In fact, they even concocted their own tobacco blend, designed to keep a consistent chaw and provide the right consistency to the projectile. My father heard about it years ago when he worked for Brown and Williamson. They sent him to Tennessee to track down the fellows who had invented this form of chewing tobacco. He saw a bunch of guys at the end of a street practicing their spitting, and stopped a kid who had a handful of tobacco. "Pardon me, boy, is that the Chattanooga Jews' chews?"
