Jumping Right In

[texasmade]

ive been interested in trying snuff for awhile just never placed an order..im ordering from toque and so far i have Absinthe, Champagne, Chocolate, and Whiskey and Honey in my cart...do yall have any suggestions or tips?

As good of an order as any to start.

Just take it easy when you start. Snuff the size of an apple seed, and breathe n REALLY easy.

And welcome to our world. :wink:

i still have some of chad's wtf to practice with until my order gets here(i wish i knew what it was because its really good) as far as the breathing ive read around and alot of people say to breathe in as deep as possible then take a quick light sniff.. would that be accurate?

[sagedil]

My trick to newbies that can't seem to be able to sniff lightly enough is breathe in and hold it, THEN sniff. Sniffing while holding your breath stops you from breathing in too hard.

But just try it. If you get a bunch in the back of your throat, you are doing it too hard.

how long would you have to snuff before you pick up on the flavor/smell for longer than 10 minutes?

how long would you have to snuff before you pick up on the flavor/smell for longer than 10 minutes?

That depends on the snuff. Some like F&T French Carrott will last for hours for me. Some like most Toques fade in a couple of minutes. Although often times a squeeze of the nose will sort of bring the scent back. It also depends on your nose. I'm sure someone with a great sense of smell would pick up in it better.

idk which one i have right now but when the smell goes out i clamp my nose shut with my fingers and move my nostrils around(if that makes sense) it works but it still fades out so i guess all i can do is try different brands out till i find some that last a bit longer

Fresh air wakes the scent up also. You can step outside after the scents gone, and it'll come right back.

Not sure if you already placed your order, Tex, but I'd suggest adding some Spanish Gem, Coke, and Menthol to your sampler.

If it makes you feel any better, it was a Toque. Maybe that will reassure you a little about how easy Toque is to take.

[texasmade]

ah well then starting with toque was a good idea Red ive already placed my order but i will be sure to get those on my next one.

texasmade, welcome to the obsessive world of snuff. There will always be another snuff you just must have now. What leads to $93 snuff orders. :wink:

[texasmade]

just trying to branch out some. i even filled out that page for the free samples of pipe tobacco to give that pipe smoking a try

[sagedil]

Pipe smoking is by far my biggest obsession these days. Just a huge world compared to snus, and even snuff. There are at least 10,000 different tobacco blends covered on tobaccoreviews.com Could smoke a different tobacco each and every day for 30 years and still not go through all of them.
