stumbling across the 3 kg/month snuff consumation in another thread i started wondering: how much do you consume in a month? i find myself consuming larger quantities when it comes to schmalzler and smaller quantities when it is a fine ground english snuff, with poeschl style snuffs being on middle ground in between. so probably the type of snuff has an effect. so, how much do you consume in a month? ^^
Do your really believe it’s possible for one person to consume 3 kg. of tobacco dust per month - through their nose? Let’s do the math. 3000 grams divided by 30 days = 100g/day. Allowing 8 hrs for sleep, 16 for snuffing we get 6.25 g per hour or .1g per minute - every waking minute. Sorry, no time to blow your nose. .1g is an extremely large pinch - for anyone. One would scarcely have time to do anything else. It’s simply absurd. But to answer your question, my monthly consumption is probably in the 10 to 15g range.
yes, it is. we had that in the thread. it probably comes from spilling a lot and sharing pinches. but i am still intersted in how much you consume ^^
Well a lot depends on what snuff I’m spending most time with each week and what time of year it is. But on avg. its around 3 grams a day, sometimes more than 5 a day and occasionally only around 2. So for a 30 day month, it could be anywhere from 90-150 grams a month. betonente, you never mentioned your monthly consumption??
oh… thats right. i guess manners demand that i first lay my cards open. i think i consume about 0.5 to 1 gram a day. might go up to 2 grams if it is an all schmalzler day. but then there are days i do not snuff at all. i guess i am at around 25 grams a months.
It is usually 1g/day,2-3g if i got hangover,just like 2 days ago 
5-10g/week
Depends any where from half a gram a day to half a gram an hour. Sometimes I can’t stop snuffing sometimes a pinch last me a long time. Plus I snus too which makes a big diffrence that I go through a can a week roughly at 50 grams a tin.
I take fairly small pinches, so a box of Gletscher Prise will literally last weeks - dry snuffs even longer.
small pinches are the way to go in my opinion.
Wow some big hitters here! My hat is off to you! I’m such a lightweight. If I do 2 grams in a day it’s a binge for me. In fact, I don’t think I’ve actually finished a whole tin of anything. However, snuff is not the only form of tobacco I use. 
@slartie: i noticed that after 2 weeks of using one gletscherpriese box,the quality degrades or should i say it gets really dry.
True enough. After opening the box it really needs to be used within 2 weeks.
A small tin of the fine & dry stuff like McChrystal’s Apricot (3g) will last me a week. If I step it up to something with a fair amount of moisture to it (anything Poschl makes), then it’s more like 5 grams per week. At this rate, based on a guess, I proabably have enough snuff in my collection to last me 4 years. Which begs the question; Why in the Hell do I keep buying more?!?
@satyr: snuff should be about enjoyment, not about forcing tons of it in and out of your nose. so if you get enjoyment out of buying and sampling new snuffs, thats a good thing. there are far more expensive, dangerous, immoral and time-wasting things some people do. not meaning they are right (they are, in fact, not) but only to say: this little habit (collecting, consuming) is well within the realms of what should be an acceptable thing to do in reasonable moral standards. what i REALLY mean: pray feel free to proceed adding to that lovely collection of yours.
I’m around 20 grams a month, Sometimes more sometimes less
