Hey guys,
Im having a problem that is making me think about stopping snuffs.
I’m not talking about sniffing hard and wrong because I’ve been doing it for years.
For a few months now it has been irritating my throat and esophagus especially when I wake up.
It seems some residue or I don’t know, I started applying Snuff to my nose with my finger, I stopped aspirating and sniffing, nothing helps.
It’s happening with all brands and types.

A flush thrice a day might keep such problems away! Have you been running proper daily nose flush with lukewarm water at least before the bed all this time?

Hey, how’s it going?
Yes, every day before going to sleep.

I had a similar experience when I had been drinking and had not cleaned my nose out with saline spray.
The combination of dehydration and the back drip made me feel terrible and was close to quitting as well.
The big thing for me is drinking lots of water, which helped my body flush out residue snuff. Also, some snuffs just don’t work with me (I’m looking at your 6photo) and cause me to have an irrigated throat.
I would say have a snuffless week and drink lots of water and slowly go back on the snuff and see if you feel better.

Probably not the same but this type of thing happened to me with bandito cigars. Everything was good till i would wake up in the morning and it would be an absolute dreadful dry heave type taste in the back of my throat. I would run to the closest source of liquid and chug and chug and spit and gurgle 2 or 3 mouthfuls of mouthwash till it would go away. I do believe mine was related to heartburn and stomache acid going in my throat while I slept. I know I drank a load of water and took omeprazole (heartburn relief) and it fixed my issue after a week or so.
But thats just somthing similar so no clue if it will assist you. Good luck on your journey.

This makes sense, it seems like my experience, stomach acid can cause this discomfort.
it’s stronger in the morning, maybe my throat is irritated and the snuff is irritating a little more. I don’t know
Any updates?? 
Curious if it helped. Lots of water daily is important for many things imo

Rother, I notice it mornings after quiet a bit of use the previous day. I think more so with finer grinds. Mind you apart from using a handkerchief I have not been clearing out my nose with anything. Take care, K
Hey Blergs, how’s it going?
No, unfortunately

Thanks K,
I usually use Schmalzlers, I don’t like finer grinders. Could this be a small back drip maybe? During the night or I don’t know

Schmalzlers? Not surprising then, especially if more acidic (Bernard) ones cased with vinegar are on your daily menu.

Which brand or type of snuff would be less aggressive?
Interesting, I used a few brands and various types, English, Indian, South African and German.
All causing discomfort now
I didn’t have this problem before.
Those types tend to have more drip no matter what you do. I’d rec using fine grind and dry-moist snuff. Just take smaller pinches and sniff very lightly when you have it. Different than You would with those or very moist course grinds.
Worth a shot for a few weeks imo 
I’d rec and like; Toque Toffee, spanish gem or ambrosia, wild berry, toqueUSA whiskey Honey, F&T old Paris? Like this alot.
Maybe others will chime in.
I’m still a bit new to snuff and on a crusade to trying a whole bunch ATM lol

Water trick early in the shower. Just a few few drops on each nostril. Later on agitate your schnoz like you were trying to unclog it then blow hard.
Works perfectly for me, but I’m also not a heavy user.

Im, the problem is, I know how to sniff without making the snuff go into my throat and I keep my nose clean.
And it’s still irritating my throat
