What is your preference? I usually partake of one giant pinch myself, just wondered what the general consensus is amongst others.
It depends on the snuff, generally I take big pinches but the rougher snuffs like scotches are best taken in several small pinches, also I find certain snuffs like Spanish Gem taste better when taken in small pinches.
I take a few(3-5 per nostril depending on snuff) medium sized pinches. Large ones make me sneeze (or cry hahah) usually, and small ones donāt feel like anything lol.
I seem to be developing a pattern of several small pinches in quick succession. But if I take snuff from the back of my hand, the piles tend to be large-ish.
This thread is going to be full of out of context quotesā¦ I usually decide to take more snuff in a pinch than a lesser pinch. I used to use less in a pinch, but lately I have been scooping up as much as I can in a single swipe.
One big, then several small.

āLarge ones make me sneeze (or cry hahah)ā -snuff_n00b Me to; I sometimes enjoy a good sneeze/watery eyes though. āThis thread is going to be full of out of context quotesā¦ā -cstokes4 Lolā¦ perhaps.
I start out the morning with two small pinches, I guess it gives a nice coating, and then itās easier for me to take as big oā pinches as I want through the day.
Iāve been doing the opposite from what most people posted aboveā¦ First I take a tiny pinch, then take as big a pinch as I really want. I find that the pre-pinch gets me ready for the āmain eventā! This is mostly true for fine/dry snuffs. With anything else, I can take as big a pinch as I want these days! 
Small and often.
A few small pinches usually does the trick.
small works better for me big does tend to make me sneeze not right away but after a time. A couple small pinches works wonders often I guess they could be considered on pinch done in several small bits.
whatever the spouse lets me get away with.
Iāve really been enjoying big ones. The sneeze feels awesome.

i notice on most snuffs that with medium to large pinches hit the back of my throat and are difficult to take to get as much in in one sniff (more discreet with small pinches since you can split them uop between pinches) although my nicotine cravnig from having taken large pinches for the last year and a half make me want to take really big pinches although this does seem like a waste to use large pinches if your nose is already covered in snuf it jut turns into a lump and really doesnt contribute to the nicotine i can take a harder sniff which is easy for me with smaller pinches like seperating one pinch in to two pinchesstill working on getting the sniff down from the last year and a half or so
Always small, because I chain vape all day :- )
i think ive figured out the sniff thing
Iām finding less is more, and more is less. That is smaller pinches, and more of them (used to be the exact opposite).
I take a small half pea size of HDT in each stril and repeat every 20 mins.
Layer up! Even if I take a large pinch from the snuffbox, I insufflate it a little at a time, alternating nostrils. If I try and take a big pinch in all at once, the snuff will either drop straight out or head for my throat. No middle ground. With small pinches, gradually layered, I can get as much snuff as I want, where I want. I would say Iām doing apple pip sized pinches, but might be doing between one per side or upwards of five per side depending on the snuff and whatās already in there. Sometimes with the finer snuffs I take a pinch of a coarse snuff and wait for that to moisten in order to catch the finer snuffs. Works well with plain coarse and highly scented finer snuffs
