How do you not get snuff down your throat?

My variation: I use my pinkie finger since it fits better into my right nostril deviated septum.

I lightly wet (dampen) the pinkie finger and dab it into the snuff and then place it in the nostril, covering all exposed areas without going too far back.

No problems yet after about a year.

Great tip! I will try that! I think it's harder to do the wet pinching technique with a moist snuff like President. Have to get me some Toque!

Snusgetter's variation on the wet pinch is a good one. Heders, you are free to use whichever fingers work best for you. There are no requirements on how to do the wet pinch "correctly."

Likewise, you can experiment with placing the snuff in whatever areas of the nostrils your fingers can reach. However, you shouldn't have to insert your fingers very deeply to find the right spot.

Remove the snuff by blowing or wiping whenever you feel the need to clear your nose, the same as you would to clear mucus.

Thanks for the positive feedback on my advice, but I have to give credit where it's due. I learned about the wet pinch technique from our good friend Roderick at Toque Snuff.

Thank you PipenSnus! Thank you Roderick! Thank you snusgetter!
