Isn't it weird how the culture of manly evolved around things that are quite often subjectively worse?

I actually liked Redman. I used to work as a horse wrangler over the summer, and I always felt like such a cowboy, riding a horse and chewing Redman. I normally smoked cigarettes, but smoking and horseback riding through a dry forest don't mix all that well, and of course there was all the romanticized cowboy history revolving around chewing, so I kept a packet of that on me whenever I knew I'd be riding.

Agree, redman is awesome. I used to do it on rare occasions but I was kind of concerned about fucking my teeth up too much. I’d actually prob prefer chew over dip but it can be a bit gross lol. Horseback riding and chew is a perfect fit since you’re out in the country anyway.

Smoking was my original thing too. Camel lights but went through a phase of rolling my own (drum). Filterless cigarettes hit like a freight train when it’s the first of the day. Miss those days!

I actually got into vaping over a decade ago and was in the eliquid scene. There’s a website called eliquid recipes and I have a bunch of things I made up on the front page there. These days I just mix with menthol whatever random flavor I have laying around

Awesome! Thanks for sharing that resource. I used vaping to quit smoking years ago, and then I quit vaping too. But when I quit drinking I was like "this fucking sucks and I need a vice". So I started smoking a pipe. My wife made it absolutely clear that she hated the pipe more than anything, so I went back to vaping.
