I snussed 7 white General portions today and snuffed about two grams of mostly toque and cherry poshl. A few pinches of honest. I like the scotch by itself but when snuffing the toque vanilla snus always sounds really good. It appears snus and other forms of tobacco are quite popular on these forums, and I was wondering what other peoples consumption of snuff and snus/chew dip, cigs is. Do you like to snuff while you use snus? Personally I like to take a large pitch and then go for a portion or pris, with maybe a pinch during the snus. Is this excessive? I find it keeps my dip or cigarette needs at bay. I am using regular strength portions by the way. I have a tin of jakobsens that I’ve had for almost three weeks, I like a strong portion once in a while in the morning or late at night
@sly3904 … nothing is excessive if it can keep you away from cigarettes. your consumption rate is like mine. i like snus … a sterk in the AM, regular portions during the day, a pinch or two of loose, 8-10x using some snus a day, more if needed … and a bump of snuff, could be every 1/2 hour, every hour, every 5 minutes … depends on how tired i am or what fires i am fighting off at work or with the kids, the mrs. or the golf course. there just is no set amount when battling cigarettes … the net of it is that even if you took a pinch every 5 minutes and had a snus in your mouth all waking hours, you are light years ahead in health versus smoking cigs. and, as snuffster and all others will mention … there is never “too much” snuff … i agree.
Use as much as you like, if you enjoy it do it. Stefan
When I saw the heading of this thread, I thought it had something to do with sex.
@Pieter You’re not getting younger!
Idk if it’s bad and “maybe” I’m just a huge nic fan, but most of the time I’m doing snus, then as soon as I spit it out I’ll light my pipe and do snuff. And this is about 10 - 15 times a day!
I do it all day long as well a my pipes & cigars.
@perique, how old are you then? I mean, to be able to “do it all day long” you must be very young and strong.
I never really like to snuff, when I smoke. I find the flavour of the smoke or snuff competes with the other. When I do smoke, I’m much more of a pipe smoker, though cigars will catch my fancy every once in a while. I have not smoked in quite a while, honestly. It has to be near a month. Not to do with the thought that I no longer like smoking, but I often do not have the time to dedicate 2hrs to a bowl. I can’t stand starting a bowl and quitting a 1/3 of the way down. Such is life. I snuff ten times a day. Probably twice each way, when I’m stuck in traffic.
@minux, I agree with you all the way. I like to finish a bowl in one sitting. I also love to let smokke escape via my nose to enjoy the different aromas. So I do not snuff while smoking my pipe. Once I’ve finished my last pipe of the day, I will sit down in front of the TV en enjoy some snuff.
In my land,when I was child,at 6, my father used to give me 50 g of snus for the morning walking the long way to school …And my three tins 10 g scotch snuff…Old,old good times… … (lol)
It’s a joke,but,really,a grandfather to a friend of my father,who lived close to germany(alsace), (the grandfather),every days of his young scolarity,went to school with a small botlle of “snaps”,a strong alcohool of rye
@PieterClaassen. I’m glad to hear that I am not the only one! It seems that the older I get, the less I enjoy smoking. I really do enjoy pipe smoking and love the historical developments of it. But, it is a very difficult thing to find the time to enjoy, now. The good thing is, I’m not snuffing and thinking, jeeze, I wish I were doing this.
so what does it mean if i snuff, smoke, snus and chew?
@falconfive, it means that you, like me, love tobacco!!
I guess that makes you guys quad users
@PieterClaassen I just turned 63, practice makes perfect
There is no form of tobacco I don’t use but I limit cigarettes to rare occasions. I was stranded in the countryside this week and had to resort to RYO tobacco from a village shop. It kept me sane, but reminded how unpleasant it is to be reliant on cigarettes. Actually, its the first time I have been without snuff for a long while (4 days in all) and wow, do you miss it when there is none to be had.
