If you were to guess how much snuff you have consumed throughout your snuffing career, what would it be, grams, ounces, pounds, kilos? I’ve been snuffing for about 2 years, I think I’ve put down maybe 2 or 3 ounces. I’ve been a light snuffer though, due to other tobacco fancies. Recently with better technique, I’ve been able to take more and more. How about you?
Over the past 2 years, I think I’ve killed about 25 or 30 Kilos… Okay, okay, maybe 500g or so.
I’m not even going to try and guess how much I’ve used!
You really might have used 25 or 30 Kilos, LOL! How long have you been snuffing, Tony?
Properly, on and off since 1976. Living in Regensburg at that time it would have been rude not to have tried some Bernard (and Pöschl) snuffs. I still have some small stoneware snuff bottles I bought then. My very first attempt at snuff was a small tin of J&H Wilson’s (Top Mill No 1 I think) in about 1969/70. I didn’t enjoy it then (too young probably) but I certainly did when I rediscovered it in 1976.
A gorgeous city. I can imagine that Pöschl and Bernard’s are very popular there, smack in the middle of Bayern. I’m quite jealous.
I would estimate I’ve put about 1/2 a pound up my nose since October when I really got into snuffing. I probably only used 3-4 grams before then.
I think I’ve snuffed something between 100 and 200g in the 6 months since i joined snuffhouse. I haven’t quit smoking yet , and i started snusing as well , otherwise i would’ve been talking about kilos about now :).
One of the things about snuff that amazes me is how very long a comparatively small amount can last. Think about it - for a heavy user, maybe an ounce or so every couple weeks, making allowance for spills and waste. Amazing! I think the biggest part of the retail cost of snuff has to be the packaging and labor involved in dividing it all up. When I consider how very cheap it is to make a few pounds of snuff, I realize that the cost involved in splitting it up into little tins and everything that goes with it must be fairly steep, cheap though snuff is. Seems to me one ought to look for a main snuff, a go-to one, and buy a pound of it, decanting it into the daily snuff box as needed, as was done in the day. Could save a ton of money that way.
If I look at all the empty tins I’ve got, it must me quite a lot of Angel Dust that went up my nose since I discovered this forum. I will make some calculations tomorrow, to cold now!! What I do no is, with all the snuff I’ve accumulated over the past year, I will have to put lots more up my nostrils in future. What a pleasure to look forward to!!
not enough I still want more.

I am scared to try and figure it out. Much rather think about my next snuff buy. Imagine if you added all the tobacco in ALL forms!
Bob,…“Not enough, I still want more.” Love it!
I’d guess somewhere around 100 grams in 4-5 months. Yeah, I’m a lightweight. I’ve got 200 grams or so left, I may have to order more soon.
Well a short estimate would be avg. 4-5 grams per day, so on the light side would be 1 oz per week so on that note would be 3.25 pounds per year. I don’t want to know my total amount! LOL.
Some very impressive numbers here! Please continue.
realized to the british this could mean something diffrent like how much have they spent on snuff.
Sprangalang - 3 ounces in two years? Thats not light snuffing, its not snuffing! Poke it up there man! I would put my lifetime total to date at about 40 pounds. Ive snuffed a long while but for the longest time I was smoking and snuff was a side order. Ive been stopped just over a year and done about 3 pounds in that time, mostly Toque and WoS, mostly best SP and original.
I’ve gotten seven ounce of wilsons snuffs alone in the last year. Minus a few pinches. I’ve done at least as much toque so jeez sprangalang I think you must be wrong about the amounts:)
