I’ve seen these CRAZY big pinches/lines being taken on you-tube or some websites. I think that’s ridiculous. I usually just fill up my “anatomical snuffbox” (the actual medical term for the area near the base of the thumb between two tendons- the little pocket there- I have a good one) from a container and then take it in two pinches (one to each nostril)…or from a snuff box, I just take about as comfortably big a pinch as I can with two fingers and savor it patiently with about 2 sniffs per nostril. For me, that’s the best amount. I think making really big lines on the back of the hand is just way too much and a bit wasteful, though if I did that with some snuffs, I could get a big buzz. When I crave snuff, I can feel it in the middle of my chest. After taking snuff, that feeling is gone. I once took snuff right before sitting at one of those automatic heart-rate/blood-pressure machines…let’s just say the stuff definately raises the pulse and pressure…I was well above normal pressure and had a rate in the upper 90’s. That was after taking a big pinch of Tom Buck. At first I was worried, because I forgot I had just taken a pinch and that explained it.

nicotine raises your blood pressure. thats why nicotine-addicts suffer strokes etc. more often. there is nicotine in snuff and the “buzz” you feel should be the nicotine.

How big of lines/pinches are these people in the videos and such taking?

Seems like whenever I take a real big pinch, I get stuffiness and sneezing. I did it once with some ROoster and it made me stuffy for two days. THose videos blow me away. I don’t see how people can sniff those huge lines.

When I sniff a larger than normal line the snuff just ends up smeared all over my face

Its like speed eating hot dogs or whatever: pointless. Snuffs meant to be enjoyed not forced up the nose at high pressure!

Hear, hear!

Can you post links to a video or two? I searched it up on youtube, but didnt find any extreme ones.

that looks dangerous. where does te snuff go once your node is full? throat would be bad enough, but i fear the lungs might get some.

WOW Those guy’s are morons!! There was one kind that must have done a rail about a meter long. I’m surprised Nic poisoning doesn’t set in. That one must have been doctored or something.

One of those videos is from a guy on this board. Maybe he can provide insight about why he does it. If you saw a video of a couple of kid sitting around a table. One guy did a few lines off his hand of Gletcherprise, I believe he was speaking German. Search the boards you will find him. Personally I have no problem with the amount of snuff people do simply because it is not me. When I first started snuff I too thought it was a good idea to user a snort tube and do big lines. I guess it was from past experiences! Now I have fine tuned my snuff taking ability and I never do that anymore. I am a big pincher, I love to pinch straight from the tins. Sometimes I will sniff off the back of my hand, but never big lines. But I guess if you go along with the rest of the people on youtube, you can only post videos that are to the extreme so that you can get 100 comments from people all around the world calling you gay, and saying how they can kick your ass. Its stupid really.

I actually found them. That is just ridiculous. It’s like ‘hey, look at me! look at me! this is completely legal…and i’m so tough!’ losers…

Look at this joke of a human. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6\\_PKYxsQfw “you have to be TOUGH! UGHH!!” ?

Well thanks for the rude comments refering to me. As for the big lines of my hand,that looks big,but it actually isn’t. As for the amount by Gletscherpriese i tend to clog up my nose the instant if I take small amounts. So i take a large pinch of it,blow my nose and everything’s fine. For the ones who don’t like it,don’t look at it,and please stay off the rude comments,you know there are real people behind these nicks here. Alas,I agree on the one meter lines,thats just too damn much,looked at couple of them videos,and i noticed it’s all Czech kids doing it,sniffs 3 time then coughs his lungs out,then again 3 time and so on.Anyways the Czech are always looking after crazy things to do so it’s no wonder. ,Karlo

Roam: You were the guy that I was talking about in my post a few lines up? If you re-read my post I never made a rude comment towards you. As a matter of fact, I informed the board that it was you, and you should be able to speak for yourself as why you do that. I also said, I have no problem with people doing huge lines, because people can do whatever the hell they want. It seems when you do something that isn’t good, normal, ethical to somebody your instantly pegged as a bad person! Its a crazy world out there, and with the internet bringing together so many people from so many different cultures we should all learn to not jump to conclusion just because you think its taboo. So Roam keep on snuffing mega lines because thats what you do, and you have every right!

Well I didn’t mean you at all,and just saw this thread 50 minutes ago. So yeah,everyone keep up doing what they like. Cheers, Karlo

well, as long as you arent ‘trever’, from the video i posted… ha. did you watch that? and btw, im only referring to the ones DOING the meter or longer lines. thats probably nearly a whole tin… ha.

Yeah the only video I’ve seen so far that was stupid was the one posted here. You got a kid who is talking about how tough he is and swearing all in his prepubescent voice.

Yeah Roams video wasn’t bad at all, he’s posted it on here before that can be seen here on this old post Snuff Video listed on the 3rd comment. Nothing wrong with the line/pinch size in that video as it looks to be normal size to me. Maybe all these people doing lines the size of giraffe necks are just getting ready for the Snuff Taking Championships

You could always have fun with a round table and a few snuff machines. Snuffers Of The Round Table

Yep. Looks normal. heh. I just want to turn on one of those videos where they have about 8 meters lined up, and just see one of them cough and blow more than half of it away, after they spent all that time laying it out. That, to me, would be worth watching. eh?

There was one with a guy with a mohawk in a convenient store doing a big line of I think an american snuff. He spent the next 10 minutes hacking, gagging, coughing, sneezing & throwing up into trash can while the person filming was laughing. Its posted somewhere on here and on youtube. It was hilarious. I’ll have to search for it.

OK heres the video I was talking about. It was WE Garrett snuff. Originally posted here by Satyr. Mohawk Snuffer

Okay I’ve seen the trever videos,and that is just damn ridicolous. And snuff wasting.

That’s great news Chris!!

Roam; Hey brother, all I saw in your video was a couple of guys enjoying a rather large pinch of snuff. I think for me, the dividing line is, you were sniffing it off the back of your hand. IMHO it’s the ones that put it on the table top, make a big show of cutting it up with a credit card, and snort it through a tube, pretending they are badasses that are going to make it harder for us grown ups. I’d like to see snuff become a popular alternative to cigarettes. I mean, I don’t know how it is in GB or Europe, but as of right now, here in the states, if you put anything up your nose in a bar or restaurant, some ninny with a cell phone is calling the cops… Cheers, Java

right on chris.

I’ve not had any problems. I always get searched when I go through customs and the last time I flew I got the usual search and field test of my luggage and the customs officer found my snuffbox filled with toque. She opened it and had a gentle sniff, she then accepted my explanation without further ado and asked me how to get it as she was trying to stop smoking! I told her all about Toque.

I usually work by myself outside so no one “catches” my pinches. P.S the vineyard is a great place to hide.

Yup, I just got back from a trip. I brought lots of snuff. Went through 2 full security searches because of last minute changes, and no problems. I probably used 3 grams just on the 5 hour flight because i was so bored…

That dude with the mohawk was ridiculous. And Java is pretty much dead on…if someone sees anyone putting shit in their nose, they automatically make a fuss about it, probably, as he said, even going so far as to call the police. *sigh*

I didn’t mean to hijack the thread. Sorry about that. I’ve never gotten in any trouble with it. They eventually understand. My point was, I’d like it if people got used to seeing others taking snuff, so there would be no more fuss about it. The kids in the videos are working as hard as they can to make it look like something illegal. Maybe I’m just an old stick-in-the-mud, but I think they’re just making it harder on the rest of us. “Snuff? Like those nasty kids on YouTube? yuck” Cheers, Java

@Java:the guy in grey is actually me.

@Roam; I don’t understand what’s being said in it, but your video looks like a couple of young men just enjoying some snuff. In my previous post I meant to refer to the vids with people doing long lines of snuff through rolled-up currency. Is English a second language for you? You type it better than many I know that only speak English! Cheers, Java

That guy with the mohawk is such a prat. Fancy snorting all that lovely snuff (what a waste) then hacking it all into a bin…some people will do anything when they are bored…like these morons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGB9Ql6\\_Vp8

" woa woa woah… now… you work at a vineyard?" yup. I manage 15 aces.

@Java:Yeah,I get that,I was just pointing out it was me.

stick your pinky finger out when snuffing then it looks posh and even if people think you’re doing illegal drugs they’ll find it too non riff rafish to give a holler to the police man and he won’t try to make a collar.

Like I’ve mentioned before on some older posts, I really don’t care who sees me snuff. Just keep your head up proud and no one will question you. Who cares what anyone else thinks, they are just missing out. If someone looks at you funny, offer them a pinch! I don’t think twice about taking a snuff in public. And I’ve never had a problem. From airports & while in the plane, restaurants, bars, supermarkets, fairs & swapmeets even at the DMV, no problems. Sometimes if someone sees you doing something discreetly, they will get the wrong idea…

Okay,since i got more snuff,I’ll be sure to take some more videos and put them up on youtube.

Good one bob. I am a firm believer in the “pinky” technique. Trout, I had fun last week on the plane taking snuff all through the flight, while the poor smokers were suffering!

Here is a link with some good snuffing pics of people really enjoying snuff. Just click on news link on left side then click on snuff pictures, there are 2 pages worth so make sure you check out the second page. This site also has some nice snuff clothing that I have been eying for a while. Snuff Pictures

helps steady the hand. I find I do the pinky when I pinch or us the spoon.

You have the right attitude, troutstroker. No one can really do anything about it BUT look at you funny. And then what? You’ll never see them again, and continue to snuff just as happily. Good call. =]

THose snuff pics - the blue box, is that a pneumatic machine for blowing snuff in? Wicked!

Sounds dangerous for one’s eardrums. Personally I prefer smallish pinches more frequently than mega pinches at longer intervals.

So do I stitch

I just took a trip to Ohio and it was my first time on an Airplane using snuff. Isn’t it great? Everyone with me was so stressed out because they haven’t had a smoke in hours. Yet there I am, happy as can be snuffing away! I love this stuff. So to all those posting about snuffing in airports and on planes, right on!

Did you get any funny looks from airline staff Dajawu? I took a pinch during an open-air music festival the other day and I caught a teenage boy staring at me. He must have been thinking "Is he doing coke?’ LOL

Yeah some people do a double take, to see what I am doing.

I got stopped and searched at an airport recently - it only took a minute to explain and then the official asked me where to get it as she was stopping smoking

I was seeing ‘The Dark Knight’ last week, snuffing in the theatre, of course, and the guys (I use this term loosely) behind me exchanged remarks. “What is that guy doing, coke?!” “No, man, it’s shoe polish” HA! It was Toque original, pinched from the tin, fyi. =]

You should have turned around and offered a pinch!

Heh. First off, I didn’t hear this going on. My woman told me of it afterwards. And secondly, they were pretty much the epitome of jerk-offs. Talking all throughout the movie, and whatnot.

Ahhh, one of those. When I have people like that behind me, thats when I’m glad I’m tall. I make sure to sit up extra high in my chair… I’m usually courteous and sit low in the chair. If it keeps up, thats when I turn around and let a few words out. Usually works because they are generally young teenage kids and easily intimidated by a person of my size with anger in their voice. One time I was at the theatre with my older brother, If I remember right the movie was HEAT. There was some kids laughing and being extra obnoxious throwing popcorn at each other and what not. My brother turned around and told them to knock that sh*t off. They stopped for about 30 minutes. When they started again, my brother got up without saying a word and sat down right next to them. They stopped and after about 10 minutes they felt so awkward that they ended up leaving. But I’ve noticed that teenage girls can be the worst. I don’t even go to the theatre anymore because its no longer enjoyable with peoples phones ringing, people talking, people getting up and its just a rip off anymore. I would rather wait and see it on pay per view.

I know what you mean Troutstroker. A few years back I was in a cinema in my hometown watching ‘I, Robot’ and there was a drunk guy in the audience who wouldn’t stop jeering and swearing and going on about what a crap movie it was at the top of his voice. He had his girlfriend with him who made a few pathetic attempts to stop him but he ignored her. No-one did anything about it as he was so drunk and aggressive no-one wanted to tell him to shut up in case they got punched…he ruined the entire film for everyone there. I was annoyed that the cinema even let him in as he was so intoxicated but thats modern cinemas in the UK for you, they don’t care who goes in as long as they pay. Another time I was watching the ‘corpse bride’ and a group of kids at the back decided to start smoking!!! Everyone gave them evil looks and tutted at them (thats the British way to kick arse! LOL) so after a few minutes they gave up and left the cinema. Recently I have become so intolerant of it I actually tell them to shut up (i’m getting less tolerant of stupidity the older I get!!) during ‘Juno’ this stupid teenage couple kept talking (the boy actually said he knew how the film ended- grrr) so I had to shush them about 10 times during the entire film…The wife and I barely bother with cinemas these days because of the idiots that inhabit them. If there is a film we really badly want to see we go to a Sunday afternoon showing and often we will be the only people in there…bliss!!

“No-one did anything about it as he was so drunk and aggressive no-one wanted to tell him to shut up in case they got punched…” I don’t get that if someone is that drunk usaly all you’ve gotta do is be a little scary and they’ll run off and if they do try to punch you how hard is it to knock them on their ass and remove them at that point, usaly all you’ve got to do is step back and they’ll face smack the floor. Of course my girlfriend and my friends tell me when I look angery I usaly get that look of “well thats it you are dead now” like the bruce lee angery look. I don’t know just what I’ve been told. O.k. the last time I had someone like that it was on a bus though it was funny to watch the asshole hang his head the whole rest of the ride.

Well I have seen enough drunks punching each other on a saturday night to know that just because they’ve had a few doesn’t mean that can’t hurt you…

I wonder how a sizzling stun gun might look in a dark theater…probably pretty menacing, even to a drunk.

I need the money for a huge TV before I can forsake cinemas completely but there was a time I would go 2-3 times a month. Now I barely go once every six months…shame.

4300 seats!!! Imagine all the kids yelling in that theater!!! You could never stop them all, it would be like most of our nightmares! But to kick in a little, I used to love going as well. Now all the theaters in my area are full of ignorant pricks who do all the typical ‘obnoxius cinema goer’ stuff. Yes you can say somthing to them, but really I am paying for this crap? I don’t usually pay to be bothered to the point, I have to start a fight in front of 100 people. Although there are people who would pay to watch it. I too will stick to my TV at home and my subscibtion to blockbuster at home.

how is that people feel comfortable being so rude???

That’s the 21st century for you!

Yeah, the mentality of people has gone south. Like the guys someone posted from utube putting fireworks up their bums. If someone had tried that around me when I was a kid they would have gotten an ass kicking long before they got the chance to light it. Not to mention they’d have been ridiculed endlessly, lost friends, and certainly wouldn’t have found a decent girlfriend for a long time. That doesn’t seem to be the case these days.

nah they still don’t find decent girlfriends. Girls like that are on the same level. The cool part is idiots like that only can make friends with other idiots which makes for a miserable exsistence.

Lynne Truss has a great book called “Talk to the Hand” about modernity and rudeness. Very funny.
