I tend to take all the snuff I have one by one in a simple daily rotation but random rotation too, the most important is that I use all the different kinds I have at the end of the day… so I can pinch Toque Quit then 6 Photo Natural then Toque Chocolate and so on… is there a right rotation cycle ? a rotation that makes you smell the snuff better or is easier on the nose or a kind of snuff does not mask the previous snuff or makes you wanna blow your nose fast so you loose the effect of all the pinches you took previously ? Thanks guys for your help!

There are no rights or wrongs in snuff use, you do what feels right to you - no one can tell you what snuff to use, when to use it, how it will effect you, whether you will like one particular make or type - this could go on ad infinitum. We are all different, have different tastes, reactions and appetites. The only person who can answer questions like this is you. We can’t I’m afraid.

^ five bru and best wishes.

@Snuffster Thanks a lot … I am just making sure that I am not missing anything

What ever box come out of my bag is what I am doing.
Now at home it’s a different story. If I am posting what in your nose I will read what others are using and if I had not used it lately and it sounds right for the moment I will revisit it. 

There are wake up snuffs,any time snuff,before a pipe snuff,with coffee snuff.with tea snuff after dinner snuff not to be confused with dessert snuff and before bed snuff.Stupid air. Some time it is hard to choose but I do have a few favorites.

My rotation for filling boxes goes from left to right, top to bottom out of a box of 24 -4 ounce cobalt blue packer jars of different manufacturers ,scents,plain and medicated when I am at the end of that box I move on to the next box and then the next. This is why I revisit snuff at home who knows when I will get back to that first box or the 2nd and so on. Because I am sick with this snuff addiction and keep buying more. It makes me happy!!!

@kougy  I never considered an order in my rotation but knowing how some menthols and schmalzlers cause me to be congested, I tend to take them after I’ve had all the stuff that doesn’t congest me. If I have a schmalzler or a menthol, I am not really going to enjoy something light and dryer  until I’m done with the congestion and have a good blow of my nose. But some people may like to have something that congests them so they can take a dry snuff easier? As @Snuffster  said, it’s all down to what works for you, but there is no rule book that makes any of your personal choices wrong. Sometimes there are 2 snuffs in my rotation, sometimes 4 and sometimes 6 or more…sometimes there is no rotation. Happy Snuffing!

Currently I snuff one or two snuffs a day. I put a few grams in my snuff box and snuff it until it is gone. The I either get more of the same or grab a different one.

@basement_shaman Well keep buying snuff as long as it makes you happy man, life is too short, enjoy snuffing

@thorgrimnr I have the same problem with Menthol kinda snuffs but I don’t know about Schmalzler as I never tried any yet, happy snuffing to you too

@Slide I tried to do the same and use one or two snuffs a day but I always end up trying everything I have at the end of the day, enjoy snuffing

Whatever works for you is the best way .

@perique Thanks, enjoy snuffing

There certainly IS a right and a wrong snuff rotation style for me.

Whatever floats your boat!

^5’s all 'round, me brus!

I love you all!

@Juxtaposer @howdydave @Xander Thanks to you all, enjoy snuffing

Only wrong rotation I’ve found is when the new order excitement takes over and I snuff all 10+ snuffs within an hour. Even if I don’t get the head spins or a clogged nose I still don’t get the scents straight.

@TomStrasbourg Actually that what happens to me when I take a pinch from every snuff I have within the hour.

Yeah I usually got the head spins and a stuffed nose from it too but I learned not to do that after my 3rd or 4th order. It’s so much better to leave some unopened for weeks after an order.

@TomStrasbourg I better not to order new snuff than watching a new unopened snuff tin and not try it, curiosity will snuff me out

@kougy  we simply cannot have that happening!

@kougy that’s the fun part. You keep yourself anticipating until you can’t stand it any longer. It also gets easier as your collection expands.

@stogie Indeed

@TomStrasbourg Ya maybe when my collection expands curiosity will fade a little bit and I will be able to wait more on new things, right now this is difficult as it’s rather a new hobby for me so curiosity is at the highest level.

At the start of the day I’ll use a scotch, then in the after noon perhaps a Kendal Brown, then round up the day with a SG black rappee. I will say I’m consistent about rounding up the day with the rappee

@tboyer Nice rotation, enjoy it

I kind of think the perfect solution is to find the one snuff. Hang on, sorry, I think I’m being a troll. Gotta love the variety but, for me, Viking dark is the ONE. In reality, I take at least three snuffs with me, at all times.

@peppernut1 I want to do the same but I am rather new to the hobby and so curious to try everything I can reach so until the curiosity is served enough I don’t think I can stick with “the one snuff” … I wanna try Viking dark too I heard it’s good powerful snuff.

My rotation is simply what catches my fancy every day. I usually start w/ an Indian menthol type like motia or #66, or #6. It clears my head and nose and gives me a nice nicotine lift. Sometimes I use the Fubar Fugazi, which is coffee flavored, along w/ a cup of joe. Recently I have discovered Gletcher Prise, and so today, that was my morning snuff. Then I just go with whatever suits me. I don’t use my SG coarse snuffs in the summer too much, I prefer them in winter, which is super-sub freezing here in Colorado. At night is when I usually get into my F&T collection, and go with perhaps Seville, or Dr. Justice, maybe some Santo Domingo. When I’m driving in my car I usually take something that comes in a tap box, perhaps a Bernard or a Poschl… but it can vary. Well, thats my two cents in this rather old thread. Reprimand me if I need it for not being current, but I peruse various threads a lot, and comment if I feel the urge…

Its fine. I’d prefer fewer threads than multiple ones with the same topic.

Blind fill your boxes. It may surprise(and delight) you.

You must use my rotation or you must leave! Decide. J/k j/k

Now that I have plenty of choices in my collection at home ( and more on the way - Giggity! ) - I also have about a dozen or some small tins on my desk at work. Rotation is not the right word for me - that would imply rotating through to a returning point. I use "nope, nope, nope, YEAH - that’s the one I want " method - and ride that pony until time to get on another… For example - right now I am waiting to finish a report - and I have been from Whiskey and Honey to Anisette to Tube Rose … up nest … probably some Tom Buck…

Whatever accomodates your taste(s) is the right rotation.

In complete agreement with the ‘what’s right for you is right’.

Funny, I just posted a thread of a different color in the General category , not about rotation, but purposeful progression … http://snuffhouse.org/discussion/9385/flavor-progression-vs-rotation#latest

Personally, when it comes to rotation, I look to “The Hoakey Pokey” for inspiration.

Heres my rotational style: I feel like menthol, I take menthol. I feel like something sweet, I take something sweet. OH WOOPS! FEEL LIKE A LOAD OF NIC! Take what ya want when ya want it, cant go wrong.

I don’t think there’s a wrong way. That said, I know I progress from delicate snuffs to heavily flavored ones because I cannot note the nuances in reverse order.

For me, I start everyday with a pinch of Fubar medic. Apart from liking the snuff very much, the main reason I do this is to give my nose is a good clear out. It’s usually not long before my nose is moist enough to have a really good blow and set me up for the day. I find that try as I might to only snuff this to the very front of my know, this one tends to always give me a massive drip, so I’m usually hocking up and spitting a few times before it’s clear. On the other hand, I really like Wilsons of Sharrow Best SP, but I can’t really take it without suffering from something of a throat hit, so when I’ve had enough, my throat and nose tell me and then I tend to move on to something more moist. I suppose for me it tends to be; take moist snuff, follow-up with dryer snuff. Take too much dry snuff, followed with more moist snuff. Works for me.
