This is where 'things/oddball minor issues & observations you don’t see discussed every day" in relation to the experience of snuff-taking can be stated and shared. I’ll give a few examples to get us started: Since starting snufftaking I’ve discovered I can sometimes really hear myself breathing from a clacky/clicking nose to a slightly windier nose and its a bit annoying to discover I’m accidentally living up to a variant of my user-name in an unintended way because sometimes I am now definitely a ‘whistler’ (through my nose anyway). If I don’t adequately clear my nose before I go to lay down for a nap or over night I can wake up with telltale fallout snuff crumbs in my bed (I have a lightly colored fitted sheet, don’t sleep with the other sheet and just one unattached not real big blanket so this might be easier to see on my bed than others). Dholakia White makes exactly the same color of ‘discharge’ as any other snuff (which I find suprising, I would have though it would be lighter). I really think I should buy stock in the Kleenex Company (I also really think they should come out with brown Kleenex) Edited to add another: When I smoked my cat steered clear of me – I could sit at my computer or on the couch and smoke, confident I would be allowed to smoke in relative peace (so long as I didn’t leave a lighter laying very far from me to call to his need to biff everything to BarneyNeverNeverLand) because my cat Barney didn’t like it when I smoked (I have since not smoking, learned what a real UmbiliCat he has really turned out to be) Now no tin, no lid to a tin (even while its in my hand and opened for mixing or mid sniff!) is safe from his prying paws – he actually reaches up and tries to biff an open tin from me and tries to intercept as I am bringing the tin near to me (the way I often sniff is to take my Czech tool and tin close to me just like I am about to eat from it but so I can sniff from the spoon end directly over the tin to help catch run away snuff). I had to get off the couch to come back over to the computer just to get a good sniff in peace (which inspired this additional edit while here).

periodically I will make a short sharp cough and I swear it seems like snuff dust comes out of my mouth when I do, which I find kind of comical (almost like something you’d see in an old slapstick movie)

The dusty cough has happened to me too from time to time. As well as the observation about Dholakia White lol. I noticed that after a few months of using snuff my desk and work area smell like a snuff box when I return to it. I find it quite relaxing especially here at work.

You know, sometimes when I blow my nose, I swear snuff comes out of the tear ducts in my eyes.

Snuff gives me superhuman strength. And it repels mosquitos. And it is an effective means of birth control.

@LincolnSnuff I also hear that it cures cancer, promotes world-peace, and raises self-esteem.

@Lincoln snuff: Very true about birth control, my ex girlfriend wouldn’t get close to me when I was using certain scotches!

It cured my rhinitis after years of ineffective antibiotics! so the medicated bit IS true!

It’s also usually coloured brown!

@ wildhorsesmane: I have a whole other thread about eye-snuffing, might wanna check that out, lol.

@ Sfingle. Yeah, I read that. I thought about that when I get snuff in my eye. No good sir. Sometimes when I’m on the bus, I take a pinch and for some reason the sun shines through just right so that I can see the last bit of snuff I flick off my fingers spread like, well, very fine dust into the air. I hold my breath and pray no one inhales at that moment or gets an eyeful. Hasn’t happened yet thank God but I need to be careful.

Oh the ol` dusty cough. Happened to me once or twice. Somewhat amusing I might add. Although I’ve noticed the area around my workplace smells of snuff now.

My girlfriend says when she uses a mentholated snuff, her right ear tingles

My step mom will eternally think that my snuff taking is a cocaine habit.

@kidnapper: That was my mom and step-dad’s first impression as well. They really freaked when they saw I had a razor lying around, which I had been using to cut up cardboard boxes for my pet snake to eat his mice in, and apparently they though I was cutting and/or dealing coke.

At least there hasn’t been a police involved problem. That would be quite embarassing.

Actually I covered up my snuff taking with a large coke habit…

Maybe I should mix my cocaine and snuff and kill two birds with one stone.

@snuffster and kidnapper: Not a bad idea…lol.

Am I the only one that likes WOS Vanilla Ice? Nobody ever mentions it. I think it is a good dose of eucalyptus with a nice vanilla background.

I like the Vanilla Ice although it is not a every day snuff for me, I do enjoy it

I used to like Vanilla Ice back in the 90’s -Kidnapper

Ice Ice baby! Too cold, too cold!

My father keeps insisting that you don’t sniff snuff but that you put it in your mouth. I know it can be done, but…HAHAHAHA

Hmmm can’t very well take snuff (I use a spoon/utensil or the back of my hand) with a box fan blowing on you. I can see this is going to be a regular issue during summer (and especially as long as my apartment building seems to be stalling at putting the air conditioner on)

@whistlrr: I was thinking that same thing just the other day. I live in AZ, so it’s pretty hot in the summer, so I basically stick with using either a bullet, or using my other arm to barricade my head and snuffing hand from the wind of my fan. This is especially important when taking scotches or HDT. I had an experience with that stuff flying off the back of my hand and swirling around the room in a very mystical way the other day.

I used to live in Phoenix and the heat was horrible. It was even too hot to go swimming. -Kidnapper

Yes, I lived in Phoenix for 10 years. The worst place I’ve ever lived. Too hot to do anything. Nothing but old concrete and dirty palm trees and rudimentary cooling systems lol.

Take a HOT shower in summer and then go outside. Your body temperature will be higher than the temperature outside and you will not feel the heat.

@Pieter - That’d be a great idea if your body temperature could be above 120 degrees Fahrenheit which is what Phoenix usually is during the summer

Taking a hot shower down here in the summer is almost unbearable. The humidity is already starting to come on thick. It was 72 at 6am and humid as heck. I’m not ready for the summer yet.

@ snuff_n00b: You only exaggerate slightly. I lived in Phoenix for 12 years and it’s rarely over 115. More often it’s only 105 or so. Best to sleep through that part of the day if you can. The record is 122. But it’s a dry heat…heh heh heh. I used to turn off the water heater in May or June and on again in October. I was fortunate to live outside the city and it did cool off to 80 or so at night. Downtown keeps the heat and it can be over 100 at dawn. Phoenix sucks.

Ouch I know somewhere I’ll never live.

It’s quiet cold here right now in the UK, after last weeks warm weather and I’ve always dreamed of going to visit Phoenix everer since I heard that Glen Campbell song. You guy’s have put me right off the idea, as I don’t like it too hot either!
