Which do you prefere, and why? Explain.
out of these, i prefer pinch usually. a bit more control, and it warms the snuff. I also sometimes use back of hand for fine snuff and boxcar (thumbnail with first finger wrapped round it to make a wind resistant pocket) with tap boxes. but since i prefer english snuffs, i prefer pinching.
Personally I prefer the back of hand, as I have to keep my hands clean at work. Boxcar when walking the dog, unless it’s really windy or raining then I pinch. But I’m really not keen on pinching, always makes my nose sore.
Pinch! I have no real control/feel of where the snuff is in relation to my nose otherwise, my moustache sweeps half of it away, and the other half is smeared on my face 
I’m almost as bad with the spoon too 
The other benefit is that it doesn’t look quite as strange in public as the other methods.
I do enjoy the pinch: particularly in public for obvious reasons of etiquette, but I have been known to use the back of hand when in the comforts of home. With the back of hand I am more capable of controlling the air flow and create a decent suction–also it hits harder, but not in a cocaine means.
Lately I’ve been a backhander. But I seem to go back and forth between boxcar, pinching, and back of the hand. I gave up using the little spoon - I thought I’d like it and it would be more tidy, but I found it wasn’t worth the trouble to me.
@SnuffH3ad - I started off pinching at first but after a few months I went on to the back of the hand because I can take larger amounts and at the same time I personally feel more effect or ‘hit’ and taste that way. 
But every now and then I take it in the Gentleman way - pinching when I want to do it in a ‘classier’ way… 
Good answers everyone.
I notice that Im typically clumsy about aiming perfectly with the back-of-hand technique. But with a fine and dry snuff I seem go get a nice heavy “poof” filling the lower part of the nose where it’s supposed to with a big loose pinch sniffed semi-carelessly; kind of giving the same effect as a back-of-hand. I still pussy out and sniff a tight pinch carefully over the course of a whole minute sometimes though. I tap fluffy moist snuff like President on the back of my hand and pinch that to my nose with ease. With something coarse and heavy like Bernards Weihnacht I simply adore the boxcar technique. I still pinch it at times, but the looser it goes up - the more sexy the nicotine hit. So boxcar gets a nice fat thumbs up from me.
It is impossible to answer this question unless you tell me which snuff I am hypothetically taking.

A valid point. How about, which snuff do you find yourself partaking the most, and the least? Then figure in the ratio of pinch vs. b.o.h…
Well in that case I use pinchable snuffs more of the time. Scotches and toasts demand it to give fine control to where they land. Other general snuffs its just more convenient. Then something like Taxi or Black rappee, its pinch and shove rather than pinch and sniff. Though, schmalzers and German snuffs get back of handed or boxcared.
depends on the snuff.For all I need to get a spoon again.
I can get a massive amount of snuff with the box car with a pinch I would have to do 7 to 10 for the same dose. so yes boxcar for most of my snuffing needs. there are but only a few snuffs I pinch exclusively.Back of hand ? I don’t see the point 8-X
Ha, right on! For those who need help on what technique to use with which snuff, could the moderate to veterans list the snuff and how they partake it?
Boxcar all the way… unless I’m driving then I pinch - Don’t bother using snuff bullets when driving, you’ll kill yourself.
I like the pinch and the boxcar. The back of hand is too awkward for me. I also like bullets but only when the snuff itself is a fit for that method.
I have a dog, so I never use the pinch. I do not want my fingers to disturb snuff aroma.
I use a spoon to transfer snuff from snuffbox/tin to the back of my hand and snuff it from there. can take a lot more at once than with pinches, seem to be able to control it better, keep my fingers clean, and not risk contaminating the snuff with whatever might be on my fingers. when I’m out and about, though, I’ll generally pinch from a snuff box or use a tap box
Another reason to pinch is some snuffs clump. With a pinch, you can roll/work the snuff as you inhale to break it back down to a powder
