Hi I’ve mostly been a spooner but recently started pinching more. I used to pinch by squeezing the snuff firmly between finger and thumb. I’ve just been experimenting with pinching only gently squeezing the snuff. This approach seems better to me. So how much pressure do you apply when pinching?

P

Depends on how fine and dry it is. The finer/drier it is the harder I pinch to keep it in my fingers better.

I pinch hard enough to break bones. It’s the only place I’am strong though. I’am kind of like a crab that way.

lol @bob not laughing at you just the description. Back to the subject it depends on the snuff for me. If it’s a heavy moist snuff then I only gently squeeze my fingers together if it’s really dry like a scotch or a toast then I pinch as hard as I like.

"So how much pressure do you apply when pinching? " Enough to get the tobacco from the can to my nose…

Hard enough to make it giggle, but not so hard as to make it yelp.

LMAO at @Xander

as gently as possible

The harder I pinch, it turns the snuff into a pancake like form and requires more sniffs to finish the pinch. The lighter the pressure, the less required sniffs.
