I took up chewing tobacco in college. Started with Skoal dip and then Red Man plug and loose leaf chew/ It was not uncommon to find me studying in the lounge and occasionally (but very discretely) expectorating into a styrofoam coffee cup making it appear as if I was sipping coffee when I was actually spattin out terbacky juice.
When I was in high school I smoked pipes (Borkum riff, Amphora, and Captain Black commercial blends) and later various high end house blends that I would buy in expensive tobacconists shops in Manhattan) and also ceegars When it came to ceegars I usually smoked Garcia Vega "Panatella". or Italian stogies.
