I’ve been snuffing for a solid month. I’m getting pretty good at it. I’m finally getting pinching down. I have no problem with Toque or some of the easier snuffs. I’m at odds with my scotches/more finely ground snuffs. When I try to pinch a scotch, none of it goes in my nose. I’ve been using a spoon and that’s hit or miss. Should I keep trying to pinch scotches or keep using my spoon?
try using ur spoon and put a bit on the back of ur hand…this for me is my favorite way besides using the pinch. matter of fact ive been using this technique with conwoods peach all day.
You could always take a look at my Technique video on YouTube. I show about 4 examples of how to get your snuff into you. With pinching, I usually bring it directly under my nostril, sometimes even touching the nostril, especially if it is more fine. Watch my video, maybe it’ll help

@MikeMoose Great video! You look kind of stoned toward the end, though. 
LOL, maybe I was 
. I honestly cant remember … Lols! xD
Nice video, hopefully you gave the smackdown to your roommates for buggin’ you. Heh…when I first started, I was doing lines because I didn’t know any better…then I was a thumb/hand guy and over the last year switched to the pinch…much better control.
Ahah, nah . I’ve known them for a long long time… They’re like brothers. Yes the pinch is quite nice, although I do prefer the spoon sometimes. Sniffing lines… Don’t do that very often at all. But it packs quite the punch sometimes .
Try a bullet. Seriously.
I’ll look into buying one sometime . A vial works just fine for me though, I like to tap it out on the back of my hand and have a sniff
I have to agree that pinching offers the best control, regardless of type of snuff. With scotches or any extremely fine grind, it just takes longer to develop the right technique (and I’m still working on it). The only downside with pinching I can see is that I invariably end up with little patches of snuff on my clothes, desk, etc. Can’t seem to find a way to pinch neatly. Perhaps I just need more practice.
With the finer grind I find it easier to use a spoon, or more acurately the end of the handle. I find it hard to pinch with a fine grind, I usually drop most of it, but thats probably just me being crap! With some quite fine snuffs such as some Toque or WoS, I tend to pinch, then turn my hand so my thumb is nail side down, then let go with my finger, so I have a little pile on the end of my thumb that I can hold right under my nose (I hope that makes sense…) I think its best to find out what works best for you, but also practice for about 80 years till you perfect it.
In the past I’ve snuffed everything off the back of my hand. Since watchin the Moose man’s vid i have started using the pinch with my drier finer grinds. Surprisingly it really does make a difference! Big Upz on the videos MikeMoose…and may i say, you have quite the face for radio! : ) JK, i actually find them very entertaining as well as informative…keep em coming. I think i just stole PP’s mantra…lol!
Aw shucks . Thanks again FischTix! I just gotta make another order sometime! I’ve pretty much reviewed all the snuff I have… I know, sadness right? But i’ll definitely keep 'em coming. I got 2 mixer videos I’ll upload, as soon as I get back from work!
@MikeMoose “no more of that” by far my favorite line…not to mention the reaction after your first sniff!!!
I’m glad you enjoy! I was just being honest, I couldn’t do anymore of it. But we all vary in taste… I am looking forward to ordering Morocco, Bureau, and Patchouli… It’ll finish the F&T collection! 
Patchouli intriques me…i love the smell of the oil and incense!! wonder what it’ll be like in the schnozz?!
I use an organic bath soap that is scented with Patchouli oil and its great. And Nooo I’m no hippy, it doesn’t smell like that god awful stuff those people dump on themselves. Oh and regarding the threads topic, I always use the pinch method. Once I put Hedges L260 in a snuff bullet and after one sniff I thought I was gonna die, it went right into my frontal lobe! I literally crawled around on the ground for a few minutes till the pain subsided. That was the last time I used a bullet.
hahaha…sorry, severe adhd tends ta make me stray ot quite often! ; )
