Hi pals! Ever since I saw Gentleman’s Guide To Snuff Taking, I’ve been trying to figure out how to do it properly. Thy guy in the video says “inhale deeply”. So, I took a can of Toque Quit and started experimenting. I was watching the video over and over. Snuffing, blowing, snuffing, blowing… It seems I’ve finally figured it out. The trick is that the guy perfectly covers his nostrils so that he can really do the deep inhale. It takes a bit of practice, but it’s not that hard. Try to watch him closely and do the exact same thing. Just for the sake of the experiment.
Doing it properly is whatever way works best for you. You may have a different type of snuff than he. Different snuffs call for different techniques I’ve found. I’d say his was of doing it is more traditional, but one could also argue that back of the hand and spoons were traditional as well. I have wide nostrils, but small nasal passages and one side is always clogged up a bit. What works for me, probably won’t be too enjoyable for you. Just go with it man, no need to impress.
Yeah, you’re correct. Everybody’s different. I wrote the post mostly to encourage beginners like me. It’s nice to see somebody that old using a fine-tuned technique.
I don’t enjoy snuff in my lungs;So technique is important . Never snort tobacco snuff
Personally I would take it easy on the sniff.
