I’m intrigued to know what is considered ‘light’, ‘moderate’ or ‘heavy’ snuff use. I will often take 20-25 pinches of snuff in a day, but I’ll sometimes go for an entire day without a single pinch, and sometimes graze on it all day. I don’t have a particularly addictive personality, and can pick things up and put them down at will, to some degree. At a guess, I’d put myself in the ‘moderate’ category, as I’m not noshing 10g a day, but also not having a pinch a fortnight. Am I somewhere near the ballpark on this?
I personally don’t think there is any way to classify snuff use unless you go to the extremes. As far as the snuff manufacturers go, people will probably always be considered light snuff users. Mileage varies.
I don’t think I will ever reach the 10gram a day level that I know some are at, but I also enjoy a pipe in the man cave in the evening. I would say you are probably in the mod range.
that is light use.
10 grams a day is somewhere between moderate and light. Moderate is how much I snuff by the way so it’s diffrent per day.
lol @bob I dunno about anyone else but I sniff snuff whenever I want. Which is usually all the time. I can’t think of a time lately where I haven’t had any snuff in my nose to be honest. I’m constantly taking some. Which is freakin’ awesome I might add 
I think it varies with which snuff you’re using. I can easily snuff over 10g per day of O&G, or Wilson’s Raspberry for example, but with other snuffs might only snuff 5-6g per day.
10g a day is about right for me. When I started snuffing a 25g tin would last a month. Now it’s a weekend.
So, Bob said that 10 grams a day is moderate to light, then I must be uber super ultra featherweight. My 10g box of Poschl’s Apricot Snuff still has about 4 grams left in it and I have been pinching from it for 7 days, now I laid it down for the past two days since I got two more blends. I usually put a slightly bigger lump of snuff near me as I work, usually after meals. I was getting worried that I’m starting to use to much because I really love this thing.
@Erg0lite: The only time you’re taking too much snuff is when you go to take a pinch and can’t fit any more in.
there is great line on the pohscl website that basically says it is not the size of pinch but the enjoyment that matters.
@bob Yes, I agree with that. @shikitohno Hahaha, that’s funny, and I assume, true. I’m still a bit shy towards quantity and stuff like that because I don’t want to do something stupid, or overdo it and realize I harmed myself or anything like that. So with me it still may be just the fear of the unknown, I’ve got less than two weeks of snuffing so I guess I’ll still be clueless for a while.
You would pass out or be sick before you harmed yourself buddy I just use a pea size per nostril so 2 pea size pinches per snuff session … That’s what most here do ?? !!!
Before quitting cigars in 1995 intake was around two or perhaps three grams each day. Even before starting to smoke it probably wasn’t more than four grams. I now take approximately eight grams of coarse snuff daily with perhaps a gram or two of fin thrown in for good measure. A rare acquisition of a 25 gram tin certainly doesn’t last three days. Consider myself a fairly heavy user of snuff bought by the pound.
