This is probably self-evident, considering that we all visit a forum dedicated to the thing, but just a random thought: Would anyone care to share particularly transcendent experiences that they’ve had with a pinch or just snuff in general? For example, sometimes I will take a pinch and bask in it and have a realization that I love the entire experience of snuff. I just took a pinch of GH Ambassador and wanted to pound my fist on the table and exclaim “Delicious!” “perfect!” I had a similar experience with a few spoonfuls of Santo Domingo yesterday, and have the experience daily when I have a pinch of Whisky and Honey and Lime Toast. No, I’m not inebriated, I just have a passion for snuff… 
Share away…
Last week, I stumbled upon the fact that I could slowly sniff huge pinches until my nostrils literally felt full of snuff. The nicotine rush was tangible and heavenly. I was sitting outside on the back patio next to the woods and stuffed myself full of Toque Bourbon…I felt like I was floating down a river. Sadly I haven’t been able to truly replicate the experience…
Certain snuffs sometimes evoke very vivid images in my mind of other times and places. Santo Domingo conjures up visions of a colonial English manor house somewhere in the tropics. Honey Bee makes me think of rocking on a porch swing on a lazy summer afternoon in the American South. I could go on, but I think you probably get the idea. All it takes is a pinch of good snuff and a little imagination…
Before the ban was on, I went through about 7 g of President every day. Every pinch was a fairly generous heap on the thumbnail (one for each nostril.) Now that I’m using snuffboxes, I don’t really have an accurate measure anymore. In addition to the nicotine, I drink VAST quantities of iced coffee and iced tea.
Zwiefacher always makes me freak out… I love the smell of that snuff, in the tin and in my nose. Magnificent. Superb. Excellence. It’s so many wonderful things all at once…
I realised how sublime snuff is when I started to take massive pinches - it really is two different experiences; the small, quite timid beginner pinch and then the joy, like falcolnfive says, when you take the first monster pinch. A small pinch burns and sits on the line between pleasant and unpleasant. People certainly get to enjoy snuff at that level and can take it for years that way, never realising it can be so much better. Even FAQs miss this usually and it wasn’t until I stumbled upon Prof Griffiths site about ten years ago that I discovered this approach. It transformed how I use snuff and how I enjoy it. I guess the mechanics of it are simple: if you imagine the pinch as a ball of snuff, the outside layer gives the burn, but the inner core the nicotine hit and the longer lasting taste.
