When your relaxed watching TV or having a beer on average how often do you take a pinch of snuff roughly
i.e every hour, 30 minutes, 15 minutes or even more often and does the snuff being used make a large difference

At times I will chain and then hours may go by without a pinch.

First thing in the morning every 5 - 10 minutes for a bit. After that every 30 - 45 minutes. If I am bored I will pinch more often.

I stop pinching every 14 minutes.

it is odd but my pinching varies. Sometimes it’s a bunch of pinchs some times a pinch will hold me over and hours later I’ll realize I’ve had no nicotine. Strange.

Varies. If I’m just sitting doing nothing, I will pinch anywhere from 2-5 times an hour. Or sometimes, like bob, I will go a few hours and just forget to pinch.

For me it really depends on what I’m doing and what snuff I’m using.  If it’s a really nice snuff that I feel doesn’t last long enough I’ll keep pinching until I feel satisfied, otherwise it’d be about every 30 minutes to an hour.

Usually every 15 to 30 minutes or so. If i’m distracted or doing something that requires concentration, every 30 minutes to 1 hour.

For me about every 30 minutes to every hour and a half. I do have a  ‘snuff meal’ during the evening where me and my husband gather up all our snuffs and take pinch after pinch of different snuffs trying to see what flavors do well together…that goes on for about 10 minutes…and it’s my favorite part of the day,

I find the time between pinches varies as well…it’s a little strange. When I smoked I had a schedule, when I used snus I had a schedule…but with snuff it’s as many of you have said sometimes every 20-45 minutes or 3 hours later. I’ve worked out though I use about .75 to 1 gram a day.

If I am drinking coffee or beer I snuff every 15-30 minutes. Any other time it is usually once every 3-4 hours. My complimentary drinks are like bread and butter.

Depends on the day and what I’m doing. When reading or studying, it’s between a pinch every 15-30 minutes. In class it’s about and hour apart; when I’m just hanging out, about every 30 minutes.

30 minutes to an hour for me

As frequently as possible

Sounds like i am Ok then if i am out i may pinch every hour but i noticed one night while on Jockey Club i thought i was pinching too often every 10 minutes but i seem to be normal and its not unknown to pinch more often when relaxed in front of TV. Got 3 on the go and in the evening i do switch between them as i watch TV and relax with a cold can af ale.

I usually don’t use a medium grind, dry, menthol snuff when I go on a bender.  I’ll bet the inside of my nose looks like the south end of a northbound baboon tonight.

Hope it don’t smell like one.

about every fifteen mintures to a half hour most days.

At work maybe once an hour. At home maybe twice an hour or more. I use the Toque bullets refilled which I think hold 1g each? Go through 2 a day normally. Not sure if that’s a lot or normal?

@Clootie , compared to some of the of our friends here your usage is lightweight :). Mine is still pretty ultra-light , small pinches but pretty often. I mostly take snuff while working and double so while working at night. If I’m too sleepy and need to get stuff done I’ll pinch like crazy. Otherwise once or twice an hour.

Probably every 30 minutes. Closer together If I am bored.

Jack. Thanks that’s reassuring. Have been trying to limit my usage but may let myself go a bit now lol

About every 10-15 when reading or studying. Every hour at school (people give me odd looks if i bust out a tin for a pinch). Occasionally I’ll wait two hours for the next pinch, just so I can ‘appreciate’ it more.

I find even relaxing it does depend on the snuff a dry one like toast i seem to use much more often a medicated one less often
 

I have been snuffing for 4 months or so now, I was unsure about frequency of pinches, but at work every 40 mins or so, and at home normally in front of TV every 15 mins, if the Rugby is on every 5mins if England are winning. How often is too often and how much is too much, is it Ok to cocktail and mix as you go or should I stay fixed on one pot? so many questions? 

With snuff there is no such thing as too much or too often.

5 Grams a minute.

Oh no…wait…that’s this guy :

Holy crap.  Is that the contest they have every year with schmalzers or something?

It’s this. I’m not sure exactly what the site is about though. It’s translated from German here’s the original :http://schmalzlerfreunde.de/

I’m not sure if it’s anything to do with the snuff snorting championships in Bavaria or if it’s their own competition. lol I put 15 g before. It’s probably around 5 g a minute unless anyone can guess how much he’s taking?

Holy crap! That guy has his technique NAILED! I usually have a 2-8 pinches (if you count both nostrils) an hour but often go on a few hour stretches without it. My usual rule of thumb is I don’t pinch another til the flavor or nicotine wears off but sometimes with a snuff like bureau or chocolate that I can’t get enough of the flavor I’ll take a pinch every 2-5 minutes. I totally underestimated my snuff use when I said a g a day. It’s probably closer to 2 or 3

By the end he didn’t really look like he was enjoying himself anymore.  I hope snuff always stays something I enjoy, not something I feel like I just survived.

I would barf when the drip from all that Schmalzer hit.

He seemed to get a little in on his lip.

lol. a little nose in yer snuff?

He’s got that look on his face that I normally get when I’ve snuffed too much too quickly.

(post deleted by author)

LOL! Looked like he was sniffing off the fingernail, and interesting option. I don’t think I’d try that, but there are days when I feel like hitting it that hard.

I think usually I pinch about every hour. I hit it first thing when I get to work in the morning, and then keep a nice bit going all day. I trade off though, between my ecig and actual cigarettes during the day. Most days the ecig is my primary nicotine source with snuff thrown in for the pure joy of it.

Anecdotally, I was on jury duty last week and of course there’s no smoking in the courthouse, and I was paranoid about taking my ecig through the cop line. So I relied on snuff to get me though the days. There were no smoke breaks! I was amazed, snuff totally carried me through. That was the first time I’ve relied solely on snuff for my nic intake, and it was completely satisfactory. Cool!

I’ve got two mods of comsuption,One snuff by 3 hours or one pinch serial by quarter of hour  alternates by one pinch for half an hour.

I do only with the second mean for the moment

About the same frequency as I used to smoke a cancer stick.The most wonderful thing is I can go without snuff with no craving unlike those cancer sticks.But why would I want to go threw the time I have left, without stuffing my snout with deliciousness of snuff.

At the moment I am getting through one to two fills of this everyday. I seem to have turned into a snuff creature since I discovered WoS sherry.

@Snuffster You just wanted to show off that snuffbox… =P

True;)

I just tried out the fingernail method that the guy in the video was using on some RnR.  It just powered a ton of it in my nose, but surprisingly that huge amount didn’t burn, or even get into my throat.  It still amazes me that big - huge pinches are so much easier to take than little ones.

It varies a lot, sometimes I will chain-snuff, but I’ll also go hours without any and not even notice it. Snuff seems like a much less compulsive habit than smoking. In fact I’d say all smokeless tobacco is like that. When I was a smoker I felt like I “needed” one every hour, if not more, but with snuff I don’t crave like I used to.

5,4,3,2,1 Now! I pinch every time I have a free hand or a reflecting moment. It could be as quick as every 5 min (or less) or as long as maybe an hour. Damn, now I’m going to have to check but it will be enjoyable

at work i pinch every 50 minutes at home it changes how long the scent lasts. Pinch varies between 1 to 6.

Well at the moment im pinching around every 4 to 5 minutes

I find that taking a few pinches when the urge hits works just fine for me.

It depends, i do not have a fixed rule, from 20 minutes to 1 / 2 hours…also because I am a smoker too.

Oh, about every 30 minutes when I’m awake. A little less than that when I’m asleep. :))

as often as possible…

90% of the time I use snuff unless I have a spoon

Every 20 mins with regular pinches approx. unless I start a pinching spree, then it´s about every 5 mins but with smaller pinches.

Situation dictates, anywhere from a pinch every 20-30min to every 5min if I’m just hanging around drinking a cold brew

Only during waking hours, single pinches,double pinches, when ever I want, sometimes I get busy and go many minutes between. I have yet invented the SNUFF HELMET. Similar to the beer helmet

It varies wildly for me, but recently due to the rise of my oral fixation, I’m pinching less. May be once an hour. Depends how much makla or snus I’m using.

I have found that a pinch after some intimate relations is pretty damn good. Also, I should stop pinching before I drink tea, the steam just doesn’t gel right with my nose.

Is that with someone who has an oral fixation? :))

Whenever my nose tells me to

@n9inchnails that’s actualy your nose goblin. Noses do not verbalize.

at the moment i am ill and i pinch/tap mentholated snuffs every 5-10 minutes to keep my nose open

When ever the air smell is what I am getting. STUPID AIR

@linguist glad you are hanging in there

@linguist glad you are hanging in there

Thank you. Today i feel a little bit good after taking lots of medicine

Every five minutes if I am stationary and every thirty minutes if I am mobile. If I am sleeping and wake up I have a select handful I will grab a pinch from which puts me back to sleep.

I’m trying to make it every hour, one great big pinch because it’s more enjoyable with a bit of a wait. The way my habit was going I was slowly disappearing under a brown cloud. Apparently, Charles Darwin got to the point where he kept his snuff at his neighbours to try and ease back on his runaway useage. That said, I’ve taken two pinches writing this

I always find it funny that it was his snuff habit he found bothersome his opium habit he was cool with. Darwin that is.

Yep, they didn’t recognise it as a real problem unless you let it destroy you, but everyday opium eating seemed to be just what some gentlemen did, and why not I have to say. I don’t know if it’s still there but his diaries and more interestingly his son’s were all online. His son has lots of little snuff anecdotes and some stuff about his health. It seems likely he was riddled with various parasites from his time in South America, although I don’t think medical science at the time recognised it. Hence lots of opium. In that respect not much has changed if you have a lot of pain.

Time limit is very challenging but more enjoyable. At work i can only pinch 50 minute periods but hard to wait the breaks.

At times I will chain and then hours may go by without a pinch.

^this Sometimes I’ll go a day or so without any. USUALLY I’ll do one first thing in the morning, and then once an hour or so… sometimes more- but for the most part I keep some sort of snuff in my nose all day.

I’ll take a few pinches… almost every day.

I pinched as often as possible when in Rome. I tried it in London and was sternly warned by the police. When not in Rome I suggest pinching and moving away quickly, preferably while wearing a reversible jacket with a cap in the pocket.
