Red Man chew! Hanging on the wall right next to Mail Pouch and the Mule Brand plugs. My granddaddy made his own plugs from what he grew. He used lead arsenate on it to kill the worms. It probably added some good flavor. --R (sent from my miniPad) On Jan 2, 2015, at 3:53 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: Sunds like a brand of chewing tobacco...

Try ammonia. I think a lot of gun cleaning solvents are ammonia based.
