This is not a question of how often should you snuff.  That’s a matter of personal preference, and everyone’s different.

I’m just curious how often other people indulge in their snuff.

Personally, I mostly use snus while at work, because I can do so without being noticed.  I take some snuff 3 or 4 times while at work…just for the sense of relaxation it gives me.  At home, where I’m free to use more freely…I probably take a little snuff every half-hour or so.  If I’m busy, then perhaps a little less often.  If I find myself wanting to do it more often, I sort of reduce the amount I’m taking each time, just to sort of maintain a nice nicotine level.

Anyway, what are your habits?  How often do you take a bit of snuff?

When I broke my chain-snusing habit with snuff it was multiple times an hour using huge cocaine type lines of Garrets Sweet Scotch, the rough way with lots of pain being in-experienced. Once I got more experienced in the habit I take a bump every 2 hours. However some days I snuff heavily…especially when that Mr.Snuff order is right around the corner. Probably ever 45 mins. I stay away from the high nic snuffs. I picked up the snuff habit to quit snusing, and I picked up snusing to quit smoking. For some odd reason snus was eating up my gums…I don’t know if anyone else has ran into this problem. I was using General white.

I’m also trying to reduce my use of snus.  I don’t want to quit nicotine.  But, I’ve really found myself enjoying snuff…while the snus is more of a habit.  I don’t really enjoy it in the same way I’ve been enjoying the snuff.  I’ve had trouble in the past with snus irritating my gums…but for whatever reason it doesn’t happen anymore.

For me, its more about cost and enjoyment.

Never touched the stuff :^o

LOL.

Here some other thread on the subject. http://snuffhouse.com/discussion/10164/how-frequently-do-you-snuff/p1. The same questions comes around and goes around if the search feature worked you could had added to this post. But it’s ok to start new ones. The new members are the lifeblood of snuff house. Ask Away. 

I take snuff about every 10-15 minutes while at work. At home a little less with the odd pipe as well.

Only when awake!!! :))

Every 10-15 minutes with pipes morning and evening.

For me, after work and evening meal. Then I’m straight out of the blocks until a half hour before bed. When I’m drinking though beer and snuff go hand in hand.

At random - probably around 10-15 snuffs per day.  I snuffed twice yesterday at work, which I don’t usually get around to at all - this is unfortunate, because my McChrystal’s Clove is perfect to have in the nose working at a nursing home and I wish I could be taking it constantly.  

A tiny pinch of snuff every 10-15 mins. Daily 4-5g

About 6 times per day. 

As someone with a long relationship with tobacco, and a fairly new relationship with snuff…it was good to read others’ frequency.  I only actually personally know one other person that uses snuff, and they live 7 hours away.  So, I don’t know what “normal” is exactly.  This was helpful.  Thank you!

@markstinson That’s what this community is all about! With frequency, I doubt a “normal” really exists. If I’m snusing, I use snuff every hour or so. If not, more like every 20 or 30 minutes.

Thanks, Hitsuzen.  I’m in the same boat.  With snus in, I snuff every 30 minutes to an hour.  If I’m relaxing, and want to snuff more…I leave the snus out and snuff a bit more.  It is sort of funny how much thought I will put into maintaining my nicotine levels at a comfortable level.

whenever the urge hits me,  I also snus all day

And roughly how much snuff do you take, daily or per dose, in weight  or or desribed, perhaps resembling the rubber ends on a pencil. i take that much in total. perhaps six times a day.

thanks!

@perique Agree.

My snuff desire seems to be highly variable. It was the same when I smoked, but if the desire overwhelmed I could be chain smoking and feel bad the next day, shorter of breath etc.
However, I can take snuff to my heart content and it’s still not taxing for me. I guess the days of heavy study when I partaked on our hobby the most I took snuff every 15 minutes or so- However,  if doing physical work or at the gym I can abstain for one or two hours or take as little as three bumps of Viking Dark during the whole day.
No ill effects in the first scenario and no bad feelings or distracting cravings in the second. With cigarettes, everything was revolving around the habit. Aside from feeling a littlle bit sleepy if I don’t take snuff during the morning and the occasional clogged nose, no bad feelings arose from the absence or excess of snuff in my system.

@MarvinLapsus That’s a good point, about gym time. I know it’s weird, with tobacco being such a huge hobby of mine, but I’m a fitness and nutrition hobbyist too (I do strength training and jog), and after a decent workout I could go easily a couple hours with nothing at all. Eating better seems to delay nicotine desires too, which is cool because it brings it back to the enjoyment of the tobacco.

It’s never far away from me at any one moment, and I snuff pretty much constantly, throughout the day. As a matter of fact, I make it my while to take 4-6 different containers with me during my daily work-commute, such that I always have something to enjoy, depending on my mood at the spur of the moment. There are always 2-3 containers in the console of the car, such is my level of consumption.

four or five pipes and one or two cigars a day cut down on my snuff intake but probably take 5 or 6 eraser-sized pinches a day, if in the shop and immersed in work more often but lesser quantity of a toast or white snuff if the store is open, more darker snuffs if the shop is closed and a brown nose is not an issue .

I started snuffing while quitting smoking ciggerettes. I smoke Marlboro reds, I normally use fine dry snuff at work roughly every 20 minutes. I work doing physical therapy so I can’t have a runny nose.

About every 20 minutes here too.

I forgot to say: Every minute or so, when reading Snuffhouse

I would guess about 20 X a day. I am a very light snuffer, just dusting the shnoz holes instead of a pinch.

Not as much as I used to but more than most

Alot less since I started snus… Probably 5 times a day, and then a binge on my day off from work.

I really don’t know how often I take a pinch or spoon of snuff.  I know from my Mr. Snuff invoices and the levels in my jars that it’s likely 3-5 grams a day.  How much ends up in my mustache and/or on my shirt is still being researched.

LOL.  ^^^Its funny cause its true^^^

I try to be neat and tidy about it.  But, there are times the mustache gets in the way and gets a thorough dusting.  At work, I have the check the mirror, because I can’t walk round with brown dust hanging in light-colored (okay, okay…its gray) mustache.

Pretty much as often as I can think of. Meaning, a lot of times I will get busy and not use any for hours. Or if im out walking I may have a pinch every 15 minutes. For some reason standing outside in the fresh mountain air, I get the most amazing flavors from the De Kralingse, which is my all day every day tobacco. Ill almost always have one or two pinches first thing in the morning with my tea. Then at work if its dusty out, I use a little more than usual, or if the day gets stressful… Pretty much use the stuff just like when I was a cigarette smoker. Heavily if necessary.

Constantly, unless I’m asleep, than not so much.
