I’ve been getting really bad snuff nuggets coming out of my nose . Is it just something I have to live with ?
In private, just pick 'em out and flick 'em away. Or use a handkerchief and blow 'em out. Or snuffle up a bit of water and snort 'em out. Or a neti pot for a deeper clean.

Sniffing water is good. You gotta figure it’s better than the blackness getting trapped in our lungs if we smoke… It is kinda funny what the tissues or hankies look like after a bout of Viking dark. Looks like someone just shat the hell out of it 
I usually pick them and flick them. If I’m at work, I’ll blow my nose.
@jmahes ikr! It looks like that no matter what dark snuff I use… Im cutting down on smoking pretty successfully thanks to snuff now. It was hard to begin with, but as long as I keep sniffin through the day, it seems Im more than satisfied, but I need a cig after big meals…and of course the morning cig…but I only take 1 cig in the morning now, as opposed to 3.

I use a hanky for dusting off after a pinch, and tissue for blowing my nose. If it comes out dry and flickable, that’s generally an indication that I’m not drinking enough fluids. If it’s not “muddy” for want of a better term, there’s insufficient mucous being produced for the snuff to “work” properly.

Personally, I don’t leave a hit of snuff in my nose long enough for it to dry or even start to dry , I blow my nose depending on the type of snuff after 3 to 5 minutes & repeat until satisfied, That way snuff buggers are kept at a minimum at least. Make the last hit of snuff you take one that really wets your nose a lot & you can blow most all of it out. G’Day

As has been stated, sniffing water or using nasal saline is kind of an essential for snuff takers. I also agree that letting snuff stay in your nose long enough to get dry and crusty is letting snuff stay in too long. I generally clear my nose on a regular basis through the day. If my last snuff was a coarse or fine snuff, I might go ahead and take the opposite for my next snuff without clearing my nose in between. My logic being that I will be sending that snuff to spaces in the nose that do not have snuff on them already. And yes, if you are dehydrated, snuff won’t sit in your nose very well and you won’t absorb as much nicotine, so drink water!
on extreme occasions, theres no other feeling like packing 8 hours worth of snuff up your nose then picking it in the shower then taking a fresh pinch afterwards lol.
in all seriousness i just grab a square of tissue and pick it with the tissue on my finger inconspicuously then proceed to blow my nose like normal then pick once more with tissue after blowing. its quite clean.

I use a dark colored handkerchief although I normally blow my nose quite frequently. I use mainly waterbased English snuffs which have a tendency to not stick or clog up my nose. Every other night I roll up some tissue paper and dampen them with warm water and roll it around it my nose to take out any excess, don’t use toilet paper since I find that it just falls apart when you wet it. Then I have one of those squeeze bottle sinus cleaners that use pressurized salty water once a week just to keep my sinus clean. As long as I don’t leave the snuff up my nose for hours, or leave it up my nose when I’m dehydrated I don’t typically get it turning into rock nuggets. Typically the only time I get issues is when I don’t watch my water consumption and my nose dries out.

Blow my nose, TP corkscrew, nose gargle, and TP corkscrew. Anything left after that deserves to be there.

whenever I try and corkscrew the TP it seems to just rip, could be the TP we’re buying although I believe in Australia they are designed to breakdown in water. So a damp tissue corkscrew works best for me. @WickedPissah what is a nose gargle, a sinus cleaner?

@Aamon I scoop a handful of water, and slowly and carefully inhale it into my nostrils (both at once). By continuing to slowly inhale through the nose, it actually begins to bubble (like gargling!). then exhale quickly. I’m always surprised by how much comes out. Rinse and repeat, as required. Takes a little practice but it’s like your sinus bottle, only I don’t let the water into the sinus area, just the lower nostril.
After awhile of snuffing toast and scotches, time to enjoy the schmalzler. That will clean your nose out to shove more toast and scotch. Repeat this whole process all day!

@WickedPissah would you have to lie on your back to do this nose gargle?

@Aamon not unless you are trying to drown yourself. Just lean over the sink, or do it when you shower. again, this is lower nostril only.
You guys should try a Netti Pot it’s for flushing out your nose so u can breathe better.it looks like a tea kettle but plastic.and it comes with some saline salt packets. You mix one packet of salt with a cup of warm distilled water.and u flush out your nose by going from either nose nostril. I’m sorry I can’t explain it good.look it up.it’s very good cuz I don’t have to take any drugs.to get a clear nose. :-bd It’s totally worth it.and it’s not expensive too.
