American Dry Snuff |
|
American Dry snuff was basically powdered tobacco that was applied to the gums by taking a small twig, chewing the end so that it became moist and brush-like. The stick would be “dipped” into the snuff and applied. Believe it or not, dipping tobacco back then was primarily used by women which is a complete reversal from today. The product we know as Dip wasn’t to make it’s debut until the mid 1800’s. |
