Indians introduced the colonists and Europe to tobacco. Prior to cotton it was our biggest export. It’s not like they named it Red Boy or Red Bitch. There’s nothing wrong with Red Man.


Yeah - I don't get it. Usually one is honored to have something named for them if it's on the up and up. College sports teams, pro sports, etc., etc. I think the Seminole tribe has publicly supported Florida State in keeping their nickname. I just don't get it.

I was thinking they should change it to “Pouch of Chewing Tobacco” for a couple of years until they come up with a less offensive name

Fortunately I gave up that vice years ago. It is terrible for you. But I still miss my Redman.

Redman was my first chew. I was probably 11. And yes, I almost threw up.

Chewing tobacco seems to be really rare these days. Most everyone I know who used to do it has quit

Red Man was garbage anyway. Levi or Beech Nut is far superior.

A lot of people can't handle Red Man, saying its too strong. To each their own, I find Levi Garrett or Red Man golden blend to be a bit bland.

The mere thought of them is racist or something. Its insane.

I hadn't even noticed that yet. So are we going to have to change the names of half the states, counties, and rivers in this country? Enough is enough...

First time for me was the Summer of 82, when I was going through OCS in Quantico. The platoon was standing in formation after a meal. We weren't allowed to smoke, but the guy standing next to me was chewing tobacco. I asked to try some, he handed over a packet of Redman and warned me "don't swallow any."

I started chewing. Pretty sweet at first, then I thought I was going to die. Kept at it, though.

I thought the name was safe, given its customer base. Guess not.

I chew Red Man (Select, Golden Blend, Silver Blend, Regular) whatever I can get my hands on.

Just bought a 3 pack of Beech Nut (red pack) in my hometown this weekend. Of course they sell tobacco I can't get in AL. King B and Red Ox twist tobacco, Beech Nut Wintergreen, the different plugs like my papaw chewed, etc.

I don't like dip because the particles get stuck between my teeth while pouch tobacco don't.

Papaw preferred Thick Apple brand plug tobacco and when he couldn't get that he bought BloodHound or Days Work.

Nothing would make your head spin like Tops Snuff. I used to live that shite. Nothing but pure ground and powdered tobacco

If you're gonna pop in a chaw, it's Levi Garrett or Beech Nut for the win.

What they did is hilarious. They killed off the Indian… but kept the land.
