so far I given 4 pinches out and 2 have come back for more
Ive given out loads of pinches to most of my family and friends over the years. One brother could never get used to it but my other is now a casual snuffer when he meets me. In all that time - near on three decades - I think only two people took it up, and as we were all part of the heavy metal scene at the time I think they only did it to be crazy.
I have sent several tins to friends who snus, but never given a pinch in person.
I’ve given out a few pinches. I’m the only person in this area, I believe, that uses nasal snuff. Most people that I talk to about snuff don’t even know you could sniff tobacco up your nose. A couple dippers I work with will ask me for a pinch or two if they run out. Makes em sneeze like hell. I’ve never turned anybody on to it really, but I’ve only been snuffn for a couple months yet…
Very close to getting my younger brother hooked…getting him on the ToqueQuit to start off and off the cigs …
i got a dude at work hooked on snuff and on SG’s golden glow. he had bought a canister of levi but was doing it wrong. he actually was snorting it, with the obvious result being: this is not for me. lol i had to school him. he had no idea regarding the wonders of european snuffs.
My sister has had a few pinches and likes it 
Most of my smoking (and a few curious non-smoking) friends have been offered pinches; some have started asking for a pinch, most just try it the once, but two or three have actually started buying their own. On Friday a friend over from Paris tried some Sturco, she liked it so much I gave her the tin.
I usually pass around pinches and I’ve had quite a lot of takers but most only try it once or twice , and usually when they’re drunk. So far I’ve given out about 10 tins to people that seemed interested: Three were to complete strangers. Two of them asked me to buy more for them. They use it occasionally. One’s a smoker the other one never used tobacco before. Another snuffed his way through a tin and stopped. One actually quit smoking for about a month using snuff , then relapsed into smoking and gave up on snuff due to chronic congestion (poschl , what can i say ) I’ve met only two other people that used snuff “independently of me”, way out on the other side of the country. One of them used to act like a regular tony montana with the stuff. I have myself received 2 tins of snuff from friends that knew i liked it.
My friends are chicken.
my granddaughter took a little snuff the other day, but all I had with me was Garrett. I may have done more harm than good.
@ Carol "My friends are chicken. " Possibly cut their snuff sample 50/50 with a bit of grit?

all of them
Most of my friends eschew tobacco–but still I offer if the snuffbox comes out. It’s like passing the pepper as well when someone asks for the salt, just comme il faut. The only one to take me up on it was my friend’s fiancée, “Oh, I’ll try anything once.” (Lucky bastard my friend is.) It was Gold Crest and she did admirably for a first-timer, but I don’t think she’ll be trying any more.
Well most of my “pub” friends (say four or five guys) will enjoy a pinch or two of the snuff that I’m actually using at the moment. They enjoy it most of the time so I should really consider giving them a tin or two as a gift sometime in the future.
I’ve been to Poland last week and offered a pinch to my sister, brother in law and to one of their friends. They liked it that much that I had to give them my freshly bought tins of Aecht Altbayerischer and Dholakia Coconut&Toffee, and bought them some Wilsons and Gletcher Prise. Now I gotta do some shopping for myself
@biskup666 Nice Mr. Pink avatar! I love Reservoir Dogs, a Quentin Tarantino classic.
