Interesting comment on the Redman "cud" Mr. Brown. I'm not a clays shooter at all, but do own a 1948 era M12 Pigeon Grade Trap-factory dims for that era. The former owner was a AA class 16 yard shooter-but was also a 2 pack of Camels/day smoker-. In an effort to quit that deadly habit, he went to chewing Red Man. His trap scores went "into the dumper" until he learned to shift his cud to the left side cheek. The "wad" of Red Man raised his right cheek off the comb of that M12-and he was shooting over his birds- mainly the straight away flying targets.
I'm a retired power plant/pipeline welder- most of my buddies "on the job" smoked, I didn't. Old Tex saved the cigar stubs from his "R.G. Dungs" and re-lit the stubs, so he could smoke while his hood was down and he was burning a stick of LH-70 vertical up- There was as much smoke coming out of the back of his Huntsman hood as from the arc- Tex told a "rookie" once, upon his first helping of Mail Pouch- "Take a big load there sonny, don't skimp- that will make the pukin' worth your while"..
