I tend to pile it on the back of my hand, with two neat piles for adjacent nostrils, it’s kind of akward but Otherwise if I try to boxcar too much ends up in one nostril and not enough in the other ~X(
Cool, a stereo snuffer! I’m going to have to try that; I’ve always done one side at a time.
here’s one to try. reach into your snuffbox with your thumb, index finger and middle finger and do a double pinch touch your index finger between your nostrils and big sniff, then go wipe your nose. Actually I like to take a big pinch but take small hits off it, A throw back to my smoking.
Sterio snuffer, yeah I like that @Mouse ! :))
It’s working for me so far, but then again going to the toilet fully clothed worked for me at one very distant point in my life too (infancy), so I’m prepared to accept things might change
Not to be repetitive, and you probably found your own way, we all found our way with bits and pieces taken from others here and there. I DID USE ADVICE FROM SH ( SH is the closest entity to University of Snuff ) But whats natural to you, may be indifferent for someone else, but what did work best is finding my own way… NO CORRECT WAY…different strokes for different folks. I adjust size by type of snuff, ( but I use spoon most times ) but for instant, If in the morning I want the best apricot snuff ( IMHO ) TOQUE APRICOT to last a long scent a small pinch ( with the textbook light inhale ) works better than a spoon, scent lasts longer with small pinches than spoon ( while a big pinch or big spoonful tends to mask aroma a bit ( don’t know why or even care… It’s just what I noticed…so I adjusted. ) NTSU Black for instant, I try and get that up between my pupils… The higher up the better… and it doesn’t clog me up …surprised given the grind…I love the burn and the the ammonia smell ( I don’t air it out and others might say I’m nuts) …But what about the farmer who contracted cancer from stuffing snuff in his ear for 40 years…do we know if he aired his snuff out? was his snuff talking to him? is that why he choose his ear? at least he was above the neck and getting closer to the usual orifice for nasal snuff. There are worse places to stick it ( not there yet… keep reading ) Was he using snuff the correct way? i’m not to say, but i bet you he had 40 years of fun ( if it wasnt fun he woulda quit after a week… yathink ? ) if only cancer did not get in the way …he may have had 40 more years in other ear…anyway…just enjoy@50ft_trad…I am glad your here and snuff in GOOD HEALTH @50ft_trad… Perhaps? In one of those packages your soon to retrieve, you may have some BRUTON ( brutal ) on arrival…USE A BIG PINCH and immediately notice that you have returned to your infancy and went to the toilet fully clothed once again decades later…I know this as the case as first time I snuffed BRUTON, I took a huge spoonful and looked like my chubby baby self when I was a one year old in OCT 1963 , tears cried outta both eyes ( yet spoon only went in one nasal passage ) but instead of my blue favorite baby rattle in hand, I dropped my 1893 sterling demitasse Tiffany Spoon ( T&co ) that clanged on the floor. I almost shat as well, but had to refrain, I was snuffing in the bathroom of a Federal Building and returning to the courtroom, I didn’t have a change of clothes and I wasn’t comfortable wearing my handy Depends that day ( my very young girlfriend bought for me when I asked her to buy me some hankerchefs when she went clothes shopping , she hates snuff and says my handkerchefs look like I wiped my backside…so why don’t you wear depends instead, less wiping, less mess ) Alas, I am sure I will be single again soon.
Oh, I’m still trying to find the right way for me - very much in the exploratory stage. I expect a good few more weeks (at least) of exploring before I realy start to settle on anything 
Sometimes I take a big pinch, squeeze it firmly, open my fingers letting the pinch rest on my thumb, put my thumb ON my nostril (sealing the pinch in), letting my index finger hold the other nostril closed, and give it a big closed-blowhole sniff while pulling my thumb away from my nostril, breaking the seal and creating a vacuum lifting the big pinch right in. The strong vacuum helps to throw the snuff around in my nose better than a slight inward air current. Think about the spray of a higher pressure water hose compared to the steady stream of a lower pressure house. Soft sniffs tend to give me more of a throat or sinus hit compared to the strong short burst of this method.
That sounds like something I need to try, particularly when I get something that’s dried out a bit as that’s when I have the most trouble. Thanks
Wow! I’ve been trying the plug and blocked sniff routine tonight, and it’s worked a treat :-bd With Macouba I found pulling my thumb away whilst the vaccum was there worked well, but with my 60/40 Royal George and SP No 1blend which is a fair bit drier), a better option was sniff while blocked then stop the sniff (thumb still in place, and quickly pinch my nose with the other hand, then take my fingers away and give a little sniff … sounds more complicated than it is I think. Bottom line … more up the nose, much more flavour, no throat hit AND an unexpected bonus - less of a streaming nose. Maybe there was some irritation from the other techniques that was making my nose run more :-? Possibly more of a throat drip with releasing the thumb with the vaccuum still on though, so it’s obviously still going high up. Thanks @apvonkanel I’m going to play around with that some more 
no throat drip happens cause that’s the main way the body cleans the nose.
Thanks @bob, I kind of noticed that before when swallowing. The vacuum caused would draw it back, but it just seemed to be a lot sooner with the Macouba which is why I thought it’s landing higher … or at least more is than the other way.
I boxcar it in and if too much goes into one nostril (as referred to by @Hisgirlfriday ) I simply put more on my thumbnail.
As long as it all gets into your nose, there isn’t any waste!
@50ft_trad …I think this is probably the best method for big pinches: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YS15FOPwKE
Not sure the headdress would suit me 
but this does help justify the purchase of a churchwarden pipe which I’ve been putting off for a week or so :))
I have just watched this video clip again and it has really got me wondering…how on earth did they come up with the idea of filling tubes and blasting the stuff up someone’s nose?? I am trying to imagine the conversation - it probably started along the same lines as this very thread: “how do you take your stuff dude?” “well I just grind it up and stick my nose in the bowl” “Yeah I used to do that too but half of it used to fall out, ended up wasting half of it” “Happens to me too sometimes…so annoying…I’ve been thinking though, my dad’s got this cool pipe - cleans the ash out by blowing through it…” “…Are you thinking what I’m thinking…”? “Wanna give it a go?” “Nah, you must me out of your mind…” “Pussy” “Alright, but just don’t overload it ok…Wooooaaaaaahhhhh…duuuuuude!!! You gotta try this man!” These guys are the forefathers of this forum… ^:)^
I’m a big believer that great thing can come of being prepared to try something stupid … in fact I think my whole life was built on that very premise =))
@50ft_trad So that church warden pipe really is gonna come in handy then - Can you post the video? The headdress is optional by the way
Living alone, I’ll need to rewire the vacuum cleaner to blow first :-"
air compressor and a aluminium straw?
