Sometimes if I do to many varieties in a day I get clogged up for a bit ( mucous membranes swell up ) I have good technique to hit lower nose just right, but still happens… WHICH SNUFFS CLOG YOU UP?
American Peach Great snuff but dries my nose out quick
@MattheFox…honey bee does the same thing to me as Garrett peach… I tend to leave them alone… Rare occasions
used to poschels now it’s none.
Clog me up which snuffs? Well, clogs me up snuffs menthol, generally.
Menthol is the #1 instigator for me. With time the intensity and duration are somewhat lesser but still…menthol it is.
Menthol and also snuffs with paraffin oil make my sinuses swell more or less. Bergamot gives me a slight allergy type reaction which will have me sneeze once or twice when its time for another pinch.
@stogie Menthols aren’t my favorite at all… They will clear me up…for a wee bit…a short wee bit. Like ten minutes… But than I think membranes are affected from it and swell up anyway, eventually clogging me up…
I hardly use menthol snuffs and I haven’t had my nose completely clogged in a while, but usually towards the end of the day as I lay down at least one nostril tends to clog. I think it’s just the way laying down works on my sinuses or something. It usually just means I have to blow my nose when I wake up to make room for the first pinch of that day.
Schmalzlers seem to clog me up, and so does Dholakia Black and Swiss Chocolate. I seem to be able to mitigate the Dholakia clogging by mixing them with Dholakia White, or at least snuffing the White right behind them. Even if they clog me up, if I like them, I’ll still use them.
Sadly Grand Cairo, which I love, but must use in moderation
Schmalzlers and really any bigger grind snuffs clog me up but only for a couple minutes but that is expected with a bigger grind. Besides that there really isn’t another snuff that swells up my nasal cavity
I’ve noticed that as I’ve gotten better at snuffing and don’t get snuff too far in that even snuffs that used to clog me up terribly don’t anymore. Though often if I over sniff almost any snuff will clog me up somewhat.
@TomStrasbourg…funny you should mention laying down ( excuse me for getting off topic ) but if I snuff laying usually with a tin or snuffbox on my chest, it all hits the throat pretty bad… Start coughing a bit… Remedy stand or sit when snuffing.lol Learned a lot from this thread… Thanks everyone for responding… Look forward to more members experience with clogging
Are there snuffs out there that completely dissolves in your nose? Almost like instant coffee, if not, is it possible to make something like that?
Nah that would be cool though, the only downside to snuff is having to blow your nose.
@celsen sugar snuffs tend to, though they are white and non nicotine. i see how this would be useful haha- but actual tobacco wont dissolve. it would need to be something like a sugar snuff that contains the alkaloids of tobacco.
SG Black Coffee is a bit of a clogging snuff for me. I don’t mind as it means I can make the tin last longer.
I have a wicked rebound effect from all medicated snuffs… I also got really clogged from making a snuff out of Captain Black pipe tobacco but thats just because Im an idiot. 8-}
For me a better question is which snuffs DON’T clog you up, as most do. With a few exceptions plain, dry, fine snuffs are the only ones I can use all day every day without stopping up my tubes. Most of the few exceptions are Indian. That doesn’t stop me from using scented and coarse snuffs pretty regularly but I usually have to rotate them.
