Ok, I’ve been snuffing for a few months now, but Im having a real problem actually smelling the snuff. Once I snuff, I get the flavour of the snuff for maybe 30 seconds most, before it disappearing. Im presuming Im missing a lot of the flavours also, with it being so short. My question is whether there is anything I am able to do to increase this. I have one of those dodgy noses that only smell through one nostril at a time, if that makes a difference?? Thanks for any answers, I feel as though I’m being robbed of my snuffing enjoyment!
everyones nose smells through one nostril at a time. Also any smell that you are expoused to your nose becomes less sensitive to. So probably the best thing to do is switch up your snuffs and make sure that you have snuffs that smell widely diffrent from each other. Nothing unusal there. Again it’s a natural part of the function of the nose to alternate between nostrils.
Really? I’ve always thought its something a bit unusual. There;s no way I’d be able to take a pinch in either nostril as some people do, as I simply can’t breathe in through my other nostril. As to mixing my snuffs up, I certainly do this. At the moment Im taking Tom Buck, Wilsons IHT 22, Toque Toast & Marmalade, and Crumbs of Comfort, although I’ve got roughly 20 different snuffs I take on a regular basis. Most of my day is spent snuffing an SP and a toast though. I’ve considered a neti pot, although Im not entirely sure if this would help?
I just tried Toque’s Berwick Brown for the first time the other day. Easily the coarsest Toque I’ve had. Smell seems to linger in the nose for a long time.
If you want a scent that will last until you are sick of it try Jaxsons Toffee. An hour later it will be as strong as when you first snuffed it.
Or Ganga. That stuff lingers.
I actually get a better effect by using one nostril.
@danw1988 : Do you smoke? I snuffed as a smoker and enjoyed both for a long time, but after I quit cigs I started to get more flavour/scent from snuff in general. I will second the comments about Ganga and BB. They sure do last. I also find McChrystal’s Violet to hang around a long time. Could be the snuff you’re using. It could just be how you’re wired, too.
Actually, after quitting smoking for just over a week, I have noticed an increase in my sense of smell as well! It is lovely
Exactly the same happened to me. Quit the cigs to fully enjoy snuff!
I am glad I did. I enjoy snuff much much more than I enjoy a cigarette. Plus it’s nice to be able to go for a run and not feel like my lungs caught fire
Yes, I first used snuff to quit smoking, and now I have one every now and again when I feel like it. Not often, a pack of 10 lasts me a week or so. Sounds like I know what I want to do if I want to enjoy my snuff!
The same goes for me, I am using snuff to keep me away from the buggers!
Quitting smoking has helped me with smelling it as well.Cheese&bacon lasts long. I had a pinch of it about an hour ago and the smell is still there! its kind of annoying i want to snuff some peppermint but im not in the mood for bacon&peppermint lol
Bacon and peppermint… I had them once, never again.
LOL did you ever try snuffing it? xD
Heck, no. They smelt far worse than they tasted…
Where did you get those? I actually want to try those
Nothing like PeppermintPiggies
