Hooch Snuff Reviews
Hooch Herbal Snuff (Review by TrojanScott)
Best stuff. Must buy the Spitfire Chew over the Mint. Mint isn't bad on taste, it's actually quite good, but the Spitfire Chew is a lot better. The consistency is closer to Cope. Pretty fine stuff, and actually not very sticky (like the other two brands are.) It's the closest to actual dip when you open the can. The can itself is tin, which is kinda cool. I have to give this stuff an extra credit grade of "F" for it taking a half hour to open, however. No way can you run your fingernail across this can and open it. It took a steak knife and half a finger nail for me to get the first can open, and when I did, I lost half the can to the kitchen floor. (if it were real dip, I'd have scooped that shit right back into the can, but with this, I just swept it up into the trash can.) Okay... back to the review... Hooch makes this stuff with some sort of peppers and tabasco included! This gives the dip a little "kick" and you can actually feel a little burn against your gum. The flavor lasts for a bit, (again, better with JD poured in, but that's me) but not quite as long as SMC, but still pretty good. Spit factor is good too. Clean up isn't as easy as Bacc-Off, but not as bad as SMC, it's somewhere in between. I'd actually say it's like Cope would be. Not the easiest, but nothing a couple swirls of water can't fix. Also doesn't leave any coloring on the teeth the way SMC does.
The taste on this really sets it apart from the others, and the little burn you get on your gum really tricks out your brain for a second or two.
- Taste: A
- Consistency B
- Clean up: C
- Spit Factor: B
- OVERALL B+
- Extra credit (can opening) F (this is offset by the extra extra credit score of A+ for having an actual tin can.
UPDATE! New can from Chattanooga is fantastic! One of their reps emailed me and sent me two new cans, which they realized were an issue, and they are awesome! Not only tin, which is cool, but easy to open! I used my finger nail to cut the paper on the sides, and it popped open nice and easy. Kudos to a company that saw a problem with their product, and fixed it! This really just re-emphasizes that if you are trying to quit, and need help with a smokeless chew, this brand is the absolute best.

Wintergreen has good flavor, straight did not taste like Cope to me at all, more like tea. Overall, the Cayanne pepper is over done and over powers the flavor. Moist somewhat gritty, but pack is best of the bunch, product did not float nearly as much as the rest. Wintergreen is way better than straight. My second favorite.

Hooch has a good product and real good customer service. Shipped fast & cheap. Good flavor & burn, a little fine and dry for me, and it turned my teeth green. Tossing out a dip almost requires a toothbrush afterwards - it gets everywhere.

Jake's Mint Chew - Cherry (Review by jimmykeeper)
Tried the Jake's Cherry Chew and as a former Skoal Cherry user, I must say this stuff was pretty good.
I am still not a huge fan of the consistency of the Jake's cut, as it is very bulkie and doesn't pack as nicely as Hooch or SMC, but flavorwise the cherry tasted pretty good and Chewie's "Wild Cherry" Lifesavers analogy from his review is accurate.
I still give the edge to Hooch Cherry over Jake's Cherry (SMC makes a cherry as well but it is ridiculously sweet and not great), only because Hooch packs much better.
However, if curious, especially if you are a former fruity/cherry flavor dipper, then this stuff is worth checking out.

Wintergreen has weak flavor, gritty and fine, pack is adequate. Probably the best for you out of all I tried.
Oregon Mint Snuff (Review by elkhills)
My least favorite, very little flavor in the 2 I tried (Mint and Wintergreen called Beaver Chew). Sticky and clumpy like I remember Hawken being. In fact now that I think about it... this is the Hawken of the fake chews in many ways.
