When I take a pinch of snuff outside on my terrace IMHO the intensity of the flavour is much bigger than when I am sniffing indoors. So I am mainly sniffing in the spring or in the summer. Has anyone else made similar experiences? Do you have a “snuff season”?
My snuff season is EVERY season lol. But in all honesty, I love snuffing in the late fall and winter, something about that chilling air just seems to enhance the flavor.
I don’t leave the house Any season.
I have 7 snuff seasons, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday… Seriously, I live in a tropical climate so we really only have 2 seasons, Spring and Summer.
I snuff all year round, inside and outdoors, and yes, the scent of a snuff does become more pronounced when outdoors, especially if the air is cold. I find that a menthol snuff in the summer is quite cooling.
My season usually starts early January and ends very late December.
I snuff pretty much the same amount year round, but I tend to use other snuffs depending on the season, lots of Schmalzlers in the winter. Don’t care much for menthol ones anymore.
I snuff more in winter both in quantity and variety.
we have two seasons where I live: winter, and CONSTRUCTION! (and I’ve really only been snuffing since roughly the beginning of winter and with a huge break early on in it, so its too soon for me to tell)
wow whistlrr, those are the exact 2 seasons we have here. Do you live in Utah? lol
@snuff_n00b lol nope, but from what I understand (though I’ve never actually been anywhere near there) I get the idea it really is similar weather-wise (Michigan here). Wanna know the state that really scares me the most to think about visiting? (Might surprise you). I consider people who live in places like we do to be kinda just naturaly slightly more rugged and tough (having a little extra character and fortitide etc) for withstanding our mutual weather extremes etc Florida Yes. Seriously. People who live in Florida must be a bit tougher than we might think Not only do they have hurricanes (many states it seems are in harms way with that) but in Florida they also have alligators big enough to eat people, they also have snakes large enough to eat a full grown human (saw a story on florida’s runaway giant constrictor snakes just last night on the history channel), and they have (and this bothers me more than the idea of man-eating gators and snakes) emormous flying cockroaches that can stand around on the ceiling and ceiling fans and jump down and land on you (these are called Palmetto bugs) I never want to see something walkign in a suburb that can eat me (I don’t know why idea this scares me more than our UP’s bears but it does) and I absolutely never want to see big flying cockcoaches. That’s just a little too tough for me, I’ll stick where its so extreme that hardly anything that’s not man-assisted can live out there (we don’t even actually have wolverines, most o us have never seen one, have no iea what one is, and we’re the “Wolverine State”) I don’t understand why our (MIchigander) seniors want to go there so much (I they must be out of their minds) but they do go there so much that I have seen a Michigan license plate on one of their cars that literally reads, “CUinFL”
Palmetto Bugs are an ugly, yet very beneficial species down here. And, they are not quite as invasive as roaches. As for the snakes, this has been over-blown by the media. If you watch the news, they will have you thinking that there are Burmese Pythons slithering around in every backyard. Yes, due to the poor decision of some people, we do have an issue with Burmese Pythons in the Everglades, but with new regulations on the purchase and possession of some reptiles, it is only a matter of time before it gets under control. As for the Hurricanes… yeah, they suck. The humidity is the worst part of the state, it slowly destroys everything.
@cstokes4 yep “there are Burmese Pythons slithering around in every backyard” is pretty much the very idea I got from the TV show, but with the addition of being big enough to eat people (complete with photos of a body that was allegedly cut out of one of those snakes). After thinking about this a bit more, I think the reason man eating gators and snakes scares me more than bears is I suppose I would be more likely to see and hear a bear coming. If you go camping up there (our swampland, the upper peninsula) if you just periodically clang things, metal camping dishes etc, bears don’t want to bother you and will stay away. On the other hand I personally have no idea how (or if it can even at all) to announce to a man eating gator or snake “hello, I am here, don’t eat me please, thank you!” (but that’s probably something you guys down there know). We also have horrific, very Florida-like humidity in erm… our ‘other’ season of construction (because we’ve got lakes on three sides plus you can’t go 20 miles within the state without hitting other lakes). "Lake effect’ really beats us up pretty badly in both seasons actually, just makes whatever we’re dealing with worse (we learn to pay more attention to things like "windchill factor, "heat indexes’ and ‘lake effect’ than just straight temperatures here) The good thing about our winters is that its like a computer’s reboot, a nice ‘reset’ to keep us from having too much creepy wild life (even if they aren’t big enough to swallow a human I suppose some of those snakes could still squeeze somebody to death, and you’d have to have some keen ears to hear it slithering up at you). I’m glad if its not quite so deadly as I thought but I think I’ll still stay in Michigan (where I really know what I’m dealing with). Out in the country (and you have to really look for them) we still have the occasional ‘garder’ or ‘garden’ (I’ve heard them called both) snakes. (Mostly peaceful little things that if you really want to inspect you can quick grab just behind their heads and pick them up and look at them before letting them go) That’s more about my speed.
Snuff Seasons, I look forward to finding out! Only been partaking since November so Winter is all I know. The effect of outside air on the scent is so profound that using snuff has prompted me to get off my butt and get out more…
My snuff taking sseasons tend to be days ending in a Y. lol. I’m the same os OTD. Only been snuffing in the winter so will be interesting to see what the summer is like. Looking forward to it.
