Hello from Tok

I was looking all over the place for information on how I could make my own dip. Finally found this forum. I send a big thanks to all those who take the time to share what they have learned with those of us who do not know. Really! Thank you. Where I live in Alaska the price of my favorite Grizzly Extra Long has gone up to $6.20 per 1.2oz can. Crazy! I can get bulk pipe tobacco for under $22 per pound. So I am using what I have been learning in this forum to try to make some passable dipping tobacco from the cheaper pipe tobacco. So far it is not very good. Actually it is pretty bad, but still satisfies my addiction and is only about 90 cents per can equivalent. So I am hoping to learn how to make it taste a little more like the stuff I like best. When I figure it out I will make a video and post it on my you tube channel.

Welcome to the forum. You can purchase the specific tobacco varieties ideal for making dip at wholeleaftobacco.com (banner ad up top) for about the same price, including shipping. You might look into that. Our Index of Key Forum Threads (link at he top) includes a section on smokeless, and some of those threads have specific recipes.

Yes Bob, I was just looking through the web site for whole leaf and trying to figure out which I should try to order. And I just put a post in the thread for smokeless tobacco under newbi questions. I am reaching learning overload sifting through this forum. I better take a break and come back tomorrow.

Welcome to FTT.
The «cheap pipe tobacco» you used might be already cased with some flavors/chemicals, so it might not be the ideal prodict to begin with.
Whole leaf will be a better alternative.
