Hi guys! I found out yesterday, by accident really, that I can now almost snuff any snuff without it hitting my throat… : I take a pinch, and keep my finger as much as possible at the front of my nostrils… almost touching the front of my nose. I does not go in my throat anymore but "lands " perfectly in the top my nose. I hope does makes sense with my English Mitch
Congratulations, and yes your English is fine. It took me a while to find my “groove” per say but when I did snuff was way more enjoyable knowing I wouldn’t have to fear throat burn.
I’am the same way if I go for the front of the nose I find it much easier to snuff. It allows me to take it casualy. Though for schmalzers I pinch it right up to the biggest part of my nostril.
Spot on Mitch! And remember its NOT a speed contest! Nowhere does it say anywhere that I need to take my pinch in a nano second! I CAN take my time getting my pinch right in size, pressure, and sniffing it. :o)
For me, the best technique is to not use my lungs at all to snuff. Rather, I “close” up my mouth and then rapidly drop my jaw and tongue from my palate. Creates a “whiff” that pulls finer snuffs like scotches right in with no risk of flying down my throat. For heavier or coarser stuff I bring the lungs into play, since you’d really have to work to inhale those…
That’s easy, snuff sober! Sometimes you might just want to choke on it though, you know? Some of my best snuffs have been full bore suck 'em up cloud bursts. Nice! Double post…
@Mitceltn, I thank you, sir!! I’ve tried your method and it’s perfect. It works so well with Levi Garret, I must have taken at least 5g already this morning. A total new experience for me.
Hey Pieter, glad it does for you what it does for me I was pretty amazed bye it too
