New Snuff taking technique.

S

I’m sure this isn’t new, but it is to myself. If I’m going to take a pinch from a box or tin that does not easily permit 2 fingers I simply make a hook out of my index finger, dig in, and raise up a wonderful dollop of snuff that I then bring to the nostril and sniff it right off the finger tip. I find this gives a maximum amount of snuff especially when it can be easily repeated. I find this works with a wide variety of snuffs.

J

Why would you have a box or tin that does not easily permit 2 fingers?

S

Indeed I usually use a spoon, but for some reason I’ve misplaced it. I began this method using F&T tubes and really it can be used on other larger tins as well. I find it less messy on the shirt or under the nose.

Maybe this could help you www.snuffmachine.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player\\_embedded&v=HJwSU8wGdsw If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask

S

Machines? I’ll pass.

R

why? this is reservoir, doser and snuff machine in one single device

Poschl Packard’s Club is a machine box, Machines are problem-matic. Two holes? My thumb can only accommodate one. Best of luck and thanks for your effort . @saucy_jack Back in the day ,some would grow one long fingernail to get into tight reservoirs.Also worked great for retrieving magic nose goblins. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4OxK5cpzZE

you think snuff machines are problematic in general? I can only take the snuff in two holes. otherwise I feel not good.

@basement_shaman said fingernail also plucked guitars and tested coke quality. Hahaha!

S

I’ll always decant to a smashbox or snuffbox which permits me to pinch. Won’t use any other method. As for F&T tubes, I just use a teaspoon to fill a smashbox. It’s not rocket science. As for oiled tapbox snuffs, I just tap out enough snuff in to the palm of my left hand until there’s enough to take two pinches with my right hand. Again, not rocket science. There’s always a way to pinch and it’s the best method imo. Spoons, bullets, machines, sniffers, not for me.

S

Now that we know what you like we can stop everything. Lol I’m looking for a better method then the dirty, messy, pinch. I believe I have found it. It’s not rocket science but if you read the opening post perhaps you can try it? Lol

S

Fair point. Each to their own but snuff is a messy business whatever method you employ. But you can’t beat the pinch. It’s the best method. I firmly believe that. But you do what you like, so long as you’re enjoying yourself, who am I to tell you what to do? Have fun.

S

You’re growing on me SnuffySnuff. Lol

@RealSnuffmaster Snuffing in stereo, Just isn’t for me! I am Happy someone is making snuff accessories. for your success

S

That’s good to hear @saucy_jack. I’m well aware I’m not a naturally easy person to like. I fell down the charisma tree and missed every damn branch. But hey ho, I try my best on here. Yes, this is me trying my best!!!

J

@saucy jack by no means did I intend to invalidate this method of taking snuff. In fact this method has been celebrated in its history. I have seen gold fingernail tips being pawned off on E-Bay at agreeable prices. You may be interested if you dress up for formal occasions. One such fingernail I mentioned here in the house some years ago. Search to see if it pleases you.

S

@Juxtaposer no worries and i’ll look up this elusive gold finger nail. Lol

B

i use the palm of my hand–as opposed to back of hand --to take snuff, most of the time. i’m a new guy–so maybe just rookie stuff. i do pinch am. scotches

J

My palms would be too sweaty at work. I have started pinching at work, but I still use the back of my hand most often if I don’t have my fingernail clippers handy.

S

Only time I use my palms is with those darned poschl tap boxes where I tap out enough in to me left palm to be able to take two pinches from with my right hand and as I hardly ever use poschl this is a rarity.

S

I’ve actually perfected this method and find it easier to use than pinches even. The only time I stray is if its in a box. The palm method sounds frightful.
