OK day 2 of snuffing and I am having trouble breathing. Too dry snuff? If so whats a good way to hydrate it? Or should I wait for an order of proper snuff?
May have found the solution. I found a technique on the net where you close your throat before you sniff. Seems to do the trick.
Which technique is that? I might try it myself! As I said in your previous post try some moist(er) snuff first if you go straight for dry snuff you will suffer needlessly! lol I love Zoolander, thats a very funny film!
Well you close your throat and take a quick sniff without really inhaling. It’s like a quick burst, I use the back of my tounge to close my throat quickly.
As Juxtaposer says: make like a whale and close your blow hole. In a nut shell, that is how to take snuff.
I don’t pinch snuff hardly ever, I do it off the back of the hand ritually, so I can’t help if you’re doing that. But if you ever do it off the back of the hand, just put you nose either very close to, or on the actual pile of snuff, this creates less pull since no surrounding air is drawing the snuff in so rapidly. I think that’s probably how that works at least…whether I’m wrong or right on the physics though, it still works.
@Xander It was Zonesix that said that blowhole thing, in the thread “taking toasts properly”.
Another member suggested this to me and it works everytime I take a super dry fine snuff, even Dholakia White, which will kill someone lol. Take a deep breath, as deep as you can. Hold it, and take a sniff while holding your breath in. You shouldnt be able to sniff hard enough for it to hit the back of your throat this way. Scotches, Toasts, should be no problem.
Digitalsedition; I can’t imagine that technique is very practical, you’d end up passing out after taking a few pinches! LOL
