[Toque Snuff]

Hi Roo,

The best tip I can give you and it really works for beginners, is wet your finger and thumb before you pinch and don't sniff but gently push the snuff onto both sides of your septum. This will get both of you started then you can progress onto sniffing.

When first sniffing breath in before you sniff this stops it going too far into your nose.

Another beginner method is the 'bunny twitch' all you do is sort of twitching of your nose and it's almost like your willing the snuff to your nose. Crazy yes, but it also works. Just don't do it in public or you might be committed.

Good to see you here Roderick.

BTW, I am a total Toque pimp now. :wink:

[Roo]

Yes you are sagedil! I would not be looking at a can of Toque this very moment were it not for you.

Roderick, thanks for the tips. I've gotten much better at it over the past few days, but I will still try those techniques. I especially like the idea of "willing" the snuff into my nose, a la the Force. Thank you Obi Won!

[sagedil]

I'm glad you are still working at it roo. A few weeks later, I am still no expert by any means, but much better at it all than when it started.

And I should have my new Toque stuff sometime this week, and promise a review of it all!!

Roderick, about time you stopped back by here. :lol:

expanding my foray into "more safe" methods of nic intake, i bought some snuff earlier today - Poschl ozona raspberry and poschl gawith cola snuff.

while i enjoy both products, i can't say i feel much of a nic hit. the menthol and flavors are nice, but i don't feel much in terms of nicotine. very refreshing, but no buzz of any kind. I tried sniffing harder until i tasted it in the back of my throat, but no big change.

this could be more because of my tolerance (i need at least 13-15mg to feel anything) than anything, i guess. :lol:

[sagedil]

Ya gotta try some Toque. I get the most excellent nic hit from that, easy to use, and tasty too!! :lol:

And I use almost all strong snus, HIGH nicotine tolerance.

Also it seems to take a few trys for your brain to realize it's getting nicotine from your nose. I rarely get a buzz, but I could feel the hit after a few days.

[Toque Snuff]

Roo,
Glad it's working out, or should that be working in.

TBD I'm often here and read loads, but as this is a snus forum and I feel a little like an interloper.

I should say that the members here are very welcoming and I thank you for that.

I've been getting curious about trying it, but I don't know where to start. I know that where tobacco is concerned, I like dark, rich and strong (like my women - pff), as opposed to light and overly flavored. What's the Skruf Stark (or Dunhill Nightcap in pipe terms) of nasal snuff?

[Roo]

Toque Snuff, I have a question (and for all you other snuffers): While I have been enjoying vertain aspects of using snuff this past week, I am finding great displeasure in how stuffy I am, especially at night and in the mornings.

I have been using mentholated Afrin nose spray as well as Ocean saline solution, which both help, but I am waking up in the morning feeling rather sick as if I have a head cold. The suffiness persists virtually all day long Does this subside over time? It has actually caused me to stay away from my tin entirely today. Just wondering if this problem diminishes with experience as the nose gets accustomed, or if snuffers generally live life with a snuffy nose!

Also, I sneeze so violently and frequently afterward if gives me a sharp headache and damn near tosses a vital organ on the floor. Thanks again for all of your advice!

I get that way too (especially in the middle of the night and in the morning) if I snuff all day. When I first got into it I did it all day but now I only use it when I drink.

Not sure how afrin nose spray affects snuffers but my aunt can is addicted to it physically. Her nose is stuffed up all the time if she doesn't use it. I think it has been about three years she's been on it. Be careful so you don't get addicted to it.

I still sneeze a majority of the time after I snuff. As far as I'm concerned I've got the technique down pretty good, although when I'm drunk it is hard to sniff lightly. Menthol is all I use anymore and I like it because I can use a moderate amount and not be stuffed up in the morning. Give Gwaith Apricot a try if you have not already. It's not the strongest snuff but it doesn't clog me up and is decent stuff.

Hope it all works out!

Roo, I had about two days of stuffiness when I first started. It went away with use. Sneezing got better as my technique improved. I still get a sneeze now and again.

Roderick, I don't think participating comes up to interloper level. There seems to be some overlap between snuff and snus. Plus your insight could be quite helpful for us noobs. Some of us (me) need all the help we can get. :roll:
