Yeah...definitely report your findings! I'm at just over 30hrs without a dip now and really missing the nicotine. This could be a good substitute...
What's your favorite chew/dip?

Just keep it up! They work really well. Doesnt replace the nicotine. But having something to substitute it. My cusin chewed two cans a day for a long ass time. His daughter wanted him to quite. So he got hooked on beef jerky chew.....prolly rott your lip off with all the salt but it is better than nothing. The grinds are something else. My better half is a dental hygienist and she refers those to people that chew. You get jacked up on coffee. But its better than the bad stuff

You can get them at alot of convenience stores I just go on their web sight to see where they have dealers. Online you get the flavor you always want but they always have the ones i want

Ha! Yeah, it sure did! That's great, though. And what a great group of people on here. Not only reading this thread, but many others as well, I see there is a LOT of life experience on here...knowledge and wisdom coming from people who have actually "been there and done that" and can convey their information without being judgemental or pompous. Can't find that on any other social media site!

Here we go. I purchased the 5 can sampler (black coffee, Irish coffee, vanilla, mocha, and caramel). First impression, I was not that impressed with the mocha. It just tasted like black coffee. Well, later today I realized I had opened the black coffee, not the mocha. So, my second impression. It tastes just like black coffee. I like this new alternative. The b-12, and some of the other energy ingredients give you that little boost. Nice recommendation. 
Very cool....appreciate you taking the time to post your findings! Being ex-military and ex-commercial diver, I never did anything in moderation and now in my 50's, I'm feeling it, and right at the time I retired and bought my first camper. A few of my old habits caught up to me already....and I'm sure a can a day habit was fixin' to be next, so this is good timing finding a substitute.

Dang you got that pretty fast! They are all pretty good. The mocha one is good but it tastes alot like the plane black coffee...the caramel one is my favorite. I have a bit of a sweet tooth. They have a wintergreen one that tastes like crap!! You definitely get a pop from it!
Funny you mentioned Hawken. That's how I got started. I was 19 yrs old standing watch as helmsman on the USS Shark and the guy beside me was the planesman, responsible for depth. He was putting dip in his mouth and saw me looking and offered me some. I took a nice big pinch of those wintergreen wood shavings and after a few seconds, I had the biggest head rush ever. I'm steering a 3000 ton fast attack submarine hundreds of feet underwater and buzzing like a fool. All I could think was: "Wow...and it's LEGAL!"Hawken!!

Pretty good. I like the taste better than I expected and swapping caffeine for nicotine beats going cold turkey. As long as I'm getting some kind of "ine" I'm good! :)

I personally have been 23 days without chewing. I've been digging the Mocha, and Irish cream.
