I am starting a new job on Monday and am pondering what snuffs I’d like to use at work. I will be installing equipment in RV’s. Toque Quit is definitely going to be in the lineup, as is Toque Christmas Pudding and McChrystal’s Hops. I will occasionally have to work on holding tanks and septic systems, so I think a strong menthol may be in order as well. I may even keep a strong American scotch like Bruton’s or W.E. Garrett. What do you guys do and what do you use at work?

Couple of things. Sounds like a job where you may have your hands dirty often. I would recommend a bullet for usage in that case. Also if you are face to face with people always best to keep tissues on hand. Brown stuff all over your nose is never helpful. Ken

I always wear gloves when working, so hands will be relatively clean. I always have a handkerchief in a pocket, but won’t be dealing with customers too much.

I always bring a backpack with me to work, it has about 25 different tins of snuff in it so I can have a nice variety at work. I don’t like choosing just a few for the day.

I have a dedicated drawer in my work bench and a couple of cardboard boxes, probably 50 different snuff at hand. At home a machinist’s tool chest full of snuff sits on the table, different drawers dedicated to different genre.

I lost a snuff box at work yesterday :(( but I have plenty more where that one can from.@Pincher I go with a heavy scented snuff rather then a menthol when working around foul odors.

I work a sort of “office” job (registering patients and doing clerical stuff in an ER) but I do use snuff at work; if I’m at the front window I just step to the side for a moment to do it. I haven’t had any problems with it, most people do probably think it’s a little odd but they’re too polite to comment on it and one of them even got into doing it somewhat.

My thoughts were along the lines of hearing about coroners and morticians use a swab of menthol under their nose. But a heavily scented might do the trick just as well, with out the runny nose.

If you’re looking for a menthol to use, and will be working with septic systems, I recommend L260! Some septics though, (and I’ve done that work before), no snuff will cut through. You know about the “deadly pyramid” in the RV black tanks then, I take it?

RV installs will be a new thing for me, but I am aware of the “black pyramid”, we will be installing new equipment and upgrades, I don’t anticipate having to clean out or replace a black or grey tank, that would be in the service department.

I Run a machine in brightly lit factory for 12 hour shifts. My lunch box has more snuff in it than food. I generally stick with fine, low moisture snuffs that I know don’t cause my nose to run. I also choose snuff that is close in color to my facial hair to make it less noticeable. My best advice. Grow a beard.

Ooh a beard. I was thinking of shaving my head because of the florida humidity and heat. I’m not sure I want to add more insulation to my face.

@pincher there’s always this

I serve onboard a Submarine. Now that the nannys in DC decided to do yet another social experiment on us the smoking lamp is permanently out. I’m slowly converting the crew from dip to dry snuff. Still not sure how the Chiefs and Officers will react to sniffing snuff.

@sonarman that’s pretty interesting…what is this experiment you speak of?

Probably to see how nicotine effects soldiers and their ability to work. Did the same thing to my squadron while I served.

They banned smoking in Submarines and then allowed split tails to join shortly afterwards, albeit on the larger class of boats.
