Standard action for tasting snuff.
Step one:
Take it out with a snuff spoon, or use a pinch of snuff to pour it out of a western/Chinese snuff bottle with a small hole (beginners suggest a small pile of dried mung beans or dried soybeans);
Step two:
Put this small pile of snuff near the tiger's mouth (when the thumb and forefinger are clamped, the tiger's mouth will protrude, just put it on this protruding part);
Step 3:
Use one nostril to approach this pile of snuff, which seems to stick at a non-stick distance, and then suck it into the nasal cavity with a little more force than natural breathing (just control the temperature and suck it into the front or middle of the nasal cavity)
According to my experience, there is a most sensitive position in the nasal cavity-the middle and front area (medically called sinus) where the airflow directly collides when inhaling hard. If you understand it carefully, stopping at that position is the most comfortable.
Key tip: Never breathe snuff into the nasal cavity or deep throat, it will choke you and you will not be happy at all.
Step 4:
Close your eyes, choose a comfortable posture and enjoy the smell and impact of snuff.
