Snuff

[Jlt012]

I tried snuff for the first time today.. I picked up some Ozona Raspberry, from what i heard it was the best beginner snuff. I poured about a dime size out and right away I felt the burn. It was different than I thought, I really didn't feel a nic hit. I also heard that snuff clears the sinuses? Didn't really notice that. However I did like the taste, but it may just take some time to get used too.

Jlt012, Welcome to the world of snuff.

If you haven't already, take a read through the Nasal snuff thread above. Tons of good info scattered throughout that thread.

Dime size is kind of big I think. Maybe cut back a touch. I don't really feel the nicotine so much from snuff. I can use it in place of snus though. I've forgotten my snus before, and used snuff exclusively for a few hours, and I didn't feel bad. It isn't a perfect replacement, but it's enough to take the edge off, and I didn't get the nicotine withdraw bitchies like I would abstaining from nicotine altogether.

The best advice I have received about snuff was from sage (suprise suprise) and he said take a deep breath and hold it (like...uh...well, you know), and then inhale like you're breathing and the snuff goes in lightly. It's worked for me.

I love hearing that Chad. It truly was an accident when I discovered it, and a light bulb went on and said, hmm, this could help some folks.

Jlt012, I'll echo what lxskllr said. Too much. The standard advice for newbies is a pinch the size of an apple seed. I do more now, on some snuffs. But that is a great place to start.

Besides reading above thread, go to www.snuffhouse.org. Read the how to's they have. Great source for info when you are just starting out.

that advice has helped me tremendously sage...I'm still fairly new and honestly don't plan on making nasal snuff a habitual thing. I will say it functions extremely well as midday pick me up. Out of what I've tried, I dig the dholakia swiss chocolate the most.

I usually put about an apple seeds worth on the back of my hand and do a swift sweeping sniff. Seems to work well, and I can do another if one wasn't enough.

Sage your advice (I'll call it Sage's Toke Method... get it? Toque/Toke? :lol: Nevermind....:roll: ) has helped quite a bit, however it seems, no matter what I try or how softly I breathe, that I always end up with snuff at the back of my throat. Could it be because the only snuff I've had so far is Toque Whisky & Honey? Or that I may have screwed up my nose (history of putting other powders in it)?

[Jlt012]

I have noticed that too. About 10 to 15 minutes later i notice it in the back of my throat..

[sagedil]

Y'all just need a bunch more practice. Getting it in the back of my throat was a bit common the first month or so I used snuff. Just be patient with it, and it will get easier and easier

eyephantom, LOL, you won't be able to resist the siren song of snuff. You just *think* it won't become habitual. It will. :wink:

"Sage's Toke Method".... Y'all just made my day with that!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[tom502]

I think it's normal to get some in the throat, even veterans say this happens.

[Snusdog]

Yep, Ive been using snuff for quite a while now and it still happens to me from time to time, especially with the finer toasts. ops:

I could never master the F&T high dry toast even though it is a very fine snuff, that I wish i could! wilsons irish toast #22 has a smell that i just love!

I just tip the tin back (Ozana) and tap some snuff in with my head tilted back. I use a bunch of it... gives a nice little rush. Be careful though could get ya a nose full. I tap some out and use a bunch of tiny sniffs then dust my nose off to clear the 'crumbs'

For some reason....that brought the scene from Scarface into my head.
