Hi there. I’m brand new to snuff taking. Got my first snuff yesterday and am having success with the pinch method. I expected the effects of the nicotine to be more lasting. I take a pinch and when I do my eyes usually water so I know I’m getting a good sniff. It only seems to last for a minute or 2 though. I’m using Wilson of Sharrow’s Crumbs of Comfort and like everything about it. Is it because it’s not very strong or maybe not a big enough pinch? How long does it last for you? Any recommendations?
McSnuffy Welcome <:-P I would like to answer but I can no longer judge. I enjoy the aroma though. Try a few more pinches in a row and see if that makes a difference. Ever nose is different as is everyone’s nicotine tolerance. I often hear snuffer getting a buzz from snuff. @-)

786 Welcome @McSnuffy!
Echo what @basement_shaman said, a few pinches each spaced a few minutes apart might yield longer-lasting effects for you. I would personally call Crumbs of Comfort a medium-strength snuff, but as observed above everypony’s nose and tolerance are different.

To me CoC is a low strength snuff, but then I was a heavy smoker before picking up the powder. As for the effects lasting, I find I have to take a pinch every 10-15 minutes all day to maintain my admittedly high nicotine levels. I would do as @slobandtom and @basement_shaman recommended and if it doesn’t help then put some higher nicotine snuffs on your next order.

Thank you guys. I just received some McCrystals O&G yesterday in the mail and yried it today. It is longer lasting and more satisfying. My next order will be some stronger snuff. Any suggestions?

That Rustica is strong, but heed @Roderick 's (Toque) warnings about it.

Welcome friend! I first used F&T Princes and it was thick enough to get good pinches in the nose and not sucked into throat. And man it gave me a nic turbo charge in the first try of that stuff. I also think the juicy effect it gives in the nose delivers the Vitamin N in a better way. That may just be me though but I’d give F&T Princes a try and some of the other F&T moist thicker snuffs. Also give Bernard Aecht Albayrischer a try too. As I said about the F&T I get good N from this too. 
enjoy

41 Photo White Elephant is good and strong, It make take a little time to conquer being fine and dry. Makes a great mixer to bump up weak snuffs without changing the flavor much. So does Dholakia White and Fubar Willie Pete.

Coarser grind snuffs that are also high n content will last. I have a homemade coarse coffee mill grind that will satisfy for about an hour, and to put that to scale if you have tried dholakia white that will satisfy me for about 10-15 minutes. Another thing in some pubmed article said experienced snuffers had higher absorption of nicotine, why that is I don’t know but keep with it and you’ll be off the cigs. The trick is when you are really fiending, use the snuff, not your normal method, soon your body will get what it needs from the snuff, stick with it.

I know what you mean about a short hit, but shoot for the stronger stuff - it may not necessarily be longer lasting but it will be more satisfying. One of the strongest snuffs I have tried was London Brown but it is very coarse and moist which makes it hard to keep up your snout. That said - if you put it through a coffee grinder you are on to a winner…great buzz. I also agree with Basement Shamen, take more - it can take a while to establish your preferred dose.
Best.
