Hello. I am newbie in snuff using 
using snuff for about 3 months. And I want you to help me. So the problem: I always liked to take snuff using a pipe from paper, from etc. But now, when I snuff with the pipe, all snuff goes to my throat, and I get sore throat for a little bit of time. But no snuff goes to the right place, I mean that I dont get any effect. Often, half snuff goes to throat, and half- I donât know exactly, but I feel that other half to my ear ! that isnât very good feeling, trust me! Also, i tried snuff pinches with my fingers, but itâs no matter. So, the reasons of this bullshit? please help, give advices, thanks 
Use your hands.
sounds like you are inhaling too hard, try a large pinch gently sniffed
Its not cocaine. Donât use a pipe to take it.
if your snuff is flying up your nose at 160kph. you need to know when to apply the breaks, otherwise your eyes might crash into your brain. @-) http://snuffhouse.org/discussion/7588/favorite-snuff-taking-technique#latest hope this helps :-bd http://snuffhouse.org/discussion/7670/ooooouuuuuchh-sinus-hit#latest
First off all welcome. The best and cleanest way is the boxcar method. Just wrap your forefinger around your thumb, and fill it up with snuff (not too much in the begining), use a teaspoon if you have a tin of snuff. And then gently sniff it with one nostril (hold the other one closed), so sniffing not snorting like you are gently smelling it. Then do the other nostril. Enjoy!
Stand on your head then stick the pipe in your nose. no snorting required. I am only Joking :)) You need to develop a method that your comfortable with. A while back some were blowing the snuff in place with a bendy straw with good results,There is the traditional pinch- take a pinch between the thumb and middle finger and bring the snuff up to your nose rub finger and thumb back and forth slowly Like your singling someone for money while gently smelling the snuff, You can use a small spoon like a salt spoon with a short sniff,The box car method pictured above; Mine is a bit fuller and I like a long sniff so I can feel all the snuff traveling up, just rest the tip of your nose on your finger lean head towards nostril side, Off the back of hand or web between pointer and thumb. And then there is plugging method, stick your dose on the thumb stick it right in your nose plugging it shut, sniff three times then remove thumb,The snuff should be up there.pinch nose shut so none falls out ; repeat with other side. According to the weight of the snuff I use different methods. Fine dry grinds I will pinch, Heavy moist grinds, I will spoon up to nostril and quick sniff and Medium moisture/grind I will use the box car method. I never block the opposite nostril. Extremely fine dry snuff I will boxcar with the drop the Adams apple method ,it pulls the snuff up your nose without using your lungs. Work on your technique, The main goal is to get the snuff in your nose the most enjoyable way.

Maybe you were using a different sort of snuff thatâs coarser/moister? Or maybe your nose is more dry/less stuffy now for whatever reason.
i used jaxons snuff, now I use mcCrystals . This snuff is like a dust.

Snuffing with pipe always causes problems. Some of my buddies can not snuff no more because of pipesnuffing in the past. It just hurts them and they have immediately rhinitis.
So, the final solution is donât use a pipe for snuffing?

Itâs not just final solution. Itâs the only solution.
use the boxcar like @CVH posted the image of, or off the back of your hand, and sniff it rather than snort. you want it in the front of the nose, not all the way up your tubes or into your sinuses.
if itâs the only solution, it seems going hard because I really like pipe snuffing⌠When using pipe, you feel like taking cocaine
@scorpjon, you can still use a tube if thaâts how you like it, but aim the tube so when the snuff comes flying up, it is hitting the inside of your nose first. You will want the snuff to hit the inner surfaces of your âouterâ nose to slow it and brake itâs speed. If you put the tube in your nose so as to get the âclearest pathâ it will fire right up your nose, past your sinuses and slam into the back of your throatâŚwhich at least in my experience is pretty unpleasant. Or another way to describe it, put the tube in your right nostril. now imagine you want the snuff stream to hit the centre of your left eye ball, ( or aim for your left ear canal ) by angling the tube this way, it will force the snuff stream along the inner wall of your right nostril, thereby slowing it down and avoiding the throat hit.

:-t Iâve already told you snuff is not cocaine. It does not behave the same way in your nose. Its plant matter and oils etc. Cocaine is a highly refined chemical which dissolves in moisture. If you want to use cocaine go use cocaine. What you are doing now is snuff abuse IMO. :-q
Very, very, very gently sniff. Like you are smelling a flower gingerly, not sure about it. If you still canât get the right placement with a pinch. Try a spoon. The spoon can help you get proper placement and youâll intuitively be able to figure it out (I think). Even with a spoon though (snuff spoon not kitchen spoon), inhale very slowly and lightly. I should note even with the pinch or spoon and breathing very lightly, I still have problems with a couple and Iâve almost given up hope on them (St. Clements and one other that evades me right now), so donât get too discouraged, just try different ones and these techniques. Hopefully will help.
@Xander , I once saw a youtube video of a guy using snuff. He pulled off the top, dropped about 8 pinches down on the lid and snuffled it all up, and was quite happy about the whole thing. No flinching or anything, thatâs just how he used it. Personally I would say that is painful, ineffictive and not " in the spirit " of snuff use, but some folks like it that way. @scorpjon , use it however you like, put on your your buttered toast in the morning if that makes you happy, but most of us here tend to pinch, boxcar, back of hand or in some cases use bullets and tubes, but the method you are using sounds painful and most of us canât get our heads around it. There are tons of posts in the Snufftaking Advice, Tips, and Techniques that will give you more guidanceâŚor keep doing what works best for you. Ouch though, seriously. :-? :-??
