Hey guys, Ive been using snuff for about 6 months now and im having trouble taking a pinch any bigger then an apple seed. It doesnt seem to matter how i take it, how gently I sniff but any decent suzed pinch always goes to far into my sinuses. Any tips?
Shove it in , or shovel it in. Dump a huge amount on your left thumb , and raise it to your face as if you were to pinch your nose.Make sure you position your thumb such that the snuff ends up in your nose , then proceed to actually pinch your nose so that the snuff sticks to the inside. Done/
Eventually I started craving the sinus hit. There is just something about feeling like my scalp is on fire that I enjoyed.
Now it takes a small shovel full before I feel it.
I remember slapping my desk and my eyes watering from the pain when I first started. I avoided like the plague, but then it seemed to become a welcomed part of the experience.
I’m a sicko.
@Dogwalla i agree totally. I did lines of Super Chetak all day. I find the coarser snuffs to be a bit uncomfortable in my sinuses, but a fine is fine. In all fairness, a medium pinch actually works out to be a fairly long line.
Edit: I would not however recomend this to a new snuffer. Like @Dogwalla wrote, snuff to the brain is unpleasent and unorthadox, but to each there own.
My advice would be to take one pinch per nostril.
Thanks guys, I found a snff spoon in my grandads house today and asked him if I could use it, of course he gave it to me. He was amused that I am using snuff, he said it brought back many memories. I’ve found the spoon helps allot, I can take a good double pea sized snuff per nostril that way and really feel the burn!
whats the spoon look like. We need pics. Spoons are awesome.
It’s a rather big snuff spoon, fits easy a heap of snuff the size of two peas on it. It’s a fairly plain looking silver spoon.
Its all down to placing the pinch just inside the nostril, so as to make it bulge slightly, and inhaling quickly but gently. Persevere with the larger pinch - about the size of a pea or baked been. It is one of this things that has to be done just right. Obviously, this is not the case for scotch or very fine snuff where you have to be a lot more respectful of it.
The other thing you can do - blindingly obviously I guess - is to take single pinches for each nostril. I have hardly ever done this but just over the last couple of weeks I’ve got into it, the advantage is that you don’t need to co-ordinate the release of approximately half the snuff in the first nostril etc. A mega pinch of about the size of two baked beans or peas, or any legume I suppose :)), really does hit the spot - literally - when your nicotine starved brain needs a boost of Vitamin N/alkaloid goodness.
