Never rub your eye with the hand you use to pinch. Never fill a snuff box in front of a fan someone else may turn on. The snuff you run out of is back ordered everywhere. Please add your wisdom to the list.

Gravity always wins…

Dark nostril caves can be disconcerting to others.

Close your eyes while blowing your nose.

Never pick old snuff out of your nose while your mouth is open.

ALWAYS cover your nose, prefferably with a hankie or paper towel, when sneezing (unless you sneeze through your mouth) because “snuff snot” will go everywhere. Tissues will usually break if you sneeze into them.

Be sure your handkerchief is big enough and is properly unfolded, it is not good to end up with a brown-sprayed shirt in the office…

Nose is bottomless. If you think that it’s enough snuff for one time pinch, you must put some more snuff on your hand. Never go piss unless your hands are PERFECTLY clear. Try to avoid white clothes. They will be white no more. Never open WoS tins with strenght…

A snuff bullet only dismantles itself in your pocket when its full

Wow. I’ve learned a ton since I began snuff. Its hard to boil it down to a few catchphrases. Lets see, at least one I can come up with is not to underestimate snuff, since no single manufacturer makes everything I would define as snuff. (I guess that’s rephrased newbie advice though: try lots from different makers). Surely there is at least one snuff that will cover your needs.

Don’t give up on a snuff if you don’t like it at first. Jar it up and hold on to it for a while. Tastes change and you might end up liking it in the future.

Big pinches. After 2 years using a spoon, big pinches radically improved my experience. Also much less irritation. Counterintuitive, I know. Just be brave and do it! For big pinches, use your middle finger. I can’t get big enough pinches with my forefinger. Maybe because I don’t have big manly hands. Also take your time when slowly inhaling. There’s no rush. You want the snuff at the front of your nose not the back, although this is unavoidable with very fine snuffs. After taking a pinch, continue slowly inhaling to reduce/prevent snuff falling from your nose, although this is unavoidable with coarse snuffs, I find pinching your nostrils together for a couple of seconds after the pinch helps reduce nostril fall out. Avoid tissues. Use cloth hankies. Whenever I use tissues to blow my nose, I blow a whole right through the tissue and get snuff snot all over my hands. Even big pinches are often not enough. Sometimes I take 2 or three big pinches in succession. This is how I can easily go through 3 x 5g smash boxes in a day, even with toasts, scotches and whites. Start the day with a few big pinches of your favourite menthol. Let the menthol fade, then your nose is ready for whatever snuff you fancy next without coughing. If coughing is a problem for you, get in the habit of drinking milky drinks like British tea or coffee. Milk lines your throat and prevents snuff irritation. With some snuffs, you’ll always get some in your throat, so you need to learn to deal with this. Milk and beer work great. Just my opinion, no offence to fans, but bullets and snuff spoons are a waste of time. Again, learn to take big pinches. Hugely more rewarding. Stay the hell away from English snuffs in tap boxes! Never give up on a snuff until you’ve had it years and are well and truly convinced it is not for you. Like your oral palette, your nasal palette will evolve and snuffs you initially hated will become favourites in the future. I didn’t much like SPs at first. Love them now. This is my opinion which not everyone shares but a lot of longtermers do, is bulk. As a newbie you’ll want to try everything. This of course is great! This honeymoon period can last years. 3 for me. I bought 100s of tins in those 3 years. Wasted a lot of stuff to staleness. Not all snuffs rehydrate well. Eg many Toques don’t. But after the honeymoon period passes, you should have a pretty good idea of your favourites. Learn how to store bulk in proper airtight glass containers and buy in 400g+ and the snuff will stay fresh for years and years and years. Decant from bulk to smaller airtight glass jars, eg 50-100g jars so you minimise opening your big bulks as infrequently as possible. Once you go bulk, apart from trying new snuffs in tins, you’ll never go back. About rehydration, always use pure water available at motor supply shops. Never use tap water, it ruins snuff. Snuff with pride. Sod what others think!

Use scissors to trim nose hairs, never pluck, as snuff will irritate the fresh plucked pores(?) and cause discomfort. Lol I actually sometimes think snuff is a nasal hair food.

lol. Not a criticism so please dont take offence. I’ve been plucking nasal hairs for years. I get a twisted enjoyment from the eye watering pain. :">

After a morning of snuffing always check in the mirror to be sure you don’t resemble a pig who had been digging Truffles, especially if you use the black moister snuffs.

As others have said before, one of the most important things is never totally give up on a snuff. So many times I would try a snuff from my Mr. Snuff order and not care for it then it would get thrown in a baggie and to the bottom of the snuff drawer. Then months later I would try it again and I cannot believe that it is the same snuff. Even the worst of snuffs can be redeemed through the mixing process also.

Don’t use your white handkerchiefs… Get some big, colored bandanas instead!

Pre-wash your bandanas before you put them into the laundry.

that snuff really is a miracle and that cigarettes are not tobacco.

snuff is a great conversation starter.

What I’ve learnt is that snuff is a very broad subject.

Check the pockets before putting your trousers in a washing machine. No kidding this happened for the 1st time today for me. Silly boy!

I Feel your pain. I recently lost a tin of Lime Toast to the washing machine,

That is a true horror story!!! Ken

Some tins get harder to open the longer you have them in your pocket.

Looks like my Almond Toast tin haha.

You must be careful when discussing your love of snuff with the uninformed. No I’m not into murder films.

Tobacco is even greater than I imagined

must use bleach and prespotter on T shirts now… :O)

When trying new snuff in company, make sure you have aside enough clear space to sneeze…

If you are on a date and have to snuff, use a menthol - even if you are not particularly fond of it yourself. It’s too easy to forget that once you’ve taken a load of snuff, others can smell it around you. That said if you want to get rid of your date, there are a few snuffs I could name which could easily put him/her off :x

i was just about to order some too …

There is no such thing as acquiring too many snuffs in my opinion

Never tell how good a snuff is because when you do @basement_shamen Mr Snuff dries up !

It’s always good to have a tin of ozona president or a cell phone with a reversible camera with you so you always know if you have missed a spot with your hanky. I always surprise myself as to where I smear snuff all over my face.

There’s never enough money to order all the snuffs you want to try.

…Don’t make snuff with mouldy tobacco…

That fag smoking is a mug’s game and I was that mug for 20 years. Seriously though, why didn’t the snuff makers bother to promote/advertise their products when they were allowed to?

@hoffwell, I think J&H Wilson tried when it was legal. You can find some paraphernalia of their attempts pretty often on ebay. Then they got bought out by Imperial Tobacco which probably makes .000000001% of its profit on snuff, and could not be bothered with marketing it. Cigs are money for them. Snuff co. ownership is just competition eliminated. The remaining UK companies are all really small (probably less than 12 full time employees each) and have no budget for marketing. We do our part here, voluntarily, but we are only a child of the internet age, so not that old historically. (Side note: not sure on German laws, but our founder was German, and probably asked a similar question when he founded this site. I think there are a couple of snuffs readily available everywhere there if you ask. The rest, you have to go to the internet to find.)

I’ve learned that my wife is extremely tolerable woman.

If you are filling a snuff bullet and snuff gets on the threads , just cap it!! Do not try to sniff it when the bullet is already full. Dont tap snuff on the back of your thumb while in your car , and have the air conditioner on .

It’s always a good idea to take a quick look in the mirror after ‘imbibing’…just to make sure you don’t have too much of that brown noser look…

That’s worse for the guy stopped at the red light in front of you… and your insurance premiums… Then You Have to explain it to the cops, well officer I was blinded by my nose candy… They really ought to rename it to toque cola instead of coke lol.

That it took a good while (A good few months for me), before my brain started associating nasally ingested nicotine with the need for a smoke. Perseverance is the key! I don’t think I’ll ever stop smoking completely simply because it’s one of the last things in life that I actually enjoy, but 15 roll-ups a day or less has to be better than 40-50 hey?

1. That what works for one does not work for all 2) My slitty nostrils mean the pinch beats all other methods (See Note 1) 3) Fine snuffs do not work in my face (See note 2) 4) Tap boxes suck! (See Notes 1 & 2) 5) Plastic flip top snuff boxes (the Roccoco ones) are superb!!! 6) Using COLOURED flip top plastic snuff boxes rocks! (Red=fruit/dessert, yellow=SP/plain, blue=floral, green=menthol/mint) 7) If a snuff is too fine but a nice flavour, either mix with coarse plain and leave to stew, or take a good nose full of coarse plain first to act as a filter 8) Dropping your open pocket snuffbox hurts your pride more than your wallet 9) Dropping your open pocket snuffbox makes a hell of a mess even if nearly empty 10) ALWAYS carry more than one snuff (See Notes 8 & 9) 11) There are some things the English are still superb at 12) Sometimes weather conditions are better suited to smoking than snuffing 13) Nobody tells you when you’re wearing snuff - but they will tell other people 14) Roderick and Johnny are wonderful people to deal with 15) Do what you enjoy, and enjoy what you do :)>-

If you feel a sneeze; it’s already too late.Wear dark brown shirts just in case!

Offering snuff to newbies (current smokers) then watching them have a 3 minute sneezing fit is hilarious!

Snuff isn’t cocaine: sniff gently, don’t snort!

Cigarettes are an addiction, cigars are a hobby, pipes are a religion, snuff is a revelation

If you cough a cloud of snuff-dust in your eyes your eyesight will become noticeably clearer for a couple of hours.

Menthol snuffs are my kryptonite!

More like noticeably burny and watery

Snuff is an important part of a great day, DON’T LEAVE HOME WITH OUT IT!

drinking beer and snuffing is about 7/8 as good as drinking beer and smoking

I don’t get many colds as I use to do before I started to snuff.

Never again post; what my all time favorite snuff is on snuffhouse.

Sorry, I missed that first time round. What was it again?

He’s not saying. XD

What is his favorite snuff?

Snuff is the proof that god loves us. [-O<

OK. but it’s really beer

@jpsavage - whatever! %-(

“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” ― Benjamin Franklin Maybe he used snuff too.

That the UK charges anything from £96.64 to £219.82 tobacco duty per KG on all tobacco products apart from Snuff where the charge is £0 yay

EVERYBODY wants to try it !

Never be afraid to experiment and always be up for trying something new and different. I’m glad I made the leap from silver dollar to some of the other brands.

For a returning snuff taker I have a few quips: Explaining the difference between this snuff and ‘American Snuff’ isn’t as easy as I would have thought, that upon taking up snuff the wife will notice the aroma first and ask questions later, the excitement of walking into my local tobacco ship is ne excitement once had waiting for a first kiss, the once speedy international mail delivery seems to be taking forever waiting for my first order from Toque, and perhaps the one that should have led the pack- while I enjoy my cigars very much I appreciate the simplicity of taking a snuff.

Check your nose before answering the door…

Tobacco Nicotiana rustica is an entheogen

@50ft_trad “oh my god… my head… what the…”

Remember that strong smelling snuff you just took? Its not just you that can smell it

According to my wife, cigarettes and alcohol are BAD…but…snuff is acceptable. PERFECT!

I use to feel like white trash because of my snuff habit, but the most important thing I’ve learned since I started sniffing the snuff is, only great people use and make snuff and if you look at all the people here on this forum it proofs my statement, it feels good to be a part of this tobacco stained nose community. 8-}

Other family members’ opinions of snuff change after you offer them a pinch. I don’t offer them a pinch just to have a laugh at the ensuing sneezing fit, honest your honour…

You can never have too much snuff or too many snuff “toys”.

One way of turning others on to snuff is to wait until they have a cold and a bit of a blocked up nose - first hand them the snuff - then hand them a couple of tissues - then gloat as you say to them, ‘there you go, you’re breathing through your nose again…maybe just take this instead of squirting that bottle of chemicals up your snout’.

Always clean nostrils very well before take snuff. It keeps my twin-turbo nostrils high performance… Clear nostrils boost snuff pleasure, Guarantee!

I’ve learned that snuff makes nose and ear hair grow faster. At least I’m blaming the snuff.

I really look good dressed entirely in black… It’s all I wear these days!

I’m a monastic aspirant… Does that mean I wear my theology?

Bulk is the way to go. The quality improvement makes me wonder if I’ll buy tins that often anymore. After buying 200 grms of super Kalish and it’s just way better then the tin and not just fresher. It’s almost like it’s more snuffy somehow.

That when you stop, it’s like the fags, it kicks ass when you start again!

That if you’ve given up the stinkies to vape, snuff kicks ass!
