Hooch Snuff Rough Cut Review

It’s great when a product developer listens to its customers.  I’m thrilled to announce that smokeless alternative vendor Hooch Snuff has done just this.  For quite some time now I’ve heard quitters everywhere looking for a long cut version of Hooch.  They’ve delivered.

Hooch Rough Cut is described on the Hooch website like so:

“This is our newest cut. It packs better in the tin and will hold together in the mouth like a long cut. So why not call it a long cut… We think it sounds better and better matches our process.”

I have to say that’s a spot on description of the product.

At this point there are 6 flavors of Hooch Rough Cut available: Mint, Spitfire, Wintergreen, Classic, Cherry and Whiskey.  The flavor profiles are identical to their regular cut counterparts.  You can read my review of those flavors here.

Hooch has done away with their metal tins which I actually think is a good idea.  For me the plastic tins always felt more “natural” (though I wasn’t a Cope guy with their metal lids to compete with).

But back to the rough cuts.  I tend to really “work” my chew when it’s in so one of the problems I’ve always had is with dip falling apart.  I was always a long cut Kodiak guy and would damn near kill myself if I ever had to pop in a fine cut (or God forbid the dust like Cope).  Hooch Rough nearly solves that problem.  I say nearly because it’s not QUITE a “long cut”.  I’d personally prefer a little longer cut, but this is a great step in the right direction toward a long cut product.

I’m also thrilled to report that Hooch didn’t mess with their great flavor profiles with this new offering.  Many times you see new products being introduced that are actually steps back from the original… not he case with Hooch Rough Cut.  They’ve improved what they set out to, and left the rest alone.  Bravo.

As with their regular products, Hooch Rough is VERY close to the real thing.  For some this is a good thing and for others it may be a drawback.  Just know that when you pop in a chew of Hooch it’s going to be VERY close to what you remember… just without the nicotine.

Special thanks to Chet May from Hooch Snuff for providing me samples to try and review.
