I was hoping some of you could give me some tips. First off i am new to nasal snuff(about 2 months on and off)i have smoked ciggarettes for about 14 years. Recently everytime i take some snuff my nose starts running horribly regardless of what kind of snuff i am using,i usually sneeze also but that i can understand. Is the nasal drainage common with new suffers?,or maybe there is a brand of snuff that is easier on new snuffers. Any advice is much appreciated,i have no problem sticking it out if this is a problem that goes away over time. Thanks alot and happy new year to everybody!!.
menthols are high runners usaly. Some florals make my nose run bad. Some other scents too. It’s kind of a crap shoot. However yes when I was new my nose ran much more then now when it’s seasoned. In fact I can still snuff now a little when my allergies are active which used to be a run and clog all day type of thing. Yeah it gets easier to snuff with practice. Often when my nose runs a short quick blow will help. Also noticed that larger less frequent pinches seems to help with runniness duration (not frequency).
It will get better with time but some snuffs still open the taps for me. I don’t mind because my nose acts like a selfcleaning oven. Unfortunately this is a matter of trial and error because what’s good for me might not be OK for you. Sneezing will go away, almost! After a couple of years I still sneeze sometimes and I quite like it.
That happens to me still, not as bad as when i first started but still a bit. I find schmalzlers like Bernards Doppelt Fermentiert clogs me up rather than make me run. I carry a hankie around with me just to wipe up excess drips (a quik little snort will get it back in your nose too). And for the sneezing it goes away pretty fast, or did for me at least!
You snort the snot you blow out onto your hankie, thats kinda…disgusting
This is an issue for me too, and I’m fairly new in the game – six months or so. Some snuffs make me run and some do not. This is pretty consistent too; if a particular snuff makes my nose run once, it probably always will. Some don’t. McChrystal’s clove is one that never makes my nose run; Temptation Mango Cream always does. I don’t particularly mind the runniness since I figure it’s all part of the deal, and I keep a hanky close by most of the time. Also, I sometimes just let it drip to the back of my throat (tip head back) and the back drip is usually somewhat satisfying, if gross to speak of. 
Thanks everyone!. I have found that the Menthol snuffs do make my nose run alot more than the others,i have a good selection right now so i’m gonna go through them and see which work and which don’t. Thanks again for the input.
I guess there just HAS to be a couple of drawbacks to snuff. Hedges L260 is a guaranteed gusher, but I keep coming back! …go figure. Toasts and SP’s are great for drying out the sinuses. You never did say what was in your rotation. I’ve been at it for 11 months, have acquired 145 kinds and got 15-20 new ones coming my way (oh yeah, I’ve got SAD… a runny nose…AND a fatter wallet ). Hopefully you’ll adjust or find out what to do different. Smoking is bad… keep telling yourself that. And if you keep enough snuff in your system you’ll have no desire to smoke… that’s the prize. I’m off the soapbox.
@hooked- I’m tired of smoking(literally)so that habit is on it’s way out even though i do enjoy it. As for the snuff that i have been trying i will have to check and type it here later. A few i know of off hand are Samuel Gawith Mandarin,Peppermint,Peach and i believe a McChrystals ice?(i don’t have the container with me right now). I do have some american snuffs in my humidor right now that i don’t get the nasal drainage from quite so bad,i bought those more recently though so i was going to attempt to use them last but i did get one of them out today with hardly any issue so i am going to continue that tomm. I also have used some of the Toque ones with not alot of issues,i am waiting on a order right now actually. From what i have read maybe the UK snuffs that i have so far just don’t work with how my nose is,besides the Toque one’s.
I just looked and the american snuffs that i have that don’t affect me nearly as much are Rooster and Brunton,they burn like hell but the nicotine kick and lack off the severe nasal discharge is nice,maybe my body just doesn’t like the scented one’s?.
@buffalo- Seems like I have the same issues as you. I have only tried a handfull of snuffs but out of all of them the bruton is the only one that doesnt clog me up or make my nose run at all. From what I have read the high dry toasts seem to be similar to the scotchs so Im going to give some of those a try too.
@Brandasaur “(a quik little snort will get it back in your nose too).” That is SO rad dude!!! You just scored brownie points with me man (yes “brownie” is double entendre, but NOT a sexual innuendo) .
Oh…regarding the thread… The damage done to the cilia from smoking does not help in these matters (something to consider).
