Hi After reading the helpful Beginner’s Guide, I tried my Andechs (Poschl) snuff. It’s a nice aroma and flavor. However, I’ve found that by inhaling gently (to avoid it going in my throat) the snuff just ends up caked up like boogers around the nostrils. If I inhale just slightly stronger some goes into my throat. So I’m having a hard time finding a balance between a gentle sniff and a snort and don’t feel I’m getting the most out of the snuff. Unfortunately after a few days of practice I’m not getting any better. Any advice?
Try holding your breath while snuffing. This works for a lot of people, particularly with fine dry snuffs.
Try making a smaller amount to snuff, like the size of an apple seed or smaller.
shine, I’ve never tried Andechs, but I have had many other poschl products. If it’s anything like the others, a little clogging is just typical with Poschl. If you can, experiment with some other snuff before you reach a conclusion. Try a good menthol, an SP, a toast or scotch, and maybe even a fruit snuff. You’ll find that each of these has a different grind and moisture content, which will ultimately affect the inhale experience and booger factor. So, don’t get frustrated just yet.
Caked and boogers is the way to go! Also, always stick you pinky out. I’m serious people!
thanks for the tips! still experiencing the snuff boogers but hopefully will get the hang of it…I like this brand because I am a fan of Andechs beer but will try another brand when this pack is empty to see if there is a difference 
i’m a little late like always but heres my two cents, i always get the snuff booger cake after a half a day or so of snuffing anything i just figure it’s part of it, now more importantly any posch snuff i’ve had cakes up after only one or to pinchs, it’s do to the grind or something in the ingredients i think.
Are you pinching? If you are, put the pinch slighly further up the nostril then inhale, maybe slightly more sharply than before. The difference between it going up there and not hitting the throat, and not going up there at all is so slight in terms of pressure of inhalation that its almost impossible to put into words, so ongoing trial and error and plain pereverance is the key. We get variants on this question week in week out and sometimes, with great respect, I think we overcomplicate things - I’m moving away from talking about ‘technique’ in favour of stressing its actually a very simple thing. But unless people are raging coke heads, sniffing powder into the nose is such a new sensation it feels like there should be some elegant piece of advice that solves the problems, which there isn’t. Stick with it and it will resolve with familiarity.
Just to clarify i’m perfectly happy with my “technique” at this point. i just get a little residue after a days use, which i would assume is normal cus where the hell else would it go i know i loose some to drainage but i try to prevent that as much as possible. Anyway that’s just me. (Toque Blueberry menthol in my nose at the moment)
You are right, unavaoidable I guess considering what we are doing with our noses! If I blow after about every 10 pinches that seems to cut it down for me.
Blowing it out doesn’t clear it for me. I’ve got to dig w/ the hankie. It’s satisfying to clear it out, and the best part is filling it up again.
