I’m curious as to how some of you handle the situation of snuff taking in public, especially at work. I tend to do it at my desk and also in some of the very long (all day), boring meetings I have to attend. There are quite a few raised eyebrows since, well I don’t have to spell out what at least most Americans think I am doing. I should also note that I make my own cigarettes from a custom blend of my own (Turkish with quite a big hint of Perique) but it never fails that when someone finds out I make my own, they immediately assume there is something other than tobacco in them. Any others out there have the same experiences?
For me nothing is more fun then while proccessing an arrestee for narcotics getting to watch his face as I take big heaping sniffs off of my hand. I work plain clothes and often times the homies on the street call us “Narcos”. Obviously these guys watch too much TV and actually believe that since we are “Narcos” we get to use the product. After I get my laugh, I often attempt to explain to these fellas what excactly it is I’m sniffing. And being the sweet hearted guy that I am, I’ve shared many a pinch with these misguided souls.
I take snuff just about anywhere except while in meetings at work. Kinda feel like that would be pushing my luck a bit.
I take snuff wherever except if i’m meeting with a client, (that sounds dodgy, I’m not a rentboy lol). I also roll my own. Maybe its something about the eastern side of the pond, but there’s nothing unusual about rolling your own over here.
I am a union sheet metal worker and I work in a shop 8 hours a day. my foreman and co-workers are pretty used to it by now. Most of my family is too. I generally try not to make it too obvious, but I don’t go out of my way to hide it unless there are kids around.
Hey Poo Diddy, Im a cop as well and it is certainly fun to take it in a police setting. Like you, Ive done a lot of plain clothes work in the drugs/vice world. I love taking in front of other cops and watching the wheels go round in their heads, like ‘Is he treally doing what I think he’s doing’ !! Ive never been challenged in nearly 20 years so quite clearly I could do some lines of C at work with nothing more than raised eyebrows!
It is a great job snuffster, like you the fellas at work all thought I was a bit whacked in the head when they first saw me partaking, but most of them now ask me for a pinch every now and then themselves. They all seem particularly fond of the Red-Bull and the way it opens them up.
Like I’ve said before on the forum, I always keep my head up and snuff proud. By doing that, I hardly ever get any type of negative reaction. I never feel embarrassed or ashamed of my habit. I never have to attend meetings or conferences, but I would imagine I would use discretion depending on the crowd. Of course there are times to use discretion where you don’t want to force people to feel uncomfortable or disgusted. For example your at a meeting/conference or restaurant with a group of people or something. I would have respect for them and not take a big snuff right at the table without at least asking them first if they cared. Just as I would hope they won’t sit there picking their nose or lighting up a cigarette without at least asking if I cared.
I like offering snuff when I feel nervous about taking it. Like offering it the head guy in a meeting might help move you up through the ladder.

@snufster-I can actually hear your british accent in the way you write. It’s very brilliant.
Why thank you, old chap!
Talking about british accent, I just remembered a story from our school. An old aristocratic family returned from emigration to Czech Republic and their daughter attends to our school. I heard her once saying: “I got 5 (it’s the worst mark here; like your F) in test 'cause I used american english instead of british…” She was brought up in Canada and american (canadian) english is her mother tongue. And yes, the teacher is crazy silly woman.

I’ve had real bad luck with an automatic box. The first one I had lasted about 15-20 clicks. Then I got a replacement that only worked when the box was open or you pushed the button down real hard with a pencil or something rigid. I took my bad luck with them as a sign to just stick with a pinch or bullet. But they would be good for someone who is a little timid with their habit in public.

Hello kckunz, That box your asking about is the one that Satyr bought. He posted a review along with photos. You can see it HERE EBAY has a great selection of snuff boxes. Also here are some links for some nice boxes. Wood Snuff Boxes Wood Snuff Boxes 2 Pewter Snuff Boxes Onefortheroad’s Snuff Boxes
More snuff boxes here too!
Yeah sorry NoseBag, I meant to add yours to that list but while making the list I got sidetracked on another window I had opened and forgot to add it.
I have no problem taking snuff in pubblic, as it can appear somehow odd, it’s perfecly legal, and much more acceptable then lightning a cigarette, and I love the funny faces of those ones that watch at me snuffing!
