I know this question has been asked before, but with all the new members I thought it would be fun to ask again.

How much snuff do you use on a daily basis?

I’m currently at about 3 - 5g per day.

Averages out about 5g at the moment. I think my use has increased a bit since last time this one came around.

oh dear gods, I have to do math…okay, I’ve been snuffing for about a month…just about 3 weeks in I had to get a new can of snuff, and right now it’s only scotches…an average american scotch comes in a 30g tin I think, 1.15oz…so I guess about 8-10g a week, so divide that by 7…sooo…roughly 1.5g a day give or take. Somebody feel free to correct me if I’m wrong…

My daily intake ranges anywhere from 0.5g a day to +5g a day depending on my mood and how much snus I take or bowls I smoke.  Somedays I’ll take very little snuff and some days I take a pinch every 10mins or so.

This snuff box filled daily. On a heavy day filled twice. How much would that be?

Can’t see the box too well, but the crown moulding is lovely.

The only one I use, just a modern silver one from snuffstore. Its a bit battered but I love it. I have lots but hardly ever use them.

Snuffster you can mail it to me and I can weigh it empty and full…of course scientific experiments of this type take a very, very long time. You have to check your numbers numerous times and the filling and emptying it with various types of snuff…very time consuming
:))

Yeah sure, Just send me your mailing address - I appreciate the time factor but of course you can’t rush these things.

Slide - Remember to log the relative humidity often!

Absolutely…in Louisiana that is very high…To fully investigate it I would probably need to take it to various climates and altitudes…

At the very least! And I understand the various drinking establishments have differing amounts of free base ethanol vapor that could affect the total equilibrium also! This is going to take some time!

One must also consider oxidation… at high rh it must be a consideration.

There are a couple old videos floating around on here that show some ‘old timers’ going at it with some serious snuff intake that always give me the incentive to practice the habit more wholeheartedly!

I think i found one bart.

It definitely inspires me to practice…  (its a joke btw)

Not exactly like that. If you look up “Bernard Schnupstabak” on YouTube. I’m not familiar with pasting a link,sorry… 

{To add to this, the quick shot of the man with the small cigar in the beginning of the video is none other than Al Lewis ( Grandpa on the TV series “The Munsters” back in the early 1960’s) who was rumored to be employed at Bernard for a time }

Depends on what snuff I bring with me and if I have work that day, If I am at work at the factory I use it a LOT, but when I work at subway i dont like to use it because somtimes I sneese and thats the worst thing to do when you are making a customer a sandwitch… Also when I am very cold I dont like to use snuff so I tend to primarily use it indoors on really cold days, limiting my use

In a week I probably use 4 grams, 8 grams if I include the schmalzlers.

I probably go through a gram and a half to two grams a day.  The weather here today is nice, cool and moist.  Great conditions for my nose, it has even been oversnuffed today but still no blockage or congestion.

I use 1-4 grams a day depending on whatever else I’m doing. (dip, pipe, and yes I still smoke a few cigarettes a week)

I think Im at 3-4 grams a day. Its hard to say as I dont have anything in smaller than 10 grams, and I am exclusively using cleaned out carmex tins for my daily use. 

I’ve remained fairly consistant at 5 g - 7 g per day.

3-5g a day like original poster.

Currently around 2 grams a day

0 to 5 grams/day. Depends on lots of things.

Round about 5 gr. I think.

i’d say 1-3 gr as well

@Zanaspus it is absolutly the same for me ^^

Anywhere between 1g and 10g per day. My snuff intake is less if I’m using makla or twist.

I’m guessing a g or two a day.

About 10 g a day but I don’t use the really fine snuff unless it is mixed with something moist/coarser.

@Avedis I bow to your greatness.

Whoa. I just emptied out half of one of my 10 gram tins to see what 5 grams looked like it floored me. I take nowhere near that much. I have done though, I’ve taken huge pinches before but it made no difference to me, it was just the same as a little pinch, same amount of flavour, and lasts as long. So I am curious as to why the guys who take more do take more? What’s the difference?

Theatre, I know what you mean. At a guess I’d say I was probably in the 0-3 gramme range. I don’t think I could use much more without some serious congestion

For me, it’s about the nicotine I need to keep me off/minimize cigs. I just did a test, and it takes .5g of Toque Quit in less than 15 minutes before I feel the nic. That is why I usually supplement with SNUS. I’m going to try the same test with FUBAR Shot of Rum tonight.

I’ve found I don’t so much feel the nic as not really think about smoking. I’m still smoking on occasion when out with friends. I usually take a pinch every twenty minutes or so and smoking doesn’t really enter my mind

I did some math based on how long it took me to snuff up my last order and I average about 9-10g a day, but when I’m using finer stronger snuffs I think it’s closer to 5g.

Since bringing snus in to my life, my snuff usage has gone down from around 10g per day to 3-5g per day.

2-3 grams Not nearly as much as I use to, I dip,snus,smoke pipe,chew tobacco . I don’t have snuff cravings like the D,S,C habit That’s like ounces.

5-10g of snuff a day, a couple of evenings out of the week it’s the baccy pipe or snus/Cope.

I haven’t got a clue. Switching between flavours doesn’t make it particularly easy to keep track of consumption. I wouldn’t expect it’s no more than 1.5g daily though even on a heavy day

Probably about .5g to 1g a day.

Wow… 5g a day. I’m little bit consoled, because I’ve been thinking my nose won’t withstand my dose at long time. Now I see that I’m not the only one who loves taking so much snuff. One Gawith lasts for a 2-3 days. If I’m switching flavours, it lasts for a week, maybe. Anyway - 2 to 4g a day. But it depends - sometimes I snuff just twice a day, sometimes I can’t stop snuffing all the time. And when I’m in bad mood I take more.

Some days I go through 10g…

Some days I go through 10g…

Do you take from hand or in other way?

Do you take from hand or in other way?

Back of the hand or pinch, as suits the snuff and the mood.

3-4 pipes and 1-1.5g of snuff and everythings all good. On days when i have schmalzlers you can add 1-2grams to that. Mmmm Schmalzler…

Between .5 and 1 gram a day.

Same. .5 to 1 gram. But i noticed that i use it every day more and more.

On days when I don’t smoke the coffin nails about 5-8grams on days I do about 1-3 grams. If there is alot of stress I smoke… gotta figure out how to get past that

@jayson have you tried pipes or cigars? Same ritual, stronger nic hit, none of the cancer

Some days I go through 10g…

10 grams!!! @ermtony Truly you are a mans man!

average 4-5 grams … Gotta be easy… I’m sure on certain days… ( how much turkey do the common American eat on thanksgiving? As much as they like. Same with snuff )

@Bignose I don’t know about that. Just plain greedy more like! I don’t do that much every day of course. On the other hand I have been known to shift 5g of HDT in the course of a long evening in the pub…

I just started yesterday and today, now that I have become better at the technique of pinching and just basically smelling it and not snorting it, i have probably snuffed like 6 small pinches.

1 to 3 grams currently.

Since I am no longer using 7 g tap boxes I don’t have a reliable scale anymore. I am using a minimum of one 3" heartwood snuffbox filled, pretty much to capacity, every day.

Yeah I think the reason some of us go through such large amounts a day is really large pinches; when I’m using coarse snuffs I’ll do them off my hand or fingernail and one pinch can be as much as .5g

@horus92 that’s a good thought. I can go all day without on most days so It definitely is just a pacifying behavior.  I own a pipe, but haven’t taken the time to find any tobacco I like… I guess I have something to do this weekend lol.

Around 5grams a day. It helps reducing the amount of cigs I smoke.
