Anyone else try it yet?
Come on ya cunts, no one tried it?
Skol Rich Blend is pretty clutch.
Agree.
agreed also, rich blend is delish, but i think you might be talking about "southwest" blend not sure if thats correct but its something along those lines. Also very good... But GRIZZLY is the way to go!
Gettin my Dip Fix in Europe (Originally Posted: 11/23/2011)
Moved to Ireland back in the summer for work, and brought over what I thought were enough tins, turns out kicking the tin a day habit is tough as shit.
What do you guys recommend in terms of getting my fix over here? cause I don't wanna pick up smokin
it's really hard to find dip in europe. I spent a summer in the UK with a couple of guys on my wrestling team. We ended up going to sweden for a couple days and loaded up on chew/snus there. Somebody we met towards the end of the trip said we probably could have had it shipped to us in london, so you might try that.
I had it shipped over by friends in the US. Literally the only way to get what we traditionally think of as Dip in the US.
Any snus available in Ireland? I know it sucks, but it's better than nothing...
Nah there's no snus...ive had people ship it before, but its been about 50/50 in terms of the package not getting through customs..so it turns into paying round 8-9 a tin if it even gets through
The EU bans snus in all but Scandinavian countries. Believe it or not, Sweden wouldn't join unless it got an exemption for snus.
I just swallowed my dip (Originally Posted: 02/07/2012)
