Just wondering what kind of fiends ( I mean aficionados ) we have. I vary but I think I’m around 5-7 grams a day. Sometimes a bit higher or lower. Is that a lot? What’s your usage?

Z

I’d say 3-5, sometimes a little lower.

J

0.5-2, depends on the the type of snuff, what I’m doing that day etc.

M

Probably around 3 grams a day at most if I’m primarily snuffing.  (I’m guessing, since I rotate among various tins, and therefore I can’t judge just from seeing the level drop in a tin.)  On days when I’m hitting the pipe pretty hard, it might be 1 gram or less.

S

I’m with Jernej…  0.5-2 daily.

F

Maybe 3g. Seems an awful lot more than that when I’m givin’ it some hammer whilst watching teevee and supping ale of an evening but the tins seem to empty sooo slowly. How’s that work?

5

It varies massively here. As a rolling average over the last month since quitting cigs, I’ve probably done maybe 4-5g a day, maybe as high as 10+ on some days when the cravings were intense (which really made my nose hurt). Today has been pretty light use, and for no particular reason. It’s now 6pm, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I’ve used less than 1g so far. For reference, I’ve also had one pipe bowl and about 1.5ml of 18mg vape juice. Not bad considering I was smoking 30+ per day. I expect to settle down to a rolling average of around 2-3g, but it could still easily vary from 0.5g to 5g+

S

I’d guess in the neighborhood of 3-5

T

Maybe 3 grams once a week, but 1 gram or less most days.

B

I wear more than I get to stick in my nose .Does that count? rolling on the floor laughing out loud =))

S

Considering how much is in a 10g tin, I probably don’t exceed a gram, but I take so many different snuffs throughout the day so it’s hard to tell.  I’m going with 1g.

5

I agree, it’s very difficult to estimate usage when you’re bouncing between many different varieties. I tend to think in terms of the 5g WoS tins when estimating, and how long one of those would last me. Another way is how long a Mr Snuff Roccoco snuffbox would last, which holds about the same ammount. I’ve still not figured out how much my normal pinch size equates to in weight

J

I think 7gr would be my high side. I think my true average is around 5gr. I tested this by packing a small Old Mill tin full of HDT. And only used this one day and killed definitely more than half that tin

F

I would say on a good day any where between 2/4 Grams within a day if I am crazy busy at work. Keeps me going. 8-}

W

Maybe a gram or so a day. I snus also so sometimes the snuff gets neglected just because snus is more convenient at times.

W

T

I use as average 0.5 - 1 gr but i vape also. I don’t use tobacco in other forms than snuff.

N

Anywhere from 0.5g to +5g.  It varies greatly depending on my mood and how many other tobacco products I use that day.

P

Not very much at all. I never was a cigarette smoker, so I don’t crave nicotine. I do smoke pipes and cigars so I do like my nicotine, just not one of those people who can’t live without it. Snuff gives me the nicotine I want and the bit of alertness it gives me.

O

A reasonably researched estimate would be 6g to 7g per day. None of this ever ends up all over my shirt front, the dashboard and floor of my car, my desk and keyboard at work, nor the kitchen table, floor etc.etc. etc. Lol !!!

J

@Omgroma, dashboard! I only have to clean my car interior regularly , not due to my little kids, but due to my White Elephant habit. Hehe

5

I haven’t gotten the hand of pinching at the wheel yet. It just doesn’t feel right to me, probably due to how I snuff. I have tried, but I tend to end up wearing it, or snuffing too hard, or just not enjoying it. It’s not so much that snuffing adversely affects my driving, but that driving adversely affects my snuffing

J

@50ft_trad , yeah I snuff when stopped. If I tried to do it while driving, would probably not end well. I can snuff SG coarse snuffs without looking and spilling but the fine Whites are another story. Might be more dangerous than texting and driving.

S

Haha you bring up a good point @50ft_trad.  I use my keychain snuff flask on the road, but if I’m trying to do it while actually driving, I usually wind up with a tablespoon of HDT in my boxcar, snuff all over my face, and no free hand to do anything about it.  

5

@jmahes @SeanOCDPx I took a pinch whilst out walking earlier today, and made a mess of that too X_X I certainly seem to fare better when static.

S

5 grams a day. I tested it once and a fully packed 10g tin lasted pretty much two days. Not much variation there either.

J

@50ft_trad, that’s why l I like my fave brown coat- can’t tell when snuff is all over it

A

I would say about 1g per day. Probably will increase when I quit smoking completely.

B

I snuff tobacco not Grams. It’s a disgusting hobby but then again, I am a disgusting person in some peoples eyes ,but I don’t judge. Just another Joe, here at Snuffhouse. They don’t know what their missing. 

N

I use approximately 1-3 grams a day, lesser on weekdays, more on weekends. 

A

I’d have to say around 5 grams now. I’ve almost finished a 25g tin of SG Elmos Reserve I received about a week ago, though that being said it is Elmos Reserve!

E

I need to show this to my wife - I recently finished a 10g Gletscher Prise and am almost through a 5g Ozona…the Prise I bought at least 6 weeks ago and the Ozona maybe 4 weeks ago.  I use a few others very occasionally (hmmmm, Alpina!), but the bulk of my snuffing is from those two.  

I thought I was hitting it fairly hard, but you are all putting me to shame.  I am a mere amateur compared!

P

best i could guess, maybe 25g a week

K

I’d say 10 - 15 but I have opened and finished off a 25g tin of Samuel Gawith : Banana in a day ! I hope I don’t get Addicted !

M

Haha, are you guys snuffing with a funnel or something ? What kind of freaky noses do you have ?

I don’t think I could snuff over a gram a day without drinking alcohol, which really sucks.

When I was a smoker I would smoke between 3-7 cigs a day, more would make me feel extremely intoxicated. 

With snuff I even tried to up my tolerance because I enjoy it that much, but too much just makes me feel nauseous very quick.

Not being able to snuff as much as I want is distressing, I want to take bigger pinches.

S

A 5g-tin lasts a week for me

I am new to snuff-taking but can see the amount increasing over the new months.

5

My consumption rate still varies wildly, but I calculate how long my stash will last based on 2g per day. If I stuck to just one snuff, I reckon a 10g tin would probably last me anywhere between three days and a whole week. If I use much more than 3 or 4 grams in a day, I can end up with a snuff hangover the following morning. They’re not fun. Feels like I’ve had a monster drinking session. Rather surprising considering this time last year I was smoking 30+ cigs per day.

N

@Effy - Yes, Effy show this to you wife. Did you? I am now snuffing around 1.5-2 grams a day. 5.5 months since I started

Y

I’m really a light weight. It takes me forever to finish a tin, and I never buy big tins ( except forjaxon’s queens special ). And this is with me sharing them with my friends.

A

Depends on how it sits if I have to wipe my nose a lot maby a g if it’s a good day at least 2-3

B

never used the snuff. :^o

J

somewhere around 3-5 gr depending on which snuff and if I’m not too distracted

J

funny i’ve actually lowered my usage throughout the year…i think I’m doing less overall in a day but snuffing more frequently  

N

I’m now at around 3-5 grams a day.

C

I’d say 1-2 grams a day with a couple bowls of strong pipe tobacco in the evening.

On the weekends, I start smoking my pipe with coffee in the morning and may not snuff all day.

B

lately a bit over ten a day.

B

then again I’ve been on a see what happens if I just use snuff for a while kick. No pipe no snus. 

A

my consumption is still very low, but I noticed an interesting contrast a while ago, as I was alternating between viking blonde and F&T old paris. blonde is super quaffable, easy to take, lowish nicotine, and short lived scent, whereas old paris is somewhat the opposite. I could probably use 5x more viking blond in a day, and could see myself getting 2g up the schnozz easily. Old paris, 2 grams lasted me over 6 days.

R

Maybe .2 - .5 grams a day. I wish I used more snuff and smoked less.

5

I still average about 2g per day, so with my stash I’m going to be OK for the next decade or so.

R

My friend says he averages nearly 1 kg a day. Hes exaggerating a little bit, but he took half of a 5g wos tin in one sniff so he cant be far off. Whenever I have a snuff I dont like, I give it to him, but I also let him sample my other snuffs. Hes being weird though, yesterday I let him sample a dip-size amount of bohica, and now he doesnt wanna try my other snuffs…? Hes a weird one.

H

The quantities people are claiming are truly astounding. WOW!!

Y

@Rogue, How can you even fit 2.5 g of snuff in a nose.

Z

I could somehow envision it being done, but the bigger question to me is WHY? So you jam 2.5 grams in, at most, a quarter gram will have a chance to get moisturized and thus nicotine absorbed in the nose. I would teach him how to properly insufflate, and save him at the very least 90% of his snuff outlay

R

@yisraeldov the same way he did a massive amount of bohica: crammed it up there.

P

im snuffing more and more these days. ive cut down on all my other tobaccos. looking at my stash that at one point i thought was huge. now i look at it and wished i did more panic buying!   :((

M

7-8 grams a day here…
:wink:

S

@marc1000 wow! that is a lot how do you manage backdrip if i take huge amounts of any snuff its going to run down after a while and depending on snuff taste bitter
how big is a pinch/dose for you ?

i must say the thunder abri cool i finished last week (10g in about 7 days most  i ever snuffed) kind of put my tolerance bar a lot higher and now i find me taking bigger bumps of any snuff

M

@SunnyDay i take 2 good size bumps but not huge. i alternate with each pinch from one side to the other back and forth inhaling very slightly until gone. every once in awhile i get backdrip if i take too much too fast on any given nostril.I have it pretty balanced now to not get a lot of backdrip though.Its about 7-8 on a full day from sun up to sun down though.
8-|

C

3g to 5g, depending on how busy I am, or how drunk I am or if it’s one of those nights where i  would kill for a cigarette.

S

@captainblackboogers
@marc1000

try the thunder nasal snuff guys maybe you like them i love them for their nicotine and how they can be consumed careless and mess free (unlike dusty whites or coarse south africans that would deliver the same)
for me its so much more fun when i can sniff careless and deep

C

 Thanks @SunnyDay.  Will try with next order.

M

@SunnyDay are all the thunders menthol. i do not like menthol snuffs.
:^o

V

@Marc1000, there’s less menthol in Thunder Frosted than in Toque Silver Dollar Original or Neffa Green, if any. It’s almost non present.

Curious about the rest, though. @SunnyDay, do Thunders differ in menthol amount, or are they all the same - almost menthol-free?

S

@volunge they are not strongly mentholated in comparision even the extra mento
thats why i like the abri most its a bit more exciting but the others arent bad either for just a nice quick nicotine hit.

@marc1000 if you can deal with a hint of menthol the thunders are worth a try

for comparison on a scale of 5 i would give hedges 5,gletscherprise 3 and thunder extra mento 1

J

2 or less

C

 enough.

 I want to say 4g a day,  though last night i went through 21/2 in one sitting (over several hours) but i was also drinking whiskey. Maybe more than that. I don’t know so i’ll just say, enough…enough grams.

5

Just coming back to snuff after a brief absence. My nose decided it hated all kinds of snuff a couple of months back, and had to lay off for a while. Whatever the issue was has now passed, but Im still doing more vape than snuff (didn’t want to dive in too heavy and upset my nose again). I think it’s a seasonal thing with me, as I’ve had to lay off the snuff like this before. Long story short, i’m probably doing less than 1g at the moment, but it is creeping back up. I’ll probably be nearer 2g in a few weeks. My 7 or 8 kilo stash seems pretty damn enormous at the moment.

B

2-5 usually around the 3-4 mark

N

In the same boat as @50ft_trad . Spring time nose issues are a time to rest the snout for me also. Similar to drinking Light beer now instead of a Stout.

N

Maybe 1/10 gr.

N

In April 2017, I was at 1-3 grams per day. In December I was at 3-5 grams a day. 

Now - 5 grams at least. More when I get time to sit with myself reading, or watching a movie. 

T

Somewhere between too damn few and too damn many. Depends on the day now, frankly. If I’m smoking my pipe, I snuff less, if I’m snusing, I snuff less still, if snuff is the only tobacco I’m taking, it seems like I can’t get enough- a hefty pinch every 15 or so minutes. Probably averages out to around 3-4g per day, assuming I’m using my beloved heavy, but high nicotine Indian snuffs.
