Boxcar, or spoon. multiples, “because you can’t eat just one chip”
Big pinches using middle finger rather than forefinger.
Back of the hand for all but the very finest of snuffs, but reading here maybe I should try it with the scotches and toasts too!
back of the hand is pretty much the only way I’ll take my scotches. I end up blending most of my snuffs with a scotch, which is why back of the hand tends to be the way for me.
I use my Czech pipe tool spoon almost exclusively.
I just used a key, worked pretty well though I’d like a proper snuff spoon.
Back of hand or pinching (thumb and forefinger or middle finger), about 50/50. It depends on the box I carry it in. Very finely ground snuffs (e.g. Elephant or Dholakia White) I pinch only, so only 60% will end up in my windpipe, and not the whole pinch.
Pinch toasts, boxcar most dry to medium, Spoon Schmalzler and other heavy damp snuff .And I use my pipe tool for 6 photo special
Pinch, Boxcar, custom spoons.
I didn’t get on well with pinching at first, so I used a spoon for the first couple of years. Then I saw a video on here of an old guy taking some snuff and noticed he used his middle finger. I had been using my forefinger, so gave the middle finger a try. It transformed my snuffing experience. I found I could take much bigger pinches using the middle finger which made taking all the very fine, harder to sniff snuffs very easy to take. There isn’t a snuff I don’t take large pinches of. And you get so much more nicotine. One of my pinches is equal to about 4 snuff spoons worth. Pinching makes snuff so much more enjoyable.
The pinch. Dirty fingernails are just another badge of honor.
I like to take a spoonful of SNAFU and flick the bottom of the spoon, just under my nostril, and rocket that magic right into my snuff pocket.
Can’t get past the pinch method. I like dry snuffs and it is the only way I can get the control I need.
I’m exclusively a boxcar guy…
I find the back of the hand makes my eyes run - perhaps that’s just some psychological thing to do with my old geography teacher though, whenever I took the back of his hand it also made my eyes water not to mention the headache for the rest of the day. Pinching for finer stuff gives me a lot of control and boxcar for coarse grind is generally the way to go for me.
I mostly use the thumb and middle finger…using ring or forefinger to close a nostril. But for coarse snuffs or most Poschl tapbox offerings or Schmalzlers, I prefer back of hand or boxcar.
The pinch…I believe I finally mastered it.
Pinch 90% of the time and the boxcar method the other 10%
big flex straw at home that will bypass nasal hair. my cross pen when out of the house to by pass forementioned hair. this way I get better sinus coating and do not have to wash my nose out. As the kind folks here have explained: the rest goes into a back drip and I assume I’m getting some extra nicotine this way.
Someone should keep a running tab on these responses. I say someone meaning not me
