@Xilbus fill a snuff box with a couple days worth and keep the rest in the jar ,the open tin will let the snuff dry out faster then the jar. You can peel the label by heating the bottom of the lid with a lighter, start at the warning label and after you have it off cut the warning off and stick the name label to the jar, or make a paper label and tape it to the lid.
Welcome @xilbus! 
I must get me some Firedance. I guess i’ll go light a bowl of Firedance flake and dream of it in my nose… Hmmm… Herb grinder…
I was wondering… adding snuff to a rolled cigarette? worth it?
I was wondering… adding snuff to a rolled cigarette? worth it?
I believe @Roderick has a story about trying to smoke some snuff. It apparently didn’t end up well for him. You may end up with some flaming snuff in your mouth. 
@crullers im talking sprinkling some in with tobacco, and using a filter to avoid that issue haha. would be interesting to hear how it went though.
Filtered should be OK I’d imagine. Also apparently some pipe smokers will sprinkle some on their pipe tobacco. I’d be afraid if it was a rollie I made with no filter lol.
just dont want to ruin a cigarette or waste snuff, for an experiment once, i burnt a half-full tub of red crest, it smouldered and spread slowly, kind of like incense, but it reeked, really badly. wondering if it would reek in a cig too.
My hands sweat constantly (hyperhidrosis), so taking pinches is inconvenient with my fingers. Are the little spoons worth the investment? Normally, I use the back of my hand or a card to take snuffs. Are there any better methods?
@bsssdd Many, including myself, like to do a ‘boxcar’, which is curling your index finger around the thumbtip, which makes a little ‘box’. You can do more this way than a typical pinch. But if too sweaty for that, a spoon or a ‘bullet’ may be in order. Keep reading this forum, my friend-there are tips on EVERYthing snuff here.

Thanks for explaining the method, just about everything else I’ve read here mentions the thumbnail without saying how to keep it there!

Thank you, I just tried this and it is very effective!
Sorry to double post - but I will put a bullet in my next order. I still need to use a scooper to get it into the “box” so a bullet would be the best option for me it seems.
@bsssdd I use the box car for some snuff,a spoon for others, and some I pinch depending on the snuff. If you don’t have a plastic snuffhouse.org snuff box ,You should get a few. best under $8 dollars snuff gear I purchased.
Storage-long term. These are some containers I use or have used for longer terms: Kraft soft (spreadable) Limburger cheese jar. Similar to baby food jars. Kerr-Qorpak 2-4 oz wide mouth lab sample bottles. Use these for my daily snuffs. Coated fiber seals. http://www.qorpak.com/bottles-jars/clear-glass-bottles-jars/clear-graduated-medium-round-bottles Heinz glass gravy jars. Very good for long term. I have some 7+ yr old snuff in perfect condition. Just make sure you get them sealed correctly and tight. Should be difficult to remove lid. Tall glass olive jars. Similar to baby food jars. Any mason style jar with good condition lid/ seal (which can be bought new) Nalgene wide mouth heavy walled HDPE lab ware. Very nice as seal is integral with lid and cannot tear or get lost. Will not break! http://www.thermoscientific.com/ecomm/servlet/productsdetail\_11152\_L10676\_87430\_11964160\_-1 F&T tins. Seal with tape for very long terms. Pottery crocks with Grolsch type wire/ rubber ring closure that cheese is sometimes sold in. Looks very classy and innocuous on shelf or table. The cheese is usually quite tasty also! A good container source I came across… http://www.freundcontainer.com/ Just be sure to clean and de-odorize containers well. (use vinegar, baking soda, ground coffee, etc.) Keep sealing surfaces clean of debris (snuff) Less air space = better. Store in cool area (cellar/frig) away from light and snuff can last for many years. You may even find that some improves with age. (Old Paris for one) JP
[QUESTION] hey, i am new to tobacco. i recently got a tin of fine cut copenhagen snuff. The tin is maroon with a silver lid and cardboard bottom. i started out by dipping it in my lower lip, but i found it tasted nasty, and then my freind told me i was supposed to sniff it. i tried that and was just sneezing and it did not have a significant nicotine buzz. maybe i wasnt using enough. however i think i read online that i wasnt supposed to sniff it. im confused, so i have been mixing it with my wintergreen skoal dip but i still am unsure as to how i should use it. Thank you!

It’s made to be dipped. As for the taste it may not be for you. Or you could come to like it.
yeah, i have gotten used to it. why does it say snuff though?
@eamsch : people started dipping snuff like WE Garrett with a stick.(fine dry snuff) then someone made the snuff to dip moist. Confusingly, the English word “snuff” is translated to snus in Swedish and the word snuff is, often incorrectly and outside Sweden, used to refer to both the inhaled form and the placed under the lip form of snus/snuff. However, snuff intended to be inhaled through the nose is referred to as torrsnus (dry snus) or more correctly as luktsnus (smelling-snus) in Swedish. The moist form of snuff placed under the upper lip is just called snus in Swedish, and the correct word for referring to this form would be snus in English as well. What may add to the confusion is that the word snuff may also refer to dipping tobacco (also known as moist snuff, which may confuse even more), which is applied to the lower lip and the gums rather than inhaled or placed under the upper lip. Thus all three forms are different products.
@basement_shaman Good post. let me say… Never put American style “snuff” i.e. cope, skoal, grizzly in your nose. Well, OK try it at your own risk. In fact, I wouldn’t put the stuff anywhere but the trash. Swedish style Snus is much nicer and actually the more correct and safer for oral use. Having lived in Sweden I can attest to this as they invented snus/chew and it is sold everywhere, like cigs in the states. BTW they put it in the upper lip. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus nasal snuff is a whole different game. Goes in the nose. http://www.snuffbox.org.uk/ Also: American chew is fermented as opposed to snus which is pasteurized as part of the manufacturing process which results in less of the carcinogenic compounds/ mold/ bacteria and is thus considered a safer product. It is also date stamped and kept refrigerated until time of sale just as any perishable food product. Plus no need to spit. Never found any Swedes that liked American snuff and I in fact switched. Have several cans of General portion in my freezer. JP
Which scotch should i try first, garrett sweet, swisher starr, three thistle or superior? big fan of nicotine, or should i just get snafu plain. ill try all eventually, just working out what to order first. unless theres a better scotch for me? not looking forward to an agressive throat drip, but i can deal with it i guess.
