Help with Dragun (and other fine/dry snuffs?)

My way to get used to finer snuffs was a) try it often. Even if you think this stuff i unsnuffable, it will work one day and you won’t be able to say exactly how. Just like riding a bicycle or playing didgeridoo. and b) take a small pinch between thumb and forefinger, sniff softly as if smelling a flower and while doing so vary both the distance from your nose as well as the strength of your inhaling, so you can find the optimum force and distance. However, practice is the most important thing. My first real fine snuff was Dholakia Sparrow Plain and I put it away after the second try, thinking that’s impossible and also not worth it. When I got the next, Irish D by GawithHoggarth, my thought was almost the same, but I also got quiet angry because I really liked the smell and taste. So I forced myself to try it again and again and now it’s my favorite snuff that gets me through the day. When I got back to the sparrow I found myself to be perfectly able to take pinches almost up to the maximum size of pinch I’m ready to take with any kind of snuff. Well, maybe I’m the kind of person who’d enjoy banging his head against the wall if it just delivered nicotine, but enjoyment is all it’s about, I think. :slight_smile:

Adding moisture, and the ‘plug’ technique work.

It happened to me but… I didn’t give up and i used cheta snuff to brush my teeth :-t

yes practice is right. Did anyone need so many lessons on how to smoke?

Bang on the nail as usual Bob.

When someone has the same nose as me that is when I can give them proper advice. Though here is one fact that might help. When you have your lungs partialy filled it changes the air pressure which makes it harder for snuff to get into the throat. Second fact pain is natures way of saying you’re doing something wrong.
