How do you take snuff?

When I started i used the back of my hand. Now I usually spill a bit on my thumbnail and then sniff twice. Ive tried lines but then it gets into my throat everywhere aswell. Ive also seen people taking pinches but you can’t wide open Pöschl’s boxes. How do you sniff snuff?

Pinching for me is the only way to go, even with Poschl, you tip a bit on the back of your hand and pinch from there. Stefan

Pinching is my preferred method but also use bullets quite a bit. Fortunately, the only Poschl I really enjoy much is Packards Club and the dispenser can be used as a bullet of sorts with a little practice.

Walrus 1985, that’s the way to go, for ME!! Either pinch from a snuffbox or tin, otherwise tip some tobacco on the back of my hand and pinch from there. Bullets deliver to small amounts at a time. To much trouble to turn, shake, turn, sniff… takes to much time for to little snuff!! When I want snuff, I want it NOW!! But, every rooster on his own “snuff heap”, there is NO right or wrong as far as taking your snuff is concerned. You do it the way YOU like it. Period.

Pinching is the thing. You can do it with Poschl by just tipping abit into the palm of your hand and pinching that. It seems to be the only neat way of taking snuff, with the possible exception of a bullet.

I like pinching so far. I have Poschl, so I had to tip some into my hand first like snuffster says, but the pinch keeps it from making a mess.

Always pinched - still do :slight_smile:

Viking, I agree, Wilsons make very nice snuff indeed. I also love their snuff. Where do you buy 250g containers? But you should really try some Toque, Roderick makes some wonderful snuff. My favourites are Toque, Dholakia, Wilsons and Bernards. Cheers Pieter

The Wilsons I’m talking about is Wilson’s of Sharrow. Wilsons No99, which I don’t like, is from J&H Wilsons. The fact that Toque snuffs are shipped post free makes a big difference especially if you compare prices with snuff from the USA. I’m not keen on menthol myself but McChrystals O&G is very nice. I use it every day.

I tend to put the snuff on the back of my hand and either sniff from there or pinch. I have a snuff bottle with a spoon in which I use for finer grinds. Not really too keen on bullets. Actually, have just found out they’re pretty handy if you fancy a snuff whilst washing up!

Here’s a good way I found early in my snuffing career. Works great for the Poschl type containers even on a windy day. Very little loss if any. Tom NicotineRush.com

Was there supposed to be a link in there, bakdoor?

the picture doesn’t show?

And here. I often use that method with Schmalzlers when I’m outdoors. Very effective.

Nope. Can’t see a picture. Stupid computer.

Don’t see it here either…

bakdoor that is how I often do snuff like poschels or any that come in the tap out containers. It definatly works on windy days well. Though I just love my spoon it’s my favorite way to snuff. No snuff box yet but a nice spoon.
