    I just wondered how much snuff members take per day. On average I guess I snuff about 5-6 times per day (sometimes a few more)

    What constitutes a light user, moderate user and heavy user? (I ask because some snuffs are described as being for 'moderate users' etc)

    I guess on that basis I'm a heavy user! I reckon I sniff 2 or 3 times an hour, sometimes less and sometimes more (particularly during the evening in the pub).

    I'm going to have to agree with ermtony because I'm the same way during work!! Being a server/chef you all ways need a pick me up!! So I'm a heavy user too...

    Well I know there has been a few similar post, you can check out some of them below. For me its on average of every 10-15 minutes. Sometimes longer sometimes sooner. But I think when a snuff is labeled "for moderate snuffers" its more about the grind and flavor/scent than your actual ability. Because the more snuff a person uses they tend to want something with a little more robust flavor and tend to veer away from the starter candy snuffs. Some of the more robust snuffs you might not like the scent of when you first start out but then you kind of graduate to them. Like someone first starting out would more than likely pick something like Gawith Apricot over something like Tranters Beau Nash or Swisher Square. But after a while you will start to appreciate snuff with good tobaccos rather than just a snuff with added flavor that makes it sweet and easy to like.

    5-6 times a day is a very light habit. Like Trout, I will use it about every 15-20 minutes when I am in full flow (I have the odd day without any) and I agree that this heavier type of use usually goes hand in hand with using the stronger types that rely on tobacco type,cure and blend rather than lots of menthol and flavouring. These are the most satisfying when you are used to snuff because they tend to give a bigger nicotine hit and a stronger flavour in the nose. Ex- smokers (like me) tend to have heavier habits as well. Try some of the SP types, Irish High Toast, Toque original etc for comparison - assuming you are not already using these of course

    As a result of this thread I decided to actually keeps tabs on how much I am snuffing. It seems I underestimated it. It's more like 4-6 times an hour!

    And yes, I tend to stick with the SPs and Toasts, with only the occasional other. I'm a near-ex-smoker too.

    With me it depends on wheat I'm doing, sometimes I could go for an hour forgetting to take any, Then to as high as 7 to 8 per hour.

    Thanks for the responses, 7-8 per hour? I am definately a very light user!! Lol

    I received some Gawith Apricot, Lowenprise and Sam Gawith black coffee through the post today but since my nose is still a little dry I am going to postpone trying them until tommorow!
