I just got my order from Mr. Snuff. I’ve recently gotten into Fribourg & Treyer, so I decided to buy a new snuff spoon. This is awesome. It’s probably 5 or 6 inches long (10-15 cm). Plus the actual spoon is a little bigger and flatter than the usual snuff spoon. Plus it’s really only a few bucks more than the tiny ones from ebay. I usually pinch and have found other spoons to be cumbersome/messy. This spoon is the best. I can only think that not enough people have made this community aware of the clear awesomeness of this particular snuff spoon for it not to be more well known.
For snuffs that come in deep, narrow tins such as the Fribourg & Treyer range, spoons are pretty handy to get to the snuff after it’s gone below the halfway mark, and when you’re using moist and coarse snuffs like German Schmaltlzers it’s a lot less messy to use the spoon and either snuff directly from it or tip some onto the back of your hand. I think the use of a spoon might have been a way of distinguishing upper class snuffers from lower class snuffers originally.
My Mr. Snuff order came with the complimentary spoon. I didnt see it in the package so I thought I was ripped off… which I didnt really care. But then I saw it taped to the invoice. This spoon is hilarious! If I ever offer any snuff to anyone I will force them to use that spoon. Its the only way to do it “authentically”. Awesome!
Struggled to find mine at first too. My first attempt with a spoon was also my first attempt at a White, incredibly silly idea! bam! Brain full of cheetah!
I lost my free mr. snuff spoon before I even used it. Found it on the floor a couple of weeks later and have attached a bent paper clip to it so I don’t lose it again. Might have to get the bigger spoon next time I order. Don’t normally snuff from the spoon but pinch from it since I don’t really like the idea of sticking my fingers in the tin and every time I take it from the spoon it just hurts like hell.
Love spoons, gets it right up there without making a mess, Like a precision operating instrument. Great for loading my snuff boxes. And a lot safer then a Bowie knife. No bad method for snuff ,I pinch, back of hand,off the thumb nail.
There was a time I used a rolled up dollar, I even seen little vacuum cleaner shaped snorter. Those free Mr.snuff little spoons are awesome; hang them on the holiday tree or make ear rings for your gal.
I didn’t even try to use the free gift spoon. I was actually a bit irritated when I got that because I specifically did not buy a real snuff spoon because I thought that I was going to get one for free a few orders ago.
Idk. I typically do not use a snuff spoon, but some snuffs are difficult to pinch due to the container or due to the consistency. The other snuff spoon I have was so messy that it didn’t help much.
But this spoon is shaped like a dental tool or something. It makes it much easier to use.
Yeah. I used to use the opposite sides of whatever silverware was closest by on snuffs that I could not pinch. But I needed something that could reach down into snuff containers.
@johnnyfriday : same here actually (for both unfortunately), but I use the spoons from “Lunchables” that my kid eats, the little red spoon. The spoon’s good for filling up my snuff bottle and the back it good for bumps straight from the container, and since it’s for small hands, it’s more stable to grip, which is good for someone like me who doesn’t have the steadiest of hands.
