Smokeless Alternatives

Part of the reason that quitting chew is so difficult is that it’s not just a mental & chemical battle. There is also a very physical part of breaking nicotine’s hold on us. For some of us, the oral fixation is one of the most difficult parts of our quits. If you’ve had something in your lip/mouth for the past 15 years your body gets used to it… take that away (along with all the nicotine that you’re losing) and you’re bound to be a little on the irritable side. Below is a list of alternatives to smokeless tobacco (also known as fake dip or fake tobacco) that will help you get past the oral fixation.

I’ve been a dipper for years and I’ve “quit” several times. My main chew was Copenhagen wintergreen and I could never find anything that could substitute well enough. Recently however I was able to quit successfully using jalepenos. It sounds weird and it kinda is but I always loved pretending my food was dip when I would eat just for the feel of it. I was looking through my fridge to see if there was anything I could do to mimic the wintergreen burn and flavor. I saw the jalepenos and I figured what the hell. After I tried it with a few slices of pickled jalepenos I was satisfied with the way it tasted and spit and the texture didn’t bother me because there was the spice of the jalepenos that gave me the burn I needed. The problem was they dont stay together and you just struggle keeping the jalepenos together so I tried it with some jalepenos in an empty tea bag and it worked!!! Try it out and see if it works for you!

I’m currently on my first can of fully loaded Wintergreen full strength nicotine I plan on getting the half strength and then the zero to help me quit. I do have one question though since this is not tobacco is it considered more safe?

Chewed/dipped Grizzly Straight Long Cut for 12 years. Promised myself and my fiance I would quit. Now 2 weeks without and have tried Triumph chew, and Bacc-Off. Neither one has the texture/consistency of the real stuff, obviously. But neither one is long cut enough like Grizzly long cut to have it pack really well and not fall apart in your mouth. Is there anything out there that is a true “long cut”, similar to Grizzly long cut? Any cans that have a Straight flavor? Long cut/texture and packing is more important to me I guess. Wish it would stop falling apart!

I chewed Grizzly Straight myself and have tried nearly every non-tobacco alternative out there. Smokey Mountain Straight is closest in flavor, but doesn’t feel or pack like tobacco, but you may like it. After lots of trial and errors my recommendations are rough cut Hooch Keylime (I know I was shocked, too as I never like flavored tobacco) and Hooch rough cut Cherry (close to Straight flavor). Hooch packs and feels like tobacco. I wish they would develop a Straight flavor! I recently have been able to purchase some Tough Guy Herbal Chew: Wintergreen and Orange. Both pack and feel like tobacco. I never liked Wintergreen chew, but did like the Tough Guy. And I really like Orange – my favorite non-tobacco chew! The only issue is they’re often out of stock.

BRILLIANT, thank GOD I have thought about this for years and doing this, I just had the balls to look it up and you are already doing it!!!! You did it, corse I have never tried one of your products….but this is exactly what I wanted to make, a replacement for the chew, or my DIP. What do you have that is the closest to Skoal long cut winter green, or a long cut wintergreen even similar to Kodiac? I cant afford to buy every tin until i find one I like…, so you must know or have something….20 years ago I chewed very similar to skoal long cut…. meaning it had the same texture, but it was ginger. It sucked but it was an idea that I thought I would try for guys that dip/chew. I have tried sun flower seeds and I have tried jerky….I hope that someone gets back to me.

Amarillo Snuff Company has tobacco free with or without nicotine. Original or wintergreen. I bought the original with nicotine today. Way better than Smokey Mountain. I too dipped copenhagen. I’m gonna order the tobacco free, nicotine free original next, as the store here didn’t carry it. It was like 4.75 a can at store, but if you order it it’s that plus 4.00 shipping. I don’t care as long I quit the Copenhagen. It does say they’ll send a free sample can to you on their website. You may have to pay the 4.00 shipping on it, I’m not sure I haven’t tried to get a free sample yet.

I’ve been chewing Copenhagen for 30 something years. The only reason why I had to find an alternative was the costs. Paying 140.00 for 5 cans is hard on the acct. So one night on the comp. I’m searching for a better way and find herbal tob. I ordered 3 different types of herbal & found Jakes straight mint herbal the best to mix with Cop.. I never liked mint chew. At 1st I mixed 2 cans of Cop to 1can of this Herbal. After a year of chewing it like this, I’m finally mixing 50/50 (1 can cop. long cut to 1 can of jakes mixed together). It is a long cut, it has the texture of a chew. So 20cans of herbal at $5.00/can costs $100.00 plus $11.00/shipping, if you’re only chewing herbal. Smokey Mountain has way to much burn (you’d almost think it was a whole can of cayenne pepper they added to it. Long story short, try the Jakes straight mint, it might work for you.

I have been using all the (fruity) skolas for about 6 years now in long cut and am looking to quit a local tobacco store where I am sells smokey mountain so I picked up a can of grape with high hopes well I just tried it the other day and today and needless to say it felt like hair in my mouth didn’t stay together well but did spit well but horrible to clean up and the flavor didn’t last long as I’m use to keeping mine in for about 45 minutes to a hour… I have been looking at hooch and Jake’s mint but afraid of wasting my money again.

Hooch is good, it has a real nice “feel” to it. Flavor seems to not last as long. The Peach is wonderful and my favorite My favorite, still, 3 years clean from nicotine, is the Triumph Herbal Chew, zero strength (no nicotine), line up. They have an Apple one that is ok. Their classic and Wintergreen is my favorite. Their Mint is solid too, but I was a Wintergreen guy. They also have a cinnamon too that is pretty good. Give them a try. The only complaint I ever had with their product is it does seem to “float” in the mouth a lot. But I feel it’s due to such the fine cut. But they have a great, zero strength, no nicotine product.
I am now only taking a dip, once every couple days. But I will always have a fake can near, in the event I “want” one.
Good luck!

I have been using Skoal Mint Pouches for 10 years, it is now time to quit. Anyone know the best alternative? I want something with similar taste/similar feel. I have tried Baccoff which is my favorite thus far, but the taste is a little off. I prefer moist pouches over dry ones. Although I did like the smokey mountain mint pouches. I just ordered Jakes Mint Pouches, Oregon Mint Snuff, and Triumph Pouches Sampler pack to give these a try. However, if someone has suggestions please feel free to share! I am just looking for something that would be the most similar to Skoal Mint Pouches ; )

Thanks in advance

Hey JT, I was going to suggest the Zero Strength (no Nicotine) mint Triumph. It is made with mint leaves…and it’s solid! I was a Skoal Wintergreen user when I dipped, but I too dipped and awful lot of the Skoal mint. That said, I have not tried their Mint pouches, I did try the Wintergreen ones and they were moist. I was a loose user, never used the pouches when I dipped. But I wanted to try their pouches.
Please let everyone know your opinion on the products…lots of people come here to read up on them.

After chewing for 45 years I was told I had to quit in order to get a total hip replacement. I went cold turkey ! I used TEA BAGS cut in half as my substitute.Have not had one since Feb 6 2017. Still get the urge, but it’s not for the nicotine, it’s just for something in between the lip and gum !

Dang Allen, Here I thought I was the one with the longevity on chewing. I started 40 years ago and recently finished my last can of Copenhagen snuff. The 1st couple of days weren’t bad but now I feel my body craving nicotine. I’m using Jakes cinnamon to try and take off the edge. It’s okay but nothing is going to replace the original I feel. Anyone know how long until the nicotine cravings subside?

Daniel, I’m right there with you. I chewed Cope fine cut for the better part of 40 years and just quit December 14th. I know I’m beyond the nicotine but man the flavor and the feel of not having it in my lip is what’s killing me. I just ordered some Hooch classic and of course it’s been delayed in shipping. Hoping it is at least a good flavor and feel.

I started chewing in high school after some of my teammates convinced me to pick up the habit. Through the past 7 years, I have made countless attempts to quit. I will be fine and dip-free until it comes time to cut weight. The metabolism booster of dip keeps my weight down and spitting off water weight also helps. It’s gotten to the point of not just craving nicotine, but having an oral craving of something being there. I’m tired of lying to myself and telling myself I will be done after this next weigh-in. I want to quit now. Anyone know of an alternative dip to keep the metabolism boost of dip?

Hows it going. A little off topic but I’ve been dipping for about 8-9 years now. I prefer the long cut stuff. Like the way it packs. I’ve been a grizzly fan but switched to cope for a while. I’ve been trying to quit for a few months. I can’t find anything that has the flavor or packs like the long cut. Is there anything out there that does? I’ve tried the jakes mint chew and the cowboy coffee but not a fan. I was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on something that both packs better and has decent flavor. Thank you.

Hey Michael, I’d say try the Smokey Mountain , both the Straight and the Classic flavors. They are close to the taste. It seems to stay together better than the Mint (Jake’s/Triumph/Elicit) based ones. I heard the Citrus flavor of Smokey Mountain is good too.
I’d try the Hooch as well, that one has a pretty good consistency too.
I’ve heard the Teaza is a good one too, never tried it, but folks rave about it.
I personally like Triumph, but it likes to get loose in the cheek. They have pouches too, but I like the loose stuff. Beware though, some of these fake dips, Triumph included, make their dips in zero strength (no nicotine) and half to full strength (with nicotine). I DO NOT AND WILL NOT use that shit ever again, so its only Zero Strength or no nicotine fake dips for me.
The secret to it, to pretend that Grizzly/Cope (for me it was Skoal Wintergreen ) is no longer being made and you have to switch to a different flavor. Try a few of them, they’re are some really, REALLY, good, nicotine free dips out there today.
Good luck

Hey guys,
I’m just totally new to this fake dip campaign that half of the people have regard to. I’m quite flattered with JAYP’s personal opinions and thoughts on the subsitute chemical.

But me as an EX-Smoker, I have stopped cold-turkey for about 8months (the strong reason behind it, was the suffering of a severe anxiety disorder – which could be relevant to the nicotine which enters and affects the central nervous system?)

Unfortunately, I got quite a relief, then decided to oke again unconditionally – maybe it was the source of distraction that comes from your friends bad habits smoking around you? (I don’t know) but eventually, I decided to stop again, however, this time I chose these filtered-tobacco pouches so called “Chaini Khaini” which is an Indian product which has easier use than filling the room with carbon monoxide from a ciggy.

I have been addicted for 2years, but I have NO clue whatsoever, of knowing how to stop the bad habbit once and for all. My psychiatrist (who has been helping with my Anxiety symptoms that I have for 2years now) prescribed me a medicine that helps – as she claimed it would naturally inhibit dopamine hormones to relax me without the discourage to get up and use pouches.
The medicine was Cefuzime (which is a Cefuroxime axetil) 500mg dose.

I have used it gradually one pill a day, and the overall, the effects are good. I have decreased from taking 2packets (containing 20pouches) to 4pouches (which is not even half a packet)

I do not recommend, nicotine-gums unless you’re one heck of an addicted (sorry for this word) moron! Because like one of the members below, depicted a theory saying;
“Using anything that contains Nicotine is masking, and not quitting” but neither is it TRYING to quit at all!

These are just my point of views, so please don’t get offended, or feel accused. I myself, am also seeking help! So we’re all on the same page here… 😛

Hey Kareem,
I’m just going to say…whatever works to keep you away from nicotine, use it.
Although I thoroughly enjoyed the non tobacco/nicotine versions, they do somewhat drag out the habit of popping substance in your lip, then spitting. I still, well over 2 years quit, use the fake alternatives. BUT, I do not use them frequently. Maybe 1-2 a day, sometimes, time goes by and I might not even take one. They have helped me combat the oral fixation that the smokeless addict (in this case, me) faces when wanting to quit. I would gladly chew these products the rest of my living days, then ever return to the real products.
I still, on occasion, use sunflower seeds. They are also a wonderful tool to combat the oral and spitting fixation…not to mention, in moderation, are healthy, so long you can endure the sodium. I have tried the lower sodium variety, but they just don’t do it. So I only use them once in a while. Gum…is my latest friend. I do chew gum more often now than I ever have. I’ve had no fake dips yet today, I’ve had one handful of seeds and 1 piece of gum and I’ve been up for 8 hours so far today. This in contrast of CONSTANTLY needing something in my cheek all day when I first started the quit. In short, all of these things work….but I agree, you have to get further and further away from the nicotine crutch. These tools do work and once you make up the decision to quit, stay quit. And the longer you stay away, the more you will not go back. It would be stupid of me to return now. And I also know (from a past failed attempt at quitting), there is NO such thing as “one dip”. I am an addict. I cannot have one dip. I am done, which means no dip, no cigarette with my beer, no cigar or pipe at the bachelor party….NO MORE NICOTINE in any form.
And I have to say, I am a very happy man without that shit. Its been a journey and it’s not been easy (if it were, we’d all be quit), but I made the right choice…I am no longer an addict.
Good luck to you, if you are going to quit, you are at the right place, many will help you, WANT to help you. I would recommend (I never did) joining the forums here, strength is in the numbers. I was able to find a few good people that had the same goals as me on these threads and we all discussed our quit. It was very good and I hope they are all still quit. I haven’t heard from any of them in a while. I only pop in and out of here these days, mostly to offer a hand or some advice and to rebuke a few trolls who think its cool to come on a wonderful quit site and talk shit to people trying to help others quit.
You take care and I hope you get moving on the quit, remain quit and help others, that’s how it works here!
God Bless and have a Merry Christmas!

What you lack is proper motivation to quit. Try getting cardiovascular disease, a heart attack and a few Stents placed in your arteries. That’s where I’m at. Unfortunately that is what it took to get me to the point of really addressing the quitting aspect. Tried many times before over the last 40 years and wasn’t successful. I am determined finally on kicking this issue.

None of them are close. I have tried all of them, most people on these sites “Rave” over Triumph or Smokey Mountain, neither was close to real dip in terms of flavor or texture and just ended up making me more upset. It is obvious that tobacco companies pay good money to keep people from developing a nicotine free version of the real thing. My best advice is to keep yourself busy, find hobbies and try eating healthy/ cooking a lot. With your new lifestyle change you will notice that after your first month you think about dipping less, and it will continue that way until its off your radar…..I don’t recommend trying a courtesy pinch 5 months from now when a friend offers.

Why do you have such a black and white perspective on harm reduction? I have asthma and originally stopped smoking by using nicotine gum. This caused problems with TMJ and multiple dental issues. Next, I moved to smokeless tobacco (i.e. Skoal bandits). Through time, I slowly weaned myself off of the all nicotine. However, trying to make it sound like an all-or-nothing proposition makes you sound like an ideologue who is hellbent on preaching a religious dogma. In the field of addiction medicine, experts regularly substitute one harmful agent for a less harmful agent. While some people are able to quit ‘cold turkey,’ this does not mean that all people are able to achieve complete abstinence.

For example, what is wrong with a nicotine replacement product (lets say fake snuff) that has a lower amount of nicotine. Who cares if the person is still physiologically dependent on nicotine if they are avoiding all of the negative harmful effects of cigarettes. While complete abstinence is a laudable goal, it does not work for a significant number of tobacco users. Given this reality, it is better to be intellectually flexible and realize that treatment strategies are best tailored to individual needs. Black and white-thinking (associated with religiously held ideologies) is at the core of self-defeating behaviors and beliefs. Reduced use or a less harmful nicotine delivery system is a laudable goal in and of itself.

Jay,
the inherited problem with switching from one nicotine habit to another, even though it may be less harmful, is the fact that you are still hooked on the chemical.
Good for you that you were able to go through the several levels of different nicotine products, then was able to just wean yourself off.
I’d estimate that 85% of the nicotine addicts here (including yours truly), couldn’t do that. What happens is you just prolong your dependence on the chemical, thus continuing your usage of the drug.
Let me tell you that I did quit back in the 90’s. Like you, I used the Nicorette gum to accomplish it. I eventually started mixing the gum with regular gum, until I finally ran out of the Nicorette and just chewed regular gum. Mind you, the habit of chewing the gum never stopped, for 6 months! Which, great, whatever, I was off of the nicotine. But, like you, my jaws were HIT! They hurt so bad and I despised it after a while. This leads me into my point.
Fast forward, 6 months after I quit with the Nicorette gum. Me and the boys are standing in waist high waters in waders, in a Northern Michigan river, fishing for the salmon that are running up the river to spawn. All of my buddies, save maybe 1, still chewed the tobacco. I tell you, seeing these guys thumping the can, then popping in a chew, being out in the wilderness, in the river, fishing…I caved and asked for a dip. Upon my return home, I bought a can…a successful 6 month quit, on Nicorette gum, down the drain.
You want to know “why” I feel I have succeeded now, where I once failed?
Because personally, I don’t want to go through the 100 days of hell I went through to get where I am today, FREE of the junk! I think the brain tells you “if you fail, then you just go buy another $30 box of gum and start over”. That certainly is the easier route, than walking through the valley of darkness of a cold turkey quit. I did them both and I can 100% say, the Nicorette route was easier than the cold turkey route. But because it was harder, I respect what I did and am DONE with that shit.
You respect the spoils more, when you go through the war.
Now sure, some people may agree on your point above, harm reduction is better than going full bore, I get that. But if you truly want to quit and remain quit and truly, respect what you did, then there is no other substitute, than cold turkey and endure all of the pure hell that comes with a true cold turkey quit. I do not believe in harm reduction, you’re still hooked. And the likelihood of quitting and staying quit, when moving from one nicotine habit, to another, is less than just quitting cold turkey.
That’s my opinion on it. Not saying that someone cannot quit by moving to a lesser nicotine product (I did…and failed), just saying that you probably will not quit or remain quit.

Yes, Petri dishes AND the final product, can contain carcinogens. Read the entire report, get your facts straight, then come back when you are completely informed.

All are more than welcome to not quit cold turkey, but on this site, that is the ideology. Plain and simple.
Saying that, using a nicotine “replacement” for “quitting” is really an oxymoron, with emphasis on the “moron”. This is just my opinion, but any type of nicotine is masking…. not quitting.

After loosing family to both drug addiction and family I agree… Some people can’t quit cold turkey, their mind and body is not prepared for the withdrawals which is mostly mental. Most people who quit don’t know that quitting anything is a mental battle of wits between you and your addiction and you have to know every thing about what it is and what it’s doing. After smoking cigarettes for almost 35 years I quit cold turkey and found this out, how I immediately gained weight (which no my diet didn’t change) and seemed to cause fights with friends and family — but once I realized it was the withdrawal setting up these situation I used what I call the suction cup method, that there were thousands of nicotine suction cups on my brain and that every day one was being taken off, also that they were causing the stress in my life because they wanted me to “go back to smoking”. After about a year they calmed way down… and I have never smoked at all.

But some people just can’t win that mental battle… for instance we’ve all seen movies of when a woman’s been heartbroken she runs to the fridge for a pint of ice cream… the realization though is that the ice cream is very likely reason she’s had the problems that’s made her cry as her body is craving the ingredients and therefore causes situations in her mind to make her eat it — Until she sees that she’ll just continue to eat the ice cream and feel a bit powerless and then horrible after she splurges…

So it’s the same with nicotine or any other addictive food/substance/action and really just about everything we do is an addiction or habit… What’s ironic is a few years later you see how it was such a waste of your time and money and how you feel so much more empowered, but sometimes baby steps are needed…

Zero Strength Triumph Mint is a very, VERY good mint product in my opinion.
Artic Ice by Smokey Mountain is also a good Mint product.
Oregon Mint makes mint products, I’m not a fan, but some folks like it.
Hooch has a Mint flavor. Hooch, in my opinion, has the best “feel” of natural tobacco, but I think the flavor is bland and runs out fast.
Holt has an interesting Peppermint flavor…it’s made from. Alfalfa, so the color is greenish…it too is a little bland, but gives you a minty flavor.
My overall opinions on mint, Triumph Zero Strenght mint is #1, Artic Mint Ice, by Smokey Mountain is #2.
Try them and give everyone here your opinion.
Good Luck!

Reply to  Dev Taylor

Dev, I agree with Chewie, any of these fake dips are you g to be better options. What I think you asked was “safe for the gums”. I think anything, whether it be fair dip, sunflower seeds, or even a piece of candy, that you fuck between the gum and cheek, will cause irritation. Maybe not nearly as bad as tobacco, but it will irritate it. I used shower seeds a lot at the beginning of my quit and it did wrinkle the cheek some. I did feel that some of the fake dips did that too (Triumph included). If it’s truly gum healing you’re looking to accomplish, I’d probably just stick with chewing gum.
This is not to say that some of these alternatives will have the same effect it did for me. But at least for me, anything I put between the lip, cheek and gums…seems to irritate them…some, but not nearly as bad as tobacco did for years. Triumph is a wonderful product that I found “worked” for me. If you try it, please put your opinions on it, out here…people want to see them.
Good Luck Dev!

Dustin, only alternative that remotely tastes like Copenhagen a little, at least from what I thought, is Smokey Mountain Straight.
Some have said they thought Triumph Classic tastes like it too. I think the Classic Triumph is a Chile-Lime flavor myself.
But, Smokey Mountain Straight…that is the one I thought closely tasted like Cope.
To be fair, I was a Skoal Wintergreen Longcut user myself and I never found one that tasted the same. I just found one I liked….and I am almost 700 days free from the junk. Find one that “will do”, that’s the secret to moving to the fake alternatives, good luck!

Thanks, I figured as much; just ordered some tobacco free alternatives and will try them out. I use two pouches at once so maybe I can mix the Grizzly pouches 1 to 1 with the alternative pouches at first, then switch to completely Grizzly free.

I don’t think I really chew much, one can a weekend (Fri-Sun), using two pouches at a time for a total of 10 chews a weekend. But I don’t like the irritation on the inside of my lower lip that occurs when I do too many in a row.

I was (so glad I can say that) the same way. Two grizzly wintergreen pouches at a time. I took one day of just using one at a time. Once the can was empty, got some smokey mountain. That worked until the corn silk flavor got to me and the smell on my fingers. I ordered the Bacc-Off wintergreen pouches. They are reminiscent of skoal wintergreen but they work pretty good. I know they have energized stuff that may help with the buzz factor. Took me four days of haziness, head aches and intense insomnia but, after a week having the alternatives work great.

You like the burn? Hands down, SpitFire by Hooch is the hottest fake alternative I’ve had. It’s like sucking on hot sauce! I like hot stuff, so it was very enjoyable for me.
Cinnamon flavor from Triumph has a nice burn too. Just be sure to order “Zero Strength” (no nicotine), or you will be feeling that dizzy bullshit again.
But there is no hotter one I’ve tried (and I’ve tried about all of them), the SpitFire, by the Hooch.

i guess this all depends on what your definition of “bad” is. some of these products have very questionable (bad) ingredients in them, while others have nothing but harmless ingredients. Although all may irritate your gums, some may irritate your health. It is up to the consumer to do their research.
some of the these chews clearly list their ingredients on their website and others are harder to find.

Well, I’ve never been into the “fruity-booty” flavors like you’re seeking, so I’ve never had any fake alternative that looked like a “piece of gum”. I do not think Smokey Mountain looks anything like a piece of gum. I don’t think Hooch looks anything like a piece of gum. I don’t think Golden Eagle, Baccoff, Elicit or Young’s looks like a piece of gum. I’ve tried all of the Jake’s…and although not a fan of them, mainly due to flavor (not texture), they don’t look anything like a stick of gum. Hell, even the Triumph, which I recommended over a week ago, doesn’t look anything a stick of gum. Not sure what the stuff you’re out here trying, but the stuff I’ve listed above, looks less like a “stick of gum from the dollar store” and more like smokeless tobacco.
But….you can’t please everyone i guess.

Try Nip Energy DIp. The texture is closer to the long cut style and they offer a wintergreen ice flavor that is very refreshing. The sponge may sound odd at first, but it is very similar to the way normal dip feels in your mouth! http://www.nipenergydip.com

No problem Chris,
Try Smokey Mountain out, in fact, try them all out…become a fake chew expert, hahaha! I tried almost all of them, I wanted to find one I liked (and I found one that I like over all of them). Smokey Mountain is probably the most available one. I believe all Walmarts carry a couple flavors. I know in Michigan, Meijer (grocery chain) carries some of it too. Most of the other brands, you will need to order from their website(s). Luckily, this blog has links to all of them, even rebates for some of them too.
I still use them once in a while, but consumption has tapered off for me. But if I am ever in the mood for a “dip”, I want to have some fake stuff near…for I am all done with Nicotine and Tobacco forever. Good Luck!

I think Smokey Mountain probably has the closest “cut” to Long Cut. I would even say that Hooch (Rough Cut) isn’t a distant second in that Long Cut department.
Again, NONE of the fake dips will replicate the real stuff we abused for years, but a lot of them these days are very close. The key to stopping the real shit and using the fake stuff, is finding one that “will do”.
So many awesome alternatives available today, not the case 20 years ago.

Dillon,
I was a long cut user, back when I dipped 550 days ago. I’ve tried many of these alternatives. I have had original Skoal fine cut, which is close to the original Cope cut (fine). Ive dabbled with Cope too. My experience, by far, zero strength, no nicotine Elicit, was the finest cut of these I tried. You might have to search for Elicit Herbal Chew, since I no longer see it here.
Taste wise, Smokey Mountain Straight is the closet Cope taste I’ve had.
Be sure, its zero strength if you try Elicit. I DO NOT do anything that contains nicotine anymore, done with that shit!
Good luck, let us know if you try it and your thoughts. People want to hear your reviews out here

I am in agreement with Chewie on this Tye. Unless you ween yourself from the Gum and stay away from nicotine, are you “really” quitting? You’ve basically traded one habit (or form of nicotine), for another. Quitting means just that, quitting.
While I myself was successful back in the 90’s kicking the chew habit with the Nicorette, by slowly substituting the nicotine gum, with regular gum…I ultimately ended up starting the habit again, 6 months later!
I am a FAILED example of the Nicorette Gum experiment. I am currently at day #480 free of tobacco AND Nicotine. When my quit date approached, I seized use of nicotine in any form and committed to it. And I got my ass kicked for doing it too, for almost 40-60 days. I honestly believe the only way to quit is Cold Turkey. Its really the only proven way to kick the habit.
I think the gum, patches and meds are all fine, but they only prolong the addiction!

I did dabble with Cope in my 25/years chewing, I don’t think the Classic Triumph tasted like Cope. But…Everyone has their own taste. If you do try Triumph, be sure to use the “Zero Strength” (no nicotine). But I still think Smokey Mountain Straight, then Classic, are the closest to Cope, taste wise.

The key is to find an alternative “that’ll do”. Nothing will exactly replicate the nasty ass Worm dirt we were addicted to for years. You just need to pretend (in this case) Copenhagen, isn’t being made anymore. You need to find something that will supplement it.
There isn’t a fake dip out there that tastes like Skoal Wintergreen Long Cut (and I’ve tried about all of them), but I found that the Nicotine Free, Classic/flavored Triumph, serves as an acceptable alternative…for ” ME”. I truly believe the Smokey Mountain Straight is about as close to the Cope taste you’ll find. If you like your shit “HOT”, Hooch Spit Fire is a pretty dam good one too…lots of burn!
Again…nothing will be the same…gotta retrain the brain to accept something new, without the nicotine.
