For YOU to finish your first tin of snuff? Ive been snuffing since July of last year and one of the first tins of snuff I bought was McChrystals O&G and it took me around 7 months to finish. I believe it was the first tin I polished off. I’m a couple pinches away from finishing a tin of Toque Blueberry. It’ll be the second tin I’ve finished completely and Ive had it for 9 months. I have to say that it has been great this whole time and has retained most of its blueberry scent. Its different of course in its now very dry state but very enjoyable nonetheless.
My first order was for 3 (5 g) tins of ozona fruit. It took me about 3 days to finish one complete tin. Since then I’ve placed order upon order, never getting low on anything I like and never finishing anything I don’t like.
My first tin was MCC’s O&G, the minor tin. It took about 2 months, but I was /still am snuffing other flavours & brands at the same time. I’ve since gone through about 35g of Toque W&H in about 5 months and 2 oz of HDT in about the same time. They are my go-to snuffs, though. I think I’ve only finished 4 or 5 tins - Toast & Marmalade, W&H, O&G, Ganga, F&T and I’m about to finish a tin of Old Paris. I’ve around 60 different tins/samples of snuff now and am trying to rotate them, but some still get forgotten about.
I don’t think I can remember how long it took to finish my first tin… It was rather a lot of years ago! These days I can easily shift a 10g tin of the coarser snuffs (Sam Gawith Princes Dark or London Brown for instance) in two days while not even using them exclusively. Finer snuffs last longer of course, being taken in smaller pinches.
one month roughly. I smoked a lot at the time. I was 16 it was a tin of either cherry or strawberry dean swift.
I don’t think I’ve quite finished a tin yet. I did start buying quite a lot of snuff from the start , and i go through all of them as i please. I have about 35 tins of snuff on my desk right now. Besides that snuff isn’t my only source of nicotine, i still smoke and just started snusing.
Ages for the first few tins, easily so long that they went stale, I couldn’t ever imagine finishing one. Now I could do a 25g tin in a few days.
I’ve never finished ANY yet, not even any of the 13 smash-box samples I got in the NicRush American snuff kits. I’m very close to finishing the RR Mills and Honest samples ( to adapt a phrase from Mick: “…it’s just a sniff away…”). I’ve barely ‘dented’ the sweets.
Yeah the reason its taken me so long to finish a tin is because I use other tobacco products and i have a fairly large assortment of snuffs. Even so, I still can’t imagine how you long time snuffers go through snuff so fast.
Oh i can imagine alright… Given proper conditions and circumstances I’d run through a tin of snuff like superman on speed. It’s just that I’ve never needed to :).
I have yet to empty any, or come close, yet I snuff all day every day, but I have so many, and rotate them at will. Some I use more than others, but so many I use often. I’ll post it when I do, which I suspect will be a long long time.
Ah yes, thinking of fathers… my dad has only been snuffing for about 9 months (he was a late starter at the age of 82). Lately he’s been finishing an extra large tin of O&G plus a 25g tin of J R Justice every two weeks. He also has various others on hand that he uses more sparingly. So I guess the length of time one has been snuffing doesn’t directly relate to the amount consumed.
I don’t think I’ve finished any tins yet. I have so many kinds, some have not been taken in months. I smoke a pipe, take snus, smoke hookah, and a once in a while cigar. I have finished half a can of ROoster though.
I’ve been snuffing since January, but I’ve also been getting an order of snuffs about avery two weeks. I have something like 150 tins, mostly open. I finally finished a whole tin of WoS Rum & Blackberry in late March or April, which was one of the first ones I bought. I actually favored it in order to finish it off. Now I have about 5 or 6 I’m trying to finish just so I can make some room. Its a lot of discipline not to just sniff whatever I want whenever I want. So I’ll probably have about 6 more empties by the end of the week.
I have about 40 empty tins that I have finished that I have saved. I like to keep them for bulk orders and homeade snuffs. I think the first tin I got of McC’s O&G was a med. sized tin and I finished it in a week and a half as all I had before that were American snuffs and I just could not get over how easy it was to take compared to the Americans.
Ermtony - yes that is interesting to see that the amount of snuff used is not always directly related to the amount of time someone has been snuffing.
If I remember correctly the first tin of snuff I had was in 1982 or 83 lasted about 2 weeks or so. That was some Dr. Rumney’s medicated. Now for the modern view, the first reorder was Wilsons Honey Menthol. The most I can say I have had in a day is a 5g of Wilsons Jockey Club. I like that stuff when I am doing school work.
I still haven’t finished one! LOL
I’ve only finished 4 so far.
I take it back, I’ve finished a can of Taxi! Love that stuff. Time to take another one out of the freezer.
