I was wondering how much snuff or how many snuffs does most use in a day?

Anything between 2g and 5g depending which snuff I’m on and what I’m doing.

Haven’t measured but I’d guess 6-12 pinches a day depending on mood, etc. If I get a new package in the mail then all bets are off!

Probably 75-100 small pinches a day. But along with Snuffbox, when the new package comes I can’t keep my nose out of it.

It seems that every few weeks without fail someone posts a thread with a similar title! LOL I should make one of them a sticky thread. My snuff intake depends on what I’m doing that day. If i’m at home (i.e at the weekend) I can sniff 18-25 pinches a day. If i’m at work it will be more like 8-10 pinches per day…not sure how much that is in grams I’m afraid.

I was wondering about this becasue I find my self reaching for the snuff every 45 minutes or so and being so new to snuff I don’t know if this is considered alot. Also I don’t know a person that uses snuff and feel funny using snuff in public.

Whats a sticky thread?

At least you know a load more snuff takers now (here of course). Compared with my snuff usage a pinch every 45 minutes would be quite light I think. I guess I just don’t do things by halves… Nobody around here (Hull, England) bats an eyelid when I get my snuff box out. How it would be viewed where you are would depend on where you are. Personally I wouldn’t worry about it. A sticky thread is one that stays at the top of the list rather than dropping down with time.

Thanks ermtony, I live in Michigan, metro Detroit area. I have never seen a soul take Snuff.

I’m with Tony. 3-5 grams a day. (usually closer to 5!) Tom NicotineRush.com

I use about 2 -3 grams per day + about 6 dips of skoal cherry or cope.

Jimmyc I actually have to turn down offers to pinch from other people’s tins several times a day! Life is grand…

Snuffbox are you in the U.S.? Why do you turn them down, to many people offering? You must not be in the U.S. Just took Dholakia Swiss Chocolate for the first time. Its incredibale how good it is, just want to keep snuffing. Smells so good I almost want to eat it. There seems to be an unending variety of snuff. Don’t know what to try next.

I have to keep turning them down because everyone is so generous with their snuff, I guess it’s like the old days of snuffing where it was bad manners not to offer snuff when you take a pinch. If I have a few in the morning I’m all set for hours so when I go out and people start offering I’ve already had enough. Good problems to have, I suppose! Half the fun of snuffing is finding new ones you like. The old timers have it easier if they’ve settled on favorites. I’m heading that way now, I have too many varieties and can’t go through them fast enough.

You need to be in our Local on a Wednesday evening when ermtony and myself fill the table with tins and snuff boxes anyone is welcome for a pinch or three.

I don’t think any of us can believe how well Hull City are doing this year! The old F&T tins are okay but all have a underlying flavour which suggests some sort of flavour contamination at some point in the past. Still very sniffable though. Now I’d better ponder on which snuffs to take to the pub tonight. Partly depends on whether the postie brings my Snuff Store order today.

Snuff Head you should post some pics of your gatherings, sounds really nice!

Farley, you would be welcomed, just whisper ermtony or myself if your going to be this way, and we well give you directions. Snuffbox I have a few photo’s I took but I won’t post them yet I’ll wait for the OK from Tony.

No problem as far as I’m concerned - post away!

Opps…sorry to change the subject [back to the title of the thread] lol. I only use about a gram a day. HOWEVER…I just bought and received a dozen samples of snuff from Tom. When I opened the package one smashbox had opened in shipping and was spilled everywhere. Thats not a problem as I was able to gather most of it up and put it back in the small tin. My problem is that after getting most of it back in the tin, I foolishly decided to clean the edge of the tin simply by sniffing off the excess snuff. WRONG!!! The lid was still open and I consumed more snuff than I ever have in my lifetime. lmao what a fool. I should have known better. Anyway, that was my first taste of Honey Bee. And it was dam good too. Luckily it wasn’t the rooster or I would be on my way to the hospital from a heart attack. Oh stupid me… stop laughin at me dammit

PP, Good morning. Sorry to hear one of the smash boxes opened in shipping. Please remind me on your next order and I will replace. Tom NicotineRush.com ps. Yes, Honey Bee is an excellent ‘sweet’

@bigblue1 “Lek me inkroduce ju to my leetl freng” LOL

Thanks Tom, but I probably won’t remember to remind you. I did recover some tho. Yes the Honey Bee is excellent. Lucky for me. I was high till I fell asleep last night. lol. It was great.

Does Honey Bee have that same type of sweetness, almost exact same flavor, that all the other sweet Americans seem to have? They definitely taste different overall but I swear they all use the same sweetener, or is that just me? I’ve had Peach, Buttercup and just now W.E. and Top, they all share the same type sweetness just to different levels and then of course the different tobacco flavors. Wonder what they use, sweet so strong I can literally taste it with my nose (nice though). Damn, just looked and I’m way OT, about 5 grams a day.

sweet clover

It all depends on what I am doing and the weather. I have a kinked Conk and some days are easier to breath well through the sinus than others. So, on a good day 25 pinches or so, a bad bay less than half of that. I have also found that many snuffes are to much for the nose and have of late settled down to just two. J Wilsons Top Mill and F T Morocco. Those two really suit the snozzle and after trying lots of everything I favour a natural scent to a heavily cased.

6-12 pinches will just about do me just right.

3 to 5 grams a day, most days

Please, admin, make a poll.

I see most snuffers are on 5 grams a day. So am I, maybe 6 grams a day because I also sniff when waking up at night.

are you conscious then?

I snuff a sufficiency to the day thereof, or sometimes slightly more. I try not to snuff before 11 o’clock in the morning, as it makes the first pinch of the day more of a treat (usually SG Black Coffee or Kendal Brown, or either Toque Absinthe or an Indian snuff if I need a good wake up call). After that it’s a couple of pinches an hour until I get home, then I gently subside into a snuff haze pinching when required. By bedtime I’m generally of the opinion that it’s a wonderful world and I love everybody. :))

I wonder if those who snuff >5g a day snuff from fingers. Much of snuff is wasted then, so it is not >5g up to nose, it’s more like 2-3grams

@Viertel I do snuff with fingers but the numbers are based on weighing tins, I snuff over the tin so any that’s dropped goes in there; I had said I get 95% of it up but I think sometimes I’m actually messier doing a test, depends on the dryness of the snuff still the numbers should be good; coarse snuffs I generally do off the hand though and often with fine snuffs as well. I go through probably on average ~10g a day, but if I’m using exclusively white snuff I go through as little as 25g a week.

I’d say between 1-6 grams a day depending on my mood and how much snus I take and pipes I smoke. I like to pinch and I’d also say about 95% of it goes in my nose, if 50% of your pinch is left on your fingers you must be taking really tiny pinches.

Taken from a newspaper article in 1918.

The average “snuffer,” it may be said, will consume three-quarters of an ounce to one ounce a week, although men have been known to get through half an ounce every day. But as one man said to-day, “It all depends upon how many pals you have.”

My use fluctuates so much that it’s hard to even guess. Some days it’s just a few pinches here and there (I smoke roll-ups too). Other days it’s more, and more often. High usage comes in the nights if I’m drinking and just sitting in front of the computer. Then I hit the stronger snuffs like rustica, quit etc. I’ll routinely take 4-5 pinches up each nostril, allow to brew to a soup then blow and repeat. I might do this 3 or 4 times in an hour, for a few hours. So I suppose, 10-100 pinches a day lol.
