Cowboy Coffee Chew (Pack of 6) Quit Chewing Tin Can Non Tobacco Nicotine Free Smokeless Alternative to Dip Snuff Snus Leaf Pouch

I am really impressed by this product and think I have found the product that can keep me off of regular tobacco for good. I have tried many products, jerky chew, mint chew, etc. Jerky chew was good but always to dry for me and wound up hurting my lip and gums more than regular dip. Mint chew, although I don't doubt it is natural, always wound up burning my gums, or at least having a high burn sensation and was almost always rock hard regardless of what I tried and also would wind up cutting up my lip and gums and was a serious pain. At first I admit I wasn't too hot on the idea of coffee grounds. I love coffee, but the idea of coffee grounds didn't appeal to me especially being a military veteran and having direct experience of dipping actual coffee grounds when out on deployment. BAD EXPERIENCE! Cowboy Coffee Chew is really nice though. It is not bitter black coffee nor is it extremely sweet Café au lait. They have managed to find what I would call a very happy medium that just taste d@mn good to be honest. PRO: Great taste and although it does start hard it quickly warms and is easily pouched into the gum just like regular tobacco. For those of us who need the feeling of dip rather than the tobacco addiction this will be a great product for you. Price is honestly a pro and a con. I bought three cans initially to test the product and it cost me $20.00. On a repeat basis it would not be worth buying 3 cans for $20.00 when I can buy three cans of regular tobacco for slightly less. However on the pro side, once I tried I immediately decided to go online and buy more and I bought the 12 can pack for $50.00. That is twice the amount of regular tobacco for the same price! CON: Coffee can be extremely hard cold. I live up north and so if you if you are in any cold environment and have left the can open to environmental temperature it will be damn near unusable. At normal room temperature though this is really not a concern I think and if you keep in your pocket your normal body heat will keep it warm and easily usable. It will be stickier and harder than normal tobacco regardless but hey I accept that. Another poster talked about the coffee grounds coming loose in your mouth as a major turnoff. Personally I question if this person has actually ever really dip'd or chewed because that is just a natural occurrence regardless. To my mind fine chew is harder to pack than long cut chew but it something any dipper should be used to. With the Coffee shew this is basically the same to me. Price as mentioned above can be expensive but once you try and decide you like, buy the 12 pack and you are getting a great deal.

So I got this stuff as an alternative to the Snus I am currently using because I know its bad for me. I had currently tried another ouch tobacco replacement and didn't like that so i figured I should move on to the next thing. This got a lot of good reviews so I figured I could give it a shot. Firstly, I definitely should have explored the photos better because I had no idea when I received it that it would basically be a hockey puck in a tin. I opened up the first tin and was instantly confused because seeing the title of the item I thought it would be pouches. I was instantly disappointed when i saw that it wasn't but I figured I would still give it a shot because I really want to kick the Snus. So I tried to pull a pinch. This took about 5 minutes because I had to use my nails to pull a piece off then roll it between my fingers till I got a piece that would be shaped enough to approximate a pouch. Complaint number two, it left my fingers sticky and covered in grounds. I stuck it in my lower lip and let it sit. This led to the only positive thing, I actually really liked the taste. But as it sat in my lip it started to dissolve the honey leaving my mouth full of basically just coffee grounds. Worst of all it didn't even give me any sort of buzz or energy. I wish I could return this product but I don't know if I can with one of the cans missing a pinch.

I bought a couple cans of this chew after being recommended to give it a try. Ive been trying to kick the habit this seemed to fit the bill since I dont care for most the herbal type dips out there. Five bucks a can seemed expensive but after working through a can of it Id have to say its cheaper than picking up coffee from starbucks every morning and it tastes great. The Coffee Chew tastes like a cup of coffee with creamer and some sugar. The Honey in the chew makes it nice and sweet, I really like the flavor. The consistency of it is more like a stiff goo but its soft enough that you can roll it in your fingers into something similar to a snuff packet. It does break down as the honey dissolves in your mouth and pieces of coffee grinds float around in your mouth but they can easily be swallowed. You dont need to spit or toss the dip as it juices or breaks down just eat it. I really like this product and plan on buying more of it soon. The only downside I really have with this product is that I cant find it at gas stations or local shops. The only place I can seem to find it is here on amazon or on the company website, I would really love to see this availible at my gas station down the road or at Walmart.

Ok 3/5 because I still like this product and I'm happy with my purchase. I just wish it was more similar to dip. The biggest downfall is how much the ground break off and float around in mouth unlike regular dip. Regular dip is way easier to keep it all in place. Also the grounds are really small, it would be nicer if it could some how resemble the shape and texture as regular dip, not sure how that's possible. I also would like if it did have the same sting on my gums as regular dip, there is no sting. Last thing is I wish this stuff gave you more of the urge to spit like dip does. Might sound weird but I want to spit lol, this stuff doesnt make me want to spit and I just end up swallowing everything. It doesnt affect the saliva in your mouth like regular dip does. Regular dip seems to make your spit more thick as this doesnt change anything. The positives: taste good, like how it does have caffeine, still nice to have something in your gums for an oral fixation. If these problems were solved this stuff would be so awesome.
