After reading the post on smoking plug chewing tobacco I decided to see what
we had locally. I found Cotton Boll manufactured by Scott Tobacco LLC,
Bowling Green, KY. It was not cheap either at $2.26 per plug. I don't
really know if that is expensive or not but I thought it was. Anyway, I
decided to cut the plug into about 1 inch sections. I put these sections in
my food processor and shredded the hell out of them. The shreds are not
really small, much larger that regular pipe tobacco. The resulting chards
were dry, smelled like dried hay. It might have been slightly hydrated with
residual water drained from nuclear reactor cooling rods. I chose a small
Kirk Bosi apple to try this stuff. I packed lose as previous posts
recommended and it fired up easily. The greenish-yellow smoke was not
highly offensive in the aroma produced. I could tell immediately, when I
locked up, this stuff had quite a nico punch. Also, my nose started running
while burning nicely. The tobacco is rather bland and tasteless but what it
lacks in taste it definitely makes up for in pure power. They should rename
this stuff Brown Mule. I am puffing, slowly, at this writing and it is not
bad at all. It is kind of pleasant in an odd sort of way. Every once in a
while I get a whiff of something reminiscent of cigar aroma but then it is
gone just that fast. No tongue bite here. I will not smoke this tobacco
daily but I will when I get restless and my taste can't be easily satisfied
and I need something stronger. I am thinking about putting a pinch of this
in a bowl of 2015 to give the Virgina/Perique more kick. Since it does not
have much taste it should not really change the flavor just add power, a lot
of power. I don't inhale and I really doubt I could with this tobacco
anyway. I jared the remaining chards and portions of the plug for storage.
I did not want the fumes coming off this stuff to contaminate my other
tobaccos,
Really, not bad, not bad at all.

Howdy, Lannes. I've not tried Cotton Boll, but I know that some twists
have a different taste/strength ratio than others. One that I tried a
long time ago was Warren County Twist, made by Scott Tobacco. It was as
you describe. My two favorites will always be Mammoth Cave and Red Ox,
I guess. As for price, well it's not cheap. Average $28 per pound for
Mammoth Cave.

If I ever see any Cotton Boll I will give it a try.
Thanks for the review.

Well I have never smoked chewing tobacco,but I have chewed all
different kinds.From Skoal bandits to Mammoth Cave.Gonna have to give
smoking it a try.My current kink is a dip of Cope in the upper lip and
whatever I happen to grab off my tobacco shelf in the pipe.And I guess
as was said elsewhere"It is all tobacco".Keep smiling

Lannes,
You're a brave man. I'm still working up the nerve to sprinkle some
snuff on my pipe tobacco.
