Last few days instead of sniffing my snuff I’ve been pinching it then leaving the snuff just on my finger tip. Then barely putting my finger bellow my nose hole so the snuff is just sitting in my nose. Then wiggle the finger just a tiny bit. Of course holding my breath while doing this. Then breathing out when done and man my nose has been so much happier. And it’s been much easier to get a big nicotine buzz too. In fact I actualy almost made myself sick while doing that. Definatly how I’am going to snuff my snuff from now on.

What the hey, BoB!! You copied that from the Poschl video, I know you did!!

Pretty much. And you know what it’s a damn fine way to snuff. I get more scent less cloging and much less sneezing. One of the scare things about doing snuff like that is that even with some of the snuffs I consider coarse when I breath out a fine fine dust like powder cloud comes out.

there’s nothing better than a moist nose when you do the stuffing method you talk about. I do it with Taxi and the schmaltzlers. It’s a nice feeling to have a nose full of quality snuff packed in there, I will say.

@Bart Where is this Poschl video you speak of?

snuffnpuff…it’s in the “Poschl International Video” thread. Pretty highclass video.

found it on YouTube… but it didn’t show any snuffing techniques like mentioned from bob? Still a very cool video.

I’m working on getting this method down too. I don’t do it quite as vigorously as the fella in the videos does though! @ snuffnpuff: they don’t really explain it in the video but you see it briefly. The fella puts the snuff on his hand and then it looks like he’s rubbing the his nose in it. I didn’t understand it until I read this post, then it all made sense.

I have just tried this, at this moment, 1:04AM on a Friday morning, the 24 of June, and I must say… This whole stuffing thing… Really really works… The Nicotine hit is much stronger feeling, like much more in my head, if that makes any sense lol. And this was Hedges I tried it with… (Trying to fight off a cold ). It is an Excellent way to use snuff. I know I’m a little late on the method but whatever! 1:08 AM … Damn… If you haven’t tried just stuffing the snuff into your nose, rather than sniffing it up there… I highly suggest you try this… I might just have to follow suit and do this from now on, it seems to work much better

This brings to mind a gadget I was thinking about. Take a hypodermic needle, cut the cap and needle off leaving the plunger and tube intact. Pull the plunger to the desired amount of tobacco and pack with snuff. Insert into the nasal cavity and gently thumb press the plunger to expel the tobacco. Pinch the nostril a bit so the tobacco stays and withdraw the device. Sort of like a caulking gun crossed with a snuff bullet.

@xapken: more like a home made snus icetool.

@xapken : That is an excellent idea…

icetool? I have to look that up. That’s it. Problem is they cost $40 USD. I was thinking more like $5… only a few grams of plastic and an o-ring to make the seal. Problem I have with stuffing is I either need a bigger nostril (no way, this nose is big enough) or a smaller finger. Found them… now for the question. (jokingly) Anyone have a guess on the volumetric conversion for a snuff portion in milliliters?

Right, which is why I said home made icetool, which many folks make with a syringe. You can get one for $2 if you don’t have one in your house already (look in the kitchen drawers). The size for a nostril would be like the kind they give at veterinarians for giving pets oral meds.

shoot go to the nearest pharmacy and I’m willing to bet you could get one for free. Tell them you’re an addict Except you won’t see me in public with a syringe up my nose!

I was thinking about that too. Sort of hard to explain a hacked syringe to Mister Officer who thinks it’s paraphernalia. I’m thinking I’ll try an ice tool.

The stuffing works best with Indian White snuffs

yes it does.

I’ve tried this but doesn’t work so well with me for physical reasons, have to sniff. This thread reminded me of Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers story when Fat Freddy goes hunting with .357 magnum, shoots a turkey and cooks it for lads. After the meal Franklin says: That’s was good. What was stuffing? - Nothing, it was not empty!

I posted a good example of “stuffing” in the “I haven’t had schmalzers” thread Fairly amusing

I just stuffed my nose with Bordeaux… It’s a beautiful thing

I have started over the last few months inserting the pinch slightly past the nostril and then sniffing. Its a tiny change to make but the difference you get in the nose feel is massive. Snuffs that cause a lot of burn are tamed and you can take bigger pinches. I can only assume that the mucous mebrane at the very tip of the nose is responsible for some of the negatives in snuff taking.

Ive been stuffing White Elephant for a while

I think it’s cause the opposite reason actualy. if you stick the fingers up the nose a little it reduces air flow making it less likely for the snuff to go as far back. I’ve found stuffing is the only way for me not to end up sneezing a lot and then being unable to snuff for a while.

I also notice the scent doesn’t hit as fast but does more of a blossoming thing. I’am now a full time stuffer.

I still can’t get the “image” of how you’re inserting the snuff. Do you just drop a load of snuff in your nose and rubn it around, or…? I find that holding my pinch an inch or two from my nose and giving a sharp sniff helps from getting it into my sinuses. But I am quite interested in stuffing.

I use the nail of my pointer finger like a scoop then insert the snuff not the finger into my nose and move my finger just a little bit. Then breath out the excess snuff. Of course I hold my breath while inserting. Works wonders. Important tip wipe your nose after you’re done. The neat part is that it is fast then pinching so it’s easier to get a good nicotine level. Insert untill saited.

So, basically any means to “stuff” the snuff into your nose is the “proper” way to do it? I’ve been taking a pinch, putting my fingers up to my nose like sniffing and then pushing it off of my thumb with my forefinger. And then I just breathe normally.

What ever works is the way to do it. The more ways you know about the easier it is to find the method your nose likes the best.

@TaylorD : I do the same method as well for stuffing, and it works for me man! Just stuff it in there, stick it to the walls of your nose!

Hey, Mike. Since you seem to be an avid youtubber, seems like it may be a wise idea to include the technique in a review, or perhapse create a “How-to” video for the newbies? Just a quick lightbulb thought! :}

I have a few videos that I want to do now . Just gotta find the time to do them! But that is an excellent idea… I will add that to the list! 1. Outdoor Snuff Review with Hedges 2. Re-Review of an F&T 3. How to stuff your nose! featuring Zwiefacher

i have been a fan of the stuff with scmaltzler for a while. You can really stuff alot of scmaltz up there if you take big pinches and keep workin at it.

I prefer sniffing but stuffing is nice on occasion

I would imagine a schmalzler would stuff quite nicely

I doubt if I will ever even try stuffing. It seems as if you guys are serious enough about it so I won’t knock it either.

@MikeMoose Do a vid of you STUFFING! LOL That would be great!

I definitely will . I got a few I need to do!

@mikemoose Make sure the camera is aimed RIGHT UP YOUR NOSE

I just might

I’ve been doing more experiments with stuffing. I have to say that the process, although a bit clunky, seems to consistently produce reasonable results. I started with natural bulk tobacco that has a light casing. Still at full moisture, I minced it with a food processor taking it down small bits but more coarse than what would normally be considered a grind. A pinch between the finger and tip of the thumb is held to a nostril, the finger releases grip leaving the tobacco on the thumb, and the tobacco inserted into the nostril with a brief press of the outside of the nostril with the pointer finger so the inside of the nostril makes contact with the tobacco as the thumb withdraws. There was no feeling of needing to sneeze. There was no tobacco hit to the sinuses or back of the throat. The fragrance bloom was very noticeable within seconds, the nicotine hit was evident but rather mild, and there was no burning sensation at all. I wouldn’t think it would work well with a bone dry snuff. The moisture seems to keep it under control and workable.

Agreed, Xapken has put into words the excellence of stuffing… Still, to each their own, but good stuff Xap!

Question for xapken: Would you use the same amount of snuff as for say the pinch-and-sniff method? Or just enough to coat your nostril? I sniff about a pea size up each nostril, but that seems to be a “waste” when stuffing?

Oh sheesh. Stuffing isn’t a big deal. It’s just another way of getting the snuff in your nose! If you do a pea-size pinch normally, then when you stuff you’ll need the same amount. Just because you’re “stuffing” doesn’t mean you need to do less. Just a different delivery system. Think about it- stuffing is for those that can’t get their method of sniffing down, or use snuffs that easilly fall out of the nose. Whether or not you sniff it into your nose or push it in your nose, you’re still gonna get the same effect as long as you do it right. Now different SNUFFS might give you different effects. Such as High Dry Toast- most do a bit less of that because it’s very fine and the greater surface area leads to better dispersion of nicotine whereas Black Rappee is usually taken in heaping portions because it’s more coarse and your body doesn’t absorb all of the nic as easily. But if you’re stuffing HDT or pinching HDT and wondering the difference- there won’t be one. Take the same amount. I prefer traditional pinching or using a spoon. If I’m driving or something I’ll use my tripletech box to do the ‘back of hand’ method.

@TaylorD I agree with transistor. Much depends on the type of snuff. Also, larger portions don’t necessarily mean more irritation. I’ve seen several posters who describe larger portions working better. On the other side, those pictures from the stuffing contest strike me as a bit silly. The one guy has a nostril packed tight as a cigar. To me that’s a bit excessive. If he’d sneeze, he’d speckle a 20 meter radius with bits of snotty tobacco… ewww.

@xapken yeah those pix are hilarious! I had a good laugh at those. I guess the goal was to see who could put the most of a 5g box into their nose without sneezing… kinda gross. I enjoyed the look on their faces though

Hey I just figured something out. I couldn’t figure out how you guys were stuffing. So instead, I take a pinch, stick the pinch in my nostril and tilt my head back. It takes a few pinches to figure how far to bend your head back, but it was easier for me.

Oh P.S. you have to let go of your pinch when you tilt your head back.

@jazzi_mike *grin*

@jazzi_mike : I have also done that, except I tilted my head to the side as well . It works!

The only snuff I use this method for is for my Bruton Scotch snuff, simply because it has a huge tendency to fly way back into my sinuses and burn. I just pinch some snuff rub it a little between my thumb and index finger and then insert finger and thumb into nose. I find this suitable for me as I’m still a beginner. Also using this method I find that if I pinch my nose and then inhale after a few moments that I get extra “hits” of snuff that have come loose in the nose…hope that makes sense.

Stuffing with Zwiefacher ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fWJRu0C7fs Tell me what you think.

My favorite part of this whole thing was when you said “can’t waste the Zwiefacher, it’s magical!”

LOL. It is magical ! And it’s almost gone…
