Help me figure out how to take snuff

[manfisher]

I am relatively new to snuff and cannot seem to be able to take any without it either going very deep in my sinuses or into the back of my throat and lungs. I've tried nearly everything, the pinch, the boxcar, back of hand etc. and have tried quick, sharp sniffs and very, very gentle sniffs and nothing seems to prevent it from going too deep. I think I might have just found a way to take it that mitigates that and its by taking a pinch, blocking my nostril with the fingers pinching the snuff, and shoving it into the very front of my nose, hard against my septum and taking a sharp sniff while rolling back my fingers. Is this how its done?

Don’t use lung power. Just drop your tongue to create a vacuum. Eventually you will be able to do this without closing your throat for a proper insufflation.

Smell it gentle like a flower. Use distance from nostril to control hit.
