I’ve been using Tube Rose all day every day since I began, with a few others I’m trying in between, and I find pinching it to be the best way for me. I always blow off the excess before sniffing, so that it’s not all over my nose, because losing that tiny little bit doesn’t bother me. Check out the Youtube video “Gentlemen’s Guide to Snuff Taking”. There’s a thread here with that video in it and I’ve basically been doing it his way, but I don’t usually close the nostril I’m not sniffing with. It works well for me, though I still get the slight cough here and there.
You can use a bit more pressure between your fingers when you take the pinch to keep it more in place. While you’re sniffing, slide your first finger over and plug your nostril with your thumb. Then, kinda shake and jiggle the tip of your thumb around in your nose while your sniffing to snuff up any loose particles left on it.
When I’m at home at my desk I use a guitar pick and go slow. It works better for the coarse/moist snuffs.
I have to pinch fine grinds. I don’t see how people can do the opposite. You have so much more control over where the snuff goes and airflow when you pinch.
If you have no moisture in your nose .pinching extra fine grind snuffs will hit your lungs. Dehydration is bad so consume more liquids and stay hydrated. Fastest -you can moisten the snuffway with water on the finger tip, dry your hands and pinch away.
yeah, I pinch the fine grinds, and boxcar the rest. I’m soo happy becasue my pinch has gotten way better recently (less messy and better use of the thumb) : I’ve been snuffing 4 months.
I move my index finger back along the thumb when pinching to control the amount of snuff I’m sniffing. Not sure if this is standard technique.
I sometimes sprinkle the fines into my palm, and take it to my face like a child slurping up the milk from his cereal bowl
I found the key to pinching is using the middle finger instead of the forefinger. You get bigger pinches doing that.
I tried using both first and second fingers. I have fat fingers so the pinch is about the same. I can’t do the kewl move doing both nostrils with one hand, I have to switch hands. I also do the blow off move and like that too. I read a review and the guy stated that he exhales all the air out while sucking in his stomach before insufflating the snuff to create a smaller sniff. I practice that move and it does work. So here is a guy that taps his box, takes a pinch healthy pinch using his thumb and middle finger making sure to blow off the excess snuff then exhale to the point his stomach is against his spine and insufflates his snuff, switch hands and repeat. And no, I will not do a video lol
@MattheFox I don’t know why I didn’t think of exhaling fully beforehand. Thanks!
