I dont get the pain anymore… I want that sinus searing OMG this is good pain.
I would call it all of the above as the Single Modifiable Pinch Technique. Yowzer!!!
I guess I could have explained it a little bit easier, huh? Here are my new instructions: Snuff just like you always do, just don’t use your lungs. No lung usage = no snuff in the lungs. You can still get stuff high or in the back of the throat if you aren’t careful, it just takes the lungs out of the equation, and I feel it makes it easier to get the elusive quick but gentile sniff that is needed.
Tip: If you play a wood/brass instrument, it is done by quickly changing your embouchure. If you haven’t played an instrument like that, ignore the tip entirely.
If you did that and combined it with inserting a large pinch (3 or 4 times your usual) a few mlls inside, or up, the nose before making that short, sharp but gentle - or shallow - insufflation.
For those new to the site; usually a bigger pinch reduces the burn, sneeze etc. Don’t try with toasts until you are very happy with your technique.
Wow this forum is educational and fun too

I purchased WoS Irish toast #22 and Toque W&H. First time with this powdery fine snuff and pretty much all if it ended in my lungs! Just tried this method and job done…great tip. I will spend the evening enjoying my new buys…awesome. 
Tried this with Dholakia White and got some on the roof of my mouth. Otherwise, it seems to work!
I been getting a tickle like I have phlegm around Adam’s apple area kinda paranoid if I’m getting it into my lungs little by little. I hope it’s just in my throat. Not my lungs. I guess I would be feeling pain and coughing a lot. Just have that tiny buildup phlegm feeling on throat. Feels like I need to get somthing up. Hope it’s a cold
Tried it and love it.
Thanks
Nice I’m gonna try that as well tonight
I’ll probably be laughed at here lol but I’m just digging the schmalzlers better. I actually prefer the coarser moister snuffs probably a bit of paranoid about finer stuff reaching lungs but I still use the finer snuffs anyway. But reach for the Old Mills and the Shmalzlers more and old mill snuffs his grinds are very easy to use as well. Do youz agree on the ease of use of old mills grinds?
Something that I do is… if I can describe it…
So to get the idea, you pinch both of your nostrils together, and then try to keep them stuck together after letting go. This takes some suctioning that can be done without the use of the lungs. I think I feel the effort coming from the throat region, so I guess it’s similar to the dropping of the adam’s apple/jaw. It’s also similar to the throat pop I think, but “popping” the throat get it too far up for me. Plug up one nostril and try to use that suctioning method to get snuff up the open nostril. With practice, it can be done without plugging up a nostril. It doesn’t seem to matter whether your lungs are full of air or emptied. I don’t know if that description makes sense, but that’s how I take anything finer/drier that Toques - and some Toques for that matter.
