Received a carton of Bernard Feinster Kownoer today. Love the aroma, but I’m having a hard time even taking it. It seems very dry and coarse and has just been falling straight out of my nose. I’ve tried breathing on it to attempt to moisten it a little, but it doesn’t make any difference. It just falls right out and goes all over my shirt. Is there some special technique you can use to keep it in your nostrils, short of just stuffing it in?
Get a bib to protect your shirt. Shove the snuff up and close your nostrils.
Its probably in need of rehydration. More than just breathing on it. We were just discussing it in another thread, as it is unique among Bernard’s products as being water based.
Put some on the back of your hand or in a small snuff spoon or take a pinch and inhale it slightly after the snuff is in one nostril close your nostril with your finger or fill both nostrils and then give your nose a squeeze so that the snuff stays in. That’s great snuff by the way! enjoy!
I agree with Xander. Try to rehydrate it.
I third that. I had a box of princes dark that did the same thing. You could place the snuff in a sealed container with a small cup of water so that the water evaporates into the snuff. Personally I just drip a few drops mix repeat and let it soak in for a while, works just fine on coarser snuff.
I know this 3 years too late, but I have found that using a saline nasal spray to moisten the inside of your nose works well with dry snuffs. I use it before I take White Elephant, and it really helps to keep it inside your nose. I also like the Feinster Kownoer, but I have no problems taking it.
