well, I tried grizzly straight and I must say... yes. it was a little stronger than copenhagen long cut... BUT. wow. Huge difference. Taste is mediocore at best. Granted, it's $3-4 cheaper, but when I ran out, I bought some cope. It was like Drinking Johnny Walker Blue after drinking cheap scotch. Would probably not buy it again unless we fell into another depression... and I guess we're not too far away.
