I trimmed mine today after my first week of taking snuff. Is this something I will need to plan on keeping up with more regularly? Not to be disgusting, but it does kind of get in the way… Right?

I like to keep mine trimmed. It seems like when I keep em short I get less build up of snuff in the nose.

As related to snuffing it doesn’t’ bother me. In general, it’s a PITA.
I find it annoying. Whenever something is irritating my nose, such as pollen, a cold, or snuff, I seem to become aware of my nose hair and can feel it tickling my nose. It doesn’t irritate on its own, but it exacerbates other irritations. For this reason, I trim regularly. I use one of those battery-operated trimmers, and it works remarkably well. On a slightly related note, I have recently come into possession of a moustache. It’s been so cold for so long here in NY that my skin has started to suffer. Repeatedly going outside after a hot shower and a shave made the skin on my face dry out in a fashion similar to eczema. I decided that the only option was to stop shaving until the weather became more sensible, so now I look like I have been cast away on a desert island for a few months. I have noticed two tobacco-related drawbacks to having a moustache. Firstly, I have noticed that my moustache has started to smell like cigarette smoke, and not in a good way. I love the smell of tobacco smoke, but for some reason, the smell in my moustache has a rather sweet smell that becomes cloying after a while. Secondly, I have noticed that, no matter how careful I am, I get brown snot in my moustache when I blow my nose after snuffing. I usually go to the bathroom to blow my nose so that I can wash my upper lip afterwards. My grizzly beard-moustache combo has certainly done its job in protecting my skin from the elements, but boy am I sick of wearing it. I was going to shave this weekend, but the forecast says we are getting even more snow and freezing temperatures this week, so I guess I’m stuck with it a little while longer 
can trimming them make your more sensitive to scents
IDK if it affects sensitivity, but it does make it easier to extract those pesky “snuff boogers” that upon occasion latch onto a hair.
