How long does it last

Hi Guys Second post :slight_smile: How long does a 25 gram tin last you ? i’m not sure on my usage yet Regards Shaun

well it can depend on how hard you hit that one tin… For me a 25 gr tin Tom Buck is 5-6 days a 25gr tin of say hdt is about 10- 14 days 10 gr of anything good 2 days tops… Btw Welcome

About 10-14 days for me. Stefan

I wouldn’t worry about your usage. Alot of these fellows use a ton of snuff. some don’t. I use about 25 grams a year at most. but I like the variety. Toques cheeze and bacon is making me use more than my normal tho. and I’m sure if I could get spanish jewel quanities I would do more too, but I couldn’t ever see using 50 grams a year. So use what makes you comfortable. IMHO I think 25 grams should last a normal user at least a few months. but what do I know…

This is like estimating the gas milage for your car using miles driven against amount of gas put in (snuff used/snuff acquired). The real concern is not running out of gas!

I wouldn’t run out of gas for possibly the rest of my life already but I don’t even come close to many members here. Since June I’ve gone through four 25-grammers. I’ve finished several 10g tins too but I’ve acquired more at a much faster pace. My mix of snus and snuff is finding it’s natural order at about 50/50 but then again it depends on many factors. I just ordered a cache of snus that I didn’t need too…impulse. Oh dammit. Ha!

I suppose it depends on your response to the snuff your taking, and how much is enough to satisfy you. I’ve used 25gram tins in less than a week and had them last as long as a month. For me the milder the snuff the fast I use it. That is probably because I make large snuff lines and sniff it all up with a straw when it’s a mild snuff, but the stronger ones I prefer taking a couple pinches a nostril or using a snuff bullet. It’s all preference. One things for sure, no matter what your rate is it is sure cheaper than most other forms of tobacco, and so so good…

I was using a lot more because I was snuffing big lines, then I discovered I can get the same effect with smaller toots. I do feel guilty for not giving as much support to our good snuff dealers, but I have a lot less running out of the back of my nose into my mouth and I seem to be getting as much good out of it. A 25 will now last me a month or more.

WOW, some of you guys get through a 25 gram tin proper quick, and some take for ever. Before I had to make the switch form Swedish Snus to Snuff due to financial reasons, I’d chew from the moment I got out of bed, until the moment I got into bed :slight_smile: Constant drip feed of nicotine, all day. If I try inserting the same amount of nicotine up my nose with snuff, it drips like a tap. At the moment I’d say I’m not using that much. But, I’m sure over time that will change :slight_smile: Quick question: Does your nose stop dripping over time or, is this just an inevitable bi-product of snuff?

Your nose gets used to snuff in time and you’ll find it runs a lot less. Having said that, some snuffs still make my nose run like a tap, and I’ve been snuffing for years.

Ermtony´s right. Again. :wink: Some snuffs that caused alot of running some months before don´t do so by now. But Schmalzler ALWAYS makes my nose run fast. It´s the same with Taxi. Thinking about it, maybe it´s more likely with coarser snuffs.

For me, I’d probably clear a 25g tin in a week or less if it was all I use. But, because I have somewhere around 75 types of snuff open on my desk, I’ve yet to empty a single 25g tin since June when I started snuffing. Also, I’ve got about as many open tins of snus in the fridge at the moment, and go through snus all day long. So, without snus, it would probably be much faster. Still, there’s something interesting about snuff. Perhaps it’s the result of being a child of the 90s, but I’d say snuff creates the Pokémon effect on people. Once they start, they need to get them all. There’s such an incredible variety about snuff, and if you’re the collecting sort, there’s an element of pride at being the one to find some weird snuff no one else has tried. As others have said, your nose will get used to snuff. When I began, every pinch I’d need to blow my nose. By Septemberish, I could go all day without having to, depending on the snuffs I use. Occasionally, your nose will act up, and start running at everything though, like mine is today.

I’m three quarters way through my third 1lb cannister of WoS IHT No22 and thats just from February this year. Not to mention my regular supplies from Tim and Rodders. So judging from previous posts i appear to be a heavy user!!

I imagine I use about 25g a week. About 10g of that is McChrystals O&G which I buy in bulk, 5g or so of Hedges L260 in the mornings, 5g of an SP or lavender snuff, , 2 or 3g of a toast and 2 or 3g of a rotating variety in my collection. I now have established which snuffs I like which means I don’t have so many tins going stale these days.

I buy in bulk rather than tins, but 25 grams lasts me about three days.

Shame on you Iceman, Since you started this post I thought I would check when I last made and order… Nov 13 was the last shipment I got in… I have gone thru 2 25gr tins of Tom buck and almost finished with a third. I am now scraping the bottom of a 50 gram F&t hdt, my lotzbeck perle is on its last leg not to mention all the miscellaneous tins I have laying around and pillage through… So I guess I go through more then I first realized… I am now considering rehabilitation hopefully I can find a good out patient program=) Awe how am I kidding… I’ll have a punch for o’l time-sake!!

I use maybe 10 grams a week, but for me snuff is a secondary source of nicotine. Snus drip is constant. Snuff is more aroma therapy with benefits.

@Ibild Wow, that’s a lot. Having said that, people often said my snus habit was out of control. A constant drip feed 18hr a day. Thinking back how that started, it was slowly at first then, as soon as my body got the hang of it, game over. It’s the same with snuff. When I first started it was maybe 10grams a week. I’ve noticed over the last 14 days how a 25 tin has been dropping a bit faster than 4x4 as my body thinks “hang-on, I like this” Another thing I’ve noticed in the last couple days is, I’m dipping into the Fribourg & Treyer High Dry Toast, all the time. Three weeks ago I figured this will be the one that I pass to my kid It’s always been the same with me, a very addictive personality. Why have a little if you can handle a lot. Thing is, I can’t afford a mental out of control addiction at this moment in time @bigmick I love Snus, only got 7 los in the freezer now :frowning:

@ukiceman, I’ve only got 5 cans of lös in the freezer, but I’m still at 35 or so cans of portions. Time to reorder.

I find I haven’t acquired as many snuffs, but it’s more of a function of my wallet than anything else. I do want to try them all, but I probably only take half a dozen pinches a day (I’ll do it at my desk but not in meetings and NOT with the clients around), so it’s kinda hard to justify my getting more when I’ve already got about 2 dozen snuffs I’m slowly going through. All that being said, with the new Pöschl’s and Molens coming out, I might just have to make some orders… I also want to try more American scotches…
