Dirty fingers

I know that probably wasn’t the best topic heading…but I wanted to know how everyone felt about pinching without freshly washed hands. There are plenty of snuffs that I usually take from my hand or thumbnail, but there are just as many if not more that “need” to be pinched. I work where my hands get dirty alot from what I am doing as well as shaking lots of hands and touching questionable things. I am not what you would call a germaphobe but I am concerned with putting my dirty fingers into my snuff containers as well as touching my nose since that always seems like the best way to catch an illness from the general consensus. Do you guys care if you hands are dirty when you pinch…

I always try to wash before and after taking a few pinches.

Nope… Never really thought about it nor does it concern me. Probably should though however it might not be viable when i’m out and about.

Next big snuff flavour sensation…detol antiseptic with menthol. Kills germs on contact and packs a punch!

I keep wet wipes handy.

Taxi menthol already is that.

just scoop onto back of the hand or straight to the nose with a key or pocket knife instead.

Use a bullet and pour on the back of your hand. If I’m using my snuff box I just slide it open just enough to pour from the corner and onto back of my hand

Pen caps make good scoopers in a pinch…LoL no pun intended!

I like the makeshift scooper ideas :slight_smile: I always have access to pen tops at work too. I do wind up using the back of my hand or thumb nail alot but I still can’t take the fine dry stuff any way except for pinching or shoving it up there.

not at all what I was hoping this thread was about…:wink: carry on

PP, start up the “stinky finger” thread again…

I trust in the antiseptic properties of tobacco more than I would like to, meaning I never hesitate to offer even the dirtiest scoundrel a pinch,
