Do you find snuff is better with a snuff spoon? I just bought a silver antique one which looks awesome. It just seems so much better from a spoon! http://img62.imageshack.us/i/imagesks.jpg/

It just depends on the snuff, but yes, some snuffs are way more enjoyable for me from a spoon.

I prefer the thumb and forefinger method; however, the dryer snuffs are very nice with a spoon in my opinion.

I like using a spoon. I made one from sterling that has a crook on the handle end that I can hang in front of my bench at work and use it all the time. Thatā€™s a lovely spoon you scored there, yummysnuff!

I am the same as Dogwalla, it depends. If a snuff usually lands on my clothes then I like a spoon.

I do not find that snuff is better with a snuff spoon. I find that it is the same. I am perfectly willing to do whatever it takes to get a snuff immediately into my nose whatever the method. I have spoons in a few F&T tubes, one in my open Maccoboy and quite a few with my snuff bottles. Oh, and some in my bags of Schmalzler.

I both pinch and spoon but I have to say I think the spoon gives a wider spread in the nostril and consequently a stronger smell. I pinch when out but at home I always spoon, except for very coarse snuffs. So yes, I think the spoon is superior to the punch. Just imo of course.

I use a spoon to do navigate the snuff of the tin to my hand.IĀ considerĀ my handĀ as the best ā€˜biotopeā€™ for snuff aromas.

does anyone like the acrylic bullets? So easy to fill one and throw it in your pocket, especially if you work someplace where tobacco products are forbidden. I like the convenience and discretion the bullet offers, plus the snuff always ends up where you intend it to go.

The problem with the bullet is the insanely small dose. Iā€™d much rather take a big pinch or two or tap a nice sized pile onto my hand. So they are really only good for travel, and only if you have reservations about snuffing in public, though a few do thing they work well when driving.

hadnā€™t thought about that. The small dose hasnā€™t bothered me yet 'cause Iā€™m a newb.

the way to up the dose on a bullet is to turn it two or three times while holding your finger over the hole after the last loading turn the knob so that it is closed (ready to accept snuff but not to release it.) then you have three loads instead of one. Works wonders it does and can be used with coarser snuffs.

Now that I have that stainless steel turn tin, It is my favorite way to carry snuff. I started sniffing Poschls, and most of them came in tap boxes, so I am very used to taking snuff off the back of my hand. However at home I tend to use my stainless steel snuff spoon.

I have spoons that I use once in a while. Ā I prefer the pinch method.

Snuff spoons are just an alternative, but not as effective imo, I use it just for a change. Because of the rush of air that carries the snuff, it affects placement in the nostril, and can take it down the throat. Whereas with the pinch, you can press the tips of the fingers to your nostrils and choose the angle lessening the amount of air rushing in.

I think if I had snuff spoons bigger than the freebies from mr snuff Iā€™d like me more. Compared to those my fingers or the black of the hand is much better mainly because I can get as much as I want for each nostril

Donā€™t particularly care for a spoon, I prefer the exact control of snuff with the pinch.
