Dip started off as dry snuff |
|
Many people in the states refer to moist smokeless tobacco as Dip but the truth is Dip started off life as dry snuff. We know, this may cause even more confusion with new users across the pond but, let us explain the history of Dip and you’ll understand better. In America, the most common way to enjoy smokeless tobacco was by using Dry snuff. In fact, in the early 1800’s, nasal snuff production was one of the largest industries in the country. Dry snuff played such a large role in American tobacco history that there were large snuff boxes installed in the US Senate chambers and kept constantly filled so that Senators would not have to leave the floor in order to fill their personal snuff boxes. |
