Hello Everyone, just wanted to see what everyone thinks about theory that taking pinches warms the snuff and release more flavor. I personal prefer the spoon or bullet method because my work keeps my hands fairly filthy. But wouldn't your body heat warm the snuff anyway after its in you nostrils? Just want to hear your thought plus I am not keen on fingers being in and out of my snuff even if there clean which I highly doubt they are dosnt that bother any of you who prefer the pinch method?

Anyway, on to the first question since I just answered the last. No, I've never noticed any difference between a pinch I've held longer than one I just grab and snuff. Possibly could make a difference with 'artisan' snuffs but I've never used any so I don't know. I keep my snuffbox in my pants or waistcoat pocket so I'm fairly certain its near or at body temperature when I pull it out anyway.
Have I noticed a scent boost from warming? Maaaybe, and it seems like artisan snuffs might especially be boosted with some warmth, but I definitely don't notice since they're usually pretty rich on their own.
PS thanks for all the comments and it sounds like we are all in agreement about the warming effects.
