This question is for the people that take copious quantities of snuff per day, like 5+ grams kind of copious. I’ve read on here that some people rarely ever blow their noses, some as few as twice a day. So, how in the heck to you get the snuff out of there? After about a gram so far today, there are times when there just wasn’t any more room for the stuff to sit around. Do you just snork it up and spit it out? I just remember a couple people saying they took 7+ grams and wow…it would just be dribbling out of my face if I didn’t have a good way to get rid of it. Or, is the infrequent blowing just for light suffers?
Personally, I don’t really sniff that much snuff… And I do blow my nose more often than those people who only blow it twice… But lots of the snuff that goes up my nose ends up being sniffed back I believe, and sometimes eventually swallowed… Especially the Zwiefacher, that shit just wont stay in my nose, so I attempt to sniff it back in there so it doesn’t run out, and usually what happens is that it is sniffed to the back of my throat, where it is swallowed LOL . That’s just me though. Anyone else? 
Some people on here have REALLY large noses…
I just blow as necessary throughout the day. How often really depends on the snuffs I’m taking. Some, like Irish D Light, seem as if I could put a whole 25g tin up my nose with room to spare. Others require a good blowing after each pinch. I would guess the answer you’re looking for would be to find a snuff whose scent you like that falls into that first category.
HEY, my nose is rather large >:-|
Thank God for large nostrils.
I have always thought that a lot of it goes down the back of my nose and gets swallowed, but even so, I’m quite a light user and I too am gobsmacked at how people manage to consume so much! I am glad you posted this thread, because I’m still smoking at the moment. When I decide to give up, I’ll be taking a lot more snuff, so the logistics interest me a great deal.
I always blow my nose. Even when I’m not snuffing, but especially before a snuff.
I snuff probably 3gs or so a day. It can be as much as 5 or 6g’s. I don’t blow my nose that much. maybe 3 times a day or so. I’m assuming it just drips and eventually the snuff gets swallowed. No, it doesn’t make me sick. It took me awhile but I’m used to it now. I can however, get congested and need to blow if I use coarse, moist snuffs. However, I use mostly medium moisture to dry snuffs so I don’t get stuffed up that much. I think you just get used to snuff in your nose. I can take snuff, and smell all the scents in it, AND smell food that’s cooking, flowers, etc. I can still discern what’s going on around me. I dunno if anyone else is that way, but I like it. I snuff all day and don’t have any problems…knock on wood
I think you adapt to it after a while. I used to blow my nose all the time but I’ve been doing it for a year and usually only blow my nose immediately in the morning after a shower or glass of water. I tend to suck it to the back instead of blowing because it’s more convenient. It depends on the snuff though. I’d say drier snuff like WoS makes me need to blow more often (opposite transistor above me). Moister, coarse snuff like 6 photo doesn’t. The menthol in it probably keeps my sinuses flushed or something.
@transistor : I am pretty happy at the fact that the tobacco drip doesn’t make me sick. Is it the chemicals in chewing tobacco that make people ill if they are swallowed…? I don’t mean to ask YOU directly I am just curious LOL
I used to blow my nose after every pinch. After about 5 years of using snuff every day, I only blow about once every 3 days. When the matter gets to a point where it can’t be blown out anymore, I use a little snuff spoon to dig it out.
@MikeMoose - It is just the sheer amount of juice that usually gets people sick. Tobacco juice is unpleasantly strong (especially when it first gets good and juicy) and rarely swallows as well as it tastes in the chewing. MUCH more pukalicious than nasal drip from snuff. How (and if) the tobacco is sweetened can help a little but not much.
@PieterClaassen That’s extreme! I am noticing that I notice snuff in my nose a lot less these days, but I don’t know if I’ll ever get to that point.
I think swallowing tobacco juice just gives too much nicotine. The tiny amounts we snuff pales in comparison, chewers spit out a lot of excess nicotine.
All of the chewers I know gut the juice. I don’t know if I could handle that. The juice is foul (which is why I don’t chew), and it’s potent stuff.
I try not to swallow any of the drip. tobacco in the gut… not a good idea.
So far I haven’t noticed a really bad drip with anything but FUBAR Shot of Rum. That stuff feels like my sinuses are draining something entirely putrid. I’ve had an occasion drip off others, but it’s usually when I sniff it in a bit high, so I blame that on myself.
I like to get the drip, however it depends on the snuff - some got a horrbile throat drip, like some Schmalzers do. About how often i blow my nose, not sure - it depends totally one the snuffs i take. Some i can take the whole day without a need to blow others will only last 10 minutes.
@nightcap : Elaborate Mr.Cap, why is tobacco in the gut not so great? Is it the sick factor? Or something more…? EDIT : @Prismaster : Personally man, I LOVE the drip from Bordeaux, I think it’s awesome :-P. Zwiefacher was a strong drip at first but I just got use to it
