That is a big grocery list Shaman. Do them all at once?
I usually like menthols right before bed, or a little HDT.
@Igglet No - you probably won’t want to wake up. Lucid dreams are awesome although you have little control over venue . You spend a third of your life in bed, might as well enjoy it. Use at your own risk
I used to use O&G close to bed but now Camphor and Clove. But not right before bed. I don’t see how all of you don’t get the drip snuffing right before bed. I have to neti pot every morning, so I dont know how people can have a pinch and lie down soon after.
The longer I snuff the less drip I get. I also sleep on my back so the drip wouldn’t matter @DPadraig.
I use schmalzlers every night, and in very large piles, pretty much anything not menthol. @basement_shaman I used to be able to successfully induce and enter lucid dreams after reading Stephen Laberges book, I even still have a novadreamer from 10 years ago. But had more luck with a dream journal and practicing dream checks regularly. I also have studied and grown many ethnobotanicals, glad to see someone mentioning these.
I’ve become a little wary of snuff usage before bed of late. A few heavy late night snuff sessions have left me with a hangover - I literally felt like I’d had a heavy night on the booze the night before, when if fact I hadn’t touched a drop. Evenings have usually been my heaviest snuffing time of way anyway, but having quit the smokes and leaning on the snuff a little more heavily has increased this. It’s also got me thinking more about secondary absorbtion of nicotine through the snuff we swallow from the back drip, and from our noses cleaning themselves that way. If you think about it, we take a pinch and absorb a certain percentage of Vit N through the nose, then swallow it and absorb everything else later through our digestion systems. I noticed this hangover effect with the smokes several times, whereby on a night out with friends I’d have a far worse hangover the next day if I’d been smoking heavy than if we’d been somewhere I couldn’t smoke freely. However, to have a hangover without having the drunken frivolity beforehand seems grossly unfair to me I don’t think there’s any problem with a pinch before bed and letting the scents aid pleasant dreams. However, wolfing back a couple of grams in the couple of hours just before getting my head down as I have done on a few occasions lately … not so good.
Schmalzlers are my usual bedtime choice, though 6P Kailash, Super Kailash, and now Toque Rustica are selected just as often.
That nice Dr. Verey. He has a lovely bedside manner.
Mine currently are Toque Apricot or Old Mill Kind of Blue. Both have lovely scents that are strong enough that they last until morning.
@50ft_trad I feel you! I’ve woken up with a wicked headache after snuffing a lot before bed. I’ve been trying to dial back the nighttime snuffing lately.
I enjoy Super Kailash before bed, maybe some Packard’s Club.
Mountains of rustica. Honestly, there’s nuthin’ finer.
My Dreamcatcher is on the reserved list- so usually it’s White Elephant before bed and when waking up. Sometimes I do like some Rustica blended tobacco before bed such as Lundy Foot
Bedtime rotation changes a bit every six months or so, but right now it’s Dholakia Medicated No10, Toque Absinthe (since running out of Toque Coltsfoot), and 6p Kailash (been in the rotation for over a year).
When I make a point to take a bedtime snuff, it’s usually 6 Photo Kailash, Motia, or F&T French Carotte.
A bedtime snuff for me has to have no nasty backdrip. My usual snuffs for bedtime/in bed are high toasts or Indian whites. Yellow Lilly Perfumed is a lovely bedtime snuff- instead of lying in my hovel of a rented bedroom I’m walking through an Indian garden, flanked by beautiful women wearing garlands of flowers…sweet dreams…
It’s bedtime for me now and I’m enjoying some wonderful tuberose snuff, nighty night snuffhouse.
I liked a schmalzler before bed for a while there, but lately it’s been Toque Rustica. Tonight, for whatever reason, I’m using Kensington. Maybe my nose is bored with routine.
I think my new bedtime favorite is F&T Morlaix.
I usually hit White Elephant but sometimes Dreamcatcher. Can’t do that too often as I don’t have tons left unfortunately. Maybe try pure Rustica when I get around to getting some
