I am using quite a bit of Viking dark and a couple of other darker snuffs at the moment mainly as I am using up stock before placing a bulk toque order over Easter when I am off work. I find that my nose gets a bit blocked over the course of the day so I have mixed up a 50/50 mix of Toque natural toast and Red Bull which I use when I get in from work. This combo really gets the juices going again and helps clear things out a bit (sorry for being so graphic). Any other snuffs or combos do it for anyone else?
Nothing makes me snot like Dr.Rumneys Exclusive, sometime i take it simply to clear.
any american scotch will open you up in a heartbeat.
Some of the Molen coarse-grind snuffs do it for me
Fubar Medic works every time for me.
Taxi Menthol clears my my nose in 5 minutes.
Whatever he’s using it seems to work for him!
I can think of no reason why but Toque Blueberry clears me up immediately.
Whenever my nose gets blocked, I fold a pipe cleaner in two and start digging out the rocks. Works like a charm.
DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME, IT’S FOR PROFESSIONALS ONLY!!!
Any Abraxas gets my nose running… which sucks because I want to keep it in there longer.
A good SP opens up my breathing without creating drip or a rebound effect. Toque Original woks best for me followed closely by WoS Best SP.
But if it is clogged due to being filled with snuff a spicy coarse grind snuff helps clean it all out.
@Masterspy Bet I know where you got that pic!
One should always keep one long, uncut fingernail for these functions.
Your finger! LOL :-P
I mixed up Toque Menthol and Superior scotch 1:4 and it gets things flowing pretty good. And it’s tasty too!
Like most people I find that scotches and SPs are great nose cleaners. That’s why they are my main all day snuffs. Menthol ones work too but only if you want to blow your nose a lot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=214NCCTNSWo#t=2s. sutra neti or if you like Nasal flossing or use a neti pot
I wan’t to try THAT
@Vito445 the cord or the girl?
That was extreme on so many levels, well not really just a few, but wow I would defiantly gag doing that. That must have taken quite a bit of concentration. She should coat the cord with snuff and see what happens!
Update: I’ve found that even for an SP Samuel Gawith’s yellow crest really cleanses the palate and clears my nose. I’m sure it doesn’t work for every single person but there’s a good chance it will
I mixed some WoS Extra Menthol with some Gekachelter Virginie and it makes things flow promptly. I also added some red pepper to a bit of 6 Photo Natural and that will really open the flood gates. Low hanging solids get the finger, so to speak
If you don’t have the patience to use a neti pot and let gravity do the work for you, go to your local pharmacy and get a NeilMed Sinus Rinse squeeze bottle. Squeezing the bottle will give you a pressurized flow up one nostril and out the other.
You can also purchase it (or a neti pot) online at: http://www.neilmed.com/usa/index.php
BTW: Don’t pay through the nose (so to speak) for those pre-measured salt packets! Just buy yourself a pound of seasalt at the supermarket. After 2 or 3 tries you should be able to figure out the correct amount of salt to put into your pot/bottle. (I use approx. 1/2 tsp. per 8 oz.)
Sutra neti IS FAIRLY ADVANCED YOGA and one shouldn’t attempt it until after you have mastered ALL of your gag reflexes.
Don’t even think about Sutra neti until after you have become proficient at Jala neti!
You also need a tube especially designed to be used for this purpose.
I’ve been taking an occasional dose of pseudophedrine HCL to clear my head and I can’t breath thru my nostrils anymore. I love the medicated snuffs but they clog me up even worse!. I’m sure lots of people here would frown on that, but I don’t think sniffing up loads of tobacco can be any healthier. At 6’4 and 210lbs, whenever I’m in mixed company and am discussing my food diet(I’ve struggled since I was in my mid 20’s to keep my weight within a tolerable range), I am always tickled to hear someone chastise me for what I eat, particularly when they are 100 or more pounds overweight and they commence to explain to me what a healthy diet consists of.
@jimmyb 210lbs (or 15 stone for the British audience) is pretty good for 6’4. I wish I could get back to that, and I’m only 6’1’.
Pseudephedrine is not good stuff in my experience - makes the blood pressure spike and the temperament pretty spiky too. Possibly not surprising given it’s one of the base ingredients for meth!
I thought Brits weighed themselves by the Kilogram. I guess the stone would be more forgiving if you were approaching the top of the stone weight.
Another option is to start munching on chili peppers as a snack food. Just make sure that they aren’t duds…
Pipecleaners!! :o3
Had some chinese take out the other day. The hot mustard sauce I poured on my egg-roll cleared the sinuses instantly. Woah!
