Clean fingers only please…then take as much as you want.
Wouldn’t bother me in the slightest. We developed immunities for a reason, it’s good to keep the old system up to date anyway.

In the past, such things didn´t matter. Look at the party right at the end of this video. By the way, the shop shown in the video was Fribourg & Treyer´s one (34 Haymarket, London). Wish we could be there…
Snuff being sold by weight. I thought it is possible only in heaven.
Oh my gods, that video is awesome. The cheesy sixties documentary music alone sends me back to my grade school years watching those educational videos. And agreed on that tobacconist’s shop. If I had one like that, with that variety of tobaccos (including bulk snuff!), I don’t think I’d ever leave. They’d offer me a job, just to get me to leave once in a while…

Great video! Thank you.
why worry? I let strangers pinch my snuff. I’ve kissed strange woman before so why become up tight now?
I used to play in the mud as a kid …
I still do

@Bob, when it comes to these hygiene issues, I’ve always noticed that it always seems to go out the window when it comes to that kind of interaction. The same guy who goes eeeewww, yuck about the thought of a bit of human saliva in his snuff box might well be trying to stick his tongue down the throat of a woman he’s just met. I don’t get it.
So do all you people that won’t let others put their fingers in your snuffboxes pick up money with rubber gloves and haz-mat suits? Do you have any idea how dirty and disgusting money is, your worried about where one persons hands have been well countless hands have been all over that money in your pocket. Honestly what’s the worst that can happen? Are you guys scared you’ll get nose herpes or some shit because someone put their fingers in your snuffbox?
Do you also pull out a biohazard bag, medical gloves and a pair of tweezers when you pay for something at the store?
… Are you guys scared you’ll get nose herpes … because someone put their fingers in your snuffbox?
Yes I am. Letting someone pinch from your snuff box, might as well let them pick your nose for you too!
Hey, if she’s cute…
snuff has intense antiseptic qualities.
So you have germaphobic tendencies because… your grandma ate dirt and lived to be over 90? I seem to be missing your point here
I don’t think you know what a peck is, the phrase “you have to eat a peck of dirt before you die” is another way of saying a little dirt isn’t going to hurt you, maybe you should think a little harder about what was going through your head when you attempted to use this to defend your germaphobia
Just in case you were wondering… From Wikipedia: A peck is an imperial and United States customary unit of dry volume, equivalent to 2 gallons or 8 dry quarts or 16 dry pints. Two pecks make a kenning (obsolete), and four pecks make a bushel. Although it is not frequently used in the present day, produce such as apples are still commonly sold by the peck. In other words, quite a lot…
Gentlemen I just asked because I was curious. Some say yay and some say nay. I don’t see a reason to start anything over it.

@lunecat sorry my bad, I just looked up that phrase on google and its nonsense, I thought you were saying something very different
