Native Alaskans have been using punk ash for over a hundred years to intensify the effects

of chew / dip tobacco. It's called Iq'mik or Blackbull when mixed!!!



Punk ash is mixed with long cut tobacco and chew dip like copenhagen, the mixture is

dependent upon the users tolerance. It can have quite a strong effect the first time it is used,

so moderation is required until a tolerance is built up.



Its effects have been compared to the sensation a smoker gets on their first cigarette after

they have quit smoking for a long time or that first dip of chew you ever took.



Punk ash and tobacco are commonly mixed either in the chew can or in a ziploc bag with a

little added water and allowed to absorb for a period of time. ie, 2-3 days...



Apparently, the Punk ash effects the Alkalinity of the nicotine allowing it to be readily and

rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream increasing the “nic hit” one receives. The effect is

noticeably quicker and stronger than standard chew.
