Grace - I'm assuming you are a lady so if you are (sorry if Im breaking any political correctness rules) double welcome as we are almost exclusively male here
Just using snuff a 2-3 times a day right now trying to get used to it and will be cutting down the smokes. Also waiting for my online order, hopefully will be here tommorow. The bullet sounds like something that would work well for me, the discreetness of it.
One thing I noticed was that if I have a cigarette I just want another one right after it. Whereas after doing some snuff, I actually want to get up and do something. The rush is great!
Set my no more ciggys date for 8/8/08 as thought that would give me plenty of time to taper off and would be such a memoriable date.
It will work for grace I'am sure. I definately agree about the rush of snuff versus cigerattes. I'd have to smoke so many cigerattes to get any noticable lift but a decent pinch still gets me going for sure. welcome aboard. Oh yeah the bullets are great for discretion.
I think that you will find, even if it is unintentional, that your cravings for cigs will taper off very dramatically before you know it. Welcome aboard!
Hi Grace, I think you will find you have stopped a long time before 08:08:08. As soon as you feel the need for a cigarette have a pinch. As the nicotine content delivered from snuff is higher and instant the craving will vanish immediately.
Hang in there Grace - 20+ years on a pack and a half a day and Ive stopped with snuff, July 07 and going strong. The best advice, as our very own peddlar of powdered pleasures says, is to pinch when you feel the urge.
Just to introduce myself shortly: My name is Lars, I live in Munich and work as a lawyer. I started snuffing several years ago and still enjoy it very much. Unfortunately, I am still looking for the perfect snuff for me as my nose tends to clog after snuffing more than a day - no matter what snuff I pinch or how much. But I am still hoping :)
Hello juralalu, welcome to the forum. For me the best snuffs to keep the nose open are the fine and dry snuffs that are not overly scented. The best for keeping the nose open is Spanish Jewel if you can get a hold of some. And others like Toque Original & Toque Chocolate, WIlsons Strawberry does a good job at keeping the nose open as well as Tom Buck. Also the American Scotch snuffs. Bespoke Gin & Tonic, Dholakia Plain. Most menthols will clog me up after about 1 minute in the nose. And the more coarse snuffs tend to clog after a while. Its also good to keep the nose hydrated and cleaned out a time or two a day with something like saline spray. Also a regular nose flushing with something like a neti pot will keep your nose in brand new condition. This is good at night before you go to bed or at least a few times a week.
Another female snuffer here. I'm 20 years old and from California. I've just started taking snuff to see what it was like, and I must say its wonderful! One pinch and I'm transported to the 1700s! I look forward to talking about and learning more about snuff culture with you all, as I have doubts that I'll come across another in real life.
Oh Hellio all you've got to do is convert people. Just offer out pinchs and curiousity will get them in then the awesomeness of snuff will keep them snuffing at least part time.
I am Dug. I started snuff about a month ago. Its the first tobacco product that i liked right off the bat. The only thing is, my only choices here are ozona fresh and fruity. Its good, But I want something different without waiting for the mail to com.
Hello dugthegenius, welcome to the forum. No matter what side of the world your from, you can usually get a snuff order within a few days because there are some pretty proficient snuff shops out there. You could also take some of the ozona out and add some kitchen spices to it. Something like allspice, clove, aniseed etc. Something to break the monotony of the same old snuff until you find others.
I think people who are into tobacco will likely be at the least curious about snuff. In fact, I just converted my older brother as a fan! He is married to someone who doesn't smoke and loved that he can now go to non-smoking events with his spouse and not be pissy that he can't smoke.
Also, recently met a cool person I would consider a future BFF and when I told her about it she seemed interested to try it (she is a smoker). So going to introduce it to her next time I see her.
I guess it would be about time to introduce myself.
Names Steve and live in SoCal or southern california for those not familiar. Been dipping Copenhagen for about thirty years and mix in some nasal here and there. Decided to quit the Copenhagen and go nasal full time.
Hello Trout, I'm in a little town called Temecula in the inland empire about half way between San Diego and Riverside. I saw where you are in NoCal correct?
Yeah I know right where Temecula is. Lived in Ontario for a while as a kid with my Dad. He's now in Missouri. Still go that way about once a year because I still have family in Ontario, Riverside, Phelan which is next to Victorville and Pico Rivera. Used to go out to Winchester once a year for a huge hawaiian lua party with friends of the family. Did a lot of fishing at Elsinore & Perris.
I'm a little over an hour SW of Lake Tahoe, 1 hour East of Sacramento.
Welcome to all the new members! Yes snuff is still hard to find in most tobacco shops. The best bet so far is online etailers. It's nice to see some lady snuffers here too! The Inland Empire- I used to live there, in Rancho Cucamonga. Yup it's a real place. ;)
