I keep reading things about people blowing their noses around here. I definitely give it a honk when it’s necessary, but I don’t blow my nose after every time I snuff. Am I supposed to be doing that? Is it not good to let it linger in my horn for too long? wondering…

i blow when i feel like or when i know i will be somewhere where i can not blow for a long time like work but it is not a rule ; again i feel like blowing i blow if not let it sit there and do the job lol… i find some snuffs build up more than others but that’s probably something that works different for each person…

You should blow your nose regularly. I blow mine at least twice a month.

Is that what those things coming off the African coast are?

I blow my nose after each pinch (set of pinches, rather). I generally use menthol, so if I leave it too long my nose starts to run. Although, I blow my nose after any kind of snuff. ~Ken

Your nose will let you know when you need a good blow.

I don’t blow my nose too often, prefer picking it and leaving snuff crumbs everywhere.

@bipolarbear- You’re a poet, and you didn’t even know it.

I have ‘the help’ blow my nose for me. what help???

lol ok good… Just making sure i’m not missing out on some warning that one who snuffs must blow their nose after each pinch. That would get so very tedious.

@AllanH, I’m with you on that one!!

This was one of my new person questions, thanks for the answers. I was worried that I would be damaging my nose if I left the snuff up there over night or for a long time during the day. Its taking me time to get used to the horribilness (not a real word!!) that I discover up my nose each day.

I’ve noticed the less blowing the happier my nose is with snuff for some reason.

I only do when I need to. The caveat is, my sinuses have been a wreck for my entire lifetime, so it’s fairly frequent no matter how often I snuff.

Yeah, murphysnuff, it’s taking me some getting used to too. Blowing my nose has never been so colorful.

I compare it to blowing one’s nose after a weekend music festival. It looks almost the same, but they cant blacktop the paths so it’s always dusty.

haha Yeah I always tell people it’s like blowing your nose after being at the renaissance fair all day…

I Snort or Sniff Red Bull or Hedges Snuff L260 snuff and blow my nose, and it’s usually before sleep ;D Sorry for my bad english

Well Micheltn…nose always drips outdoors, where I live is -20°C

I don’t blow after each snuff. I take atLEAST 20 pinches a day and I blow my nose probably 3 times or so a day. Unless I’m doing some perfumey snuffs because those tend to clog me up moreso than the others. However I’m primarily a SP man and those don’t really get too stuffy… just wait til you really feel like you need to blow your nose lol It’ll get easier as time moves on, you’ll get used to it and you might forget to blow your nose all together! lol

so… are you saying you don’t always wipe your ass or only when it “drips?”

Rofl xD

This forum should implement smileys !!!

Maybe he has a bidet and wiping is optional.

I don’t blow my nose anymore than I did pre-snuff. Once I got my technique down, I didn’t really have a problem with gunk everywhere. When I was brand new at snuff and hadn’t figured it yet, I went through tissues like crazy.

Can you share us your technique jazzi_mike ?

HE lets it run, then wipes his chin with his vest.

UnicornU: I hate to sound all zen-master on you but to be completely honest, I started getting better at snuff when I just didn’t think about doing it right. I just took a light breath in and wasn’t focused on getting it. When I was doing searches on ‘the proper technique’ on this forum, I read about a couple things to make it better, but honestly you just have to work on it. I will say when I take a pinch of snuff, my adam’s apple is lowered, and my top lip droops down a little. Now those aren’t the things that will make your technique happen; those are just the physiologic things that happen when I take a pinch into my nose. Also, it helps if you take 3/4 of a breath and just suck in with your nose instead of totally taking a breath. It does really suck trying to learn, but it is worth it. Snuff always gives me a little lift no matter how many times a day I use it.

Sometimes instead of blowing I will sport with a gurgle for a while till it dries up.

@Juxtaposer: or blow little bubbles and pop them with your pinkey finger.

On the bucket list, thanks.

I blow my nose only when that organ demands that I do so. And preferably into a paper hankie - I keep my snuff hankies for tidying up after snuffing.

My wife is just freaking out with all the brown hankies I’ve been creating! I have only a couple of snuff hankies, nowhere near enough to cover my usage. I blow whenever I feel like I have too much snuff caked up there and not tasting the recent doses. Blow it out and start fresh, that’s my motto.
