Hey guys, so I am working on my technique, and yes I know these threads probably occur everyd day, and it is getting there. With the big pinches I take I know some will end up in the throat and I do get the snuff run down the throat, which doesnt bother me. My question with the pinch do you all feel it is better to just bring it up to the nose and then sniff, or do you actually place the thumb and forefinger in the opening of the nose, as to create a semi airtight seal, and then sniff. Anyways, cheers you guys. The snuff making me ask this is I love love Irish Toast 22 but man sometimes it does not love me back.
I go back and fourth between nostrils and sniff lightly kinda like i am smelling the pinch and the snuff slowly goes up both so i get more of the smell and slowly the snuff goes up both sides back and fourth that way i have longer flavor cause it does not go up and be done it smells better for longer if i do it that way , if that makes any sense lol
Usually I use the former method where you bring the forefinger and thumb partially into the nose, but I still have varying levels of success. Usually it works just fine and but there is a small amount of snuff hitting the throat sometimes. I also find it less messy when the snuff is already partially in my nose before actually sniffing. I’m sure it works differently for different people with different snuff though. But if you’re taking big pinches you’re on the right track.
I bring the pinch to my nostril and as I sniff I gently release the pressure I’m holding the pinch with
i only pinch when its windy outside or i am collecting tabledust, otherwise i am a bit grossed out knowing where my fingers have been
I’ve been shoving my fingers into my nostrils lately. It’s fortunate that they don’t fit.
I start my pinch just below my nostril and move it closer as my inhale gets weaker. While I inhale and the pinch gets smaller I rub my thumb and forefinger together to help release the snuff. Towards the end of my inhale I move my forefinger away leaving the snuff on my thumb then place my thumb directly on my nostril. Does that make sense? Sometimes when I want a good burn I jam both fingers in my nostril and snort the whole pinch with force. Man I love that feeling. I pinch with my left hand and I start with my left nostril so I can use the middle finger of my left hand to pinch my right nostril because my left nostril always seems to be a bit clogged. Sounds like a game of twister but it has become natural. I can do a healthy size pinch in 2 seconds without the world being any wiser to what I’m doing. I learned my technique from @Dogwalla in his youtube videos and just modified it to suit me. It just takes time to figure out what kind of experience you like. I enjoy a slight bit of pain because I find it wakes me up and jolts me back into reality when I’m dragging-ass at work.
Like BigDaddy- I pinch, then slide my finger over and put my thumb onto my nose. Then, I kinda jiggle my nose/thumb around to make sure I get anything that may have stuck.
I used to pinch and run away before I got slapped. Then I grew up and didn’t run. Oh so sorry were talking about snuff. Big pinches and short fast snuff,Don’t want to waste any. I just normally use my thumb nail [box car method] To on looker it doesn’t appear that I am picking my nose
