Now that's a different form of chewing!

I don't know if I'd try it....unless you replaced the Yucca stalks with beef jerky.

Crikey. Can you imagine the nausea?

There's a guy on my local Australian forums that regularly writes long odes to his "goddess, nicotina". Paragraphs of wonderment to his lady of enlightenment. He uses a kisumu (spelling) and grinds his own rustica tobacco leaf powder to achieve spiritual enlightenment. I think some people may tease him a little under their breath but I kind of like that he's so dedicated. He likes very strong commercial blends. I'd be sick if I smoked like he does.

Guess these quids were the precursors to Skoal Bandits.
