Okay, folks, let’s dive into my little adventure with snuff shovels.
So, I got into this whole snuff thing a while back. Don’t judge! Anyway, I quickly realized those tiny spoons that come with some kits are, well, useless. They’re fiddly, I spill stuff, it’s a mess. I needed a better solution, something, you know, efficient.

The Hunt Begins
I started poking around online, looking at what other people were using. I saw some fancy, expensive stuff, but I’m not about dropping big bucks on something I use to, ahem, put powder up my nose. I wanted practical, not a showpiece.
I tried a few different things, honestly. Some were too big, like mini-ice cream scoops. Some were too small, barely holding anything. I even experimented with a couple of things I found around the house. It was a journey, let me tell you.
Finding “The One”
Then, I stumbled upon these little guys. They weren’t even marketed as snuff shovels, really. I think they were supposed to be for, like, spices or something. But the shape looked perfect. Kind of like a tiny, flattened shovel with slightly raised edges.
- Size: They were small enough to be discreet but big enough to actually hold a decent amount.
- Shape: The flat, slightly curved design was key. It let me scoop up the goods without making a mess.
- Material: I went for stainless steel. Easy to clean, durable, no weird taste. I like to keep things practical, and easy to maintain!
I ordered a few – always good to have backups, right? – and waited. When they arrived, I was pretty stoked. I gave one a test run, and bam! Perfect. No more spills, no more fumbling around. Just a clean, easy scoop every time.
The Verdict
These little shovels were a game-changer. I’ve been using them ever since, and I haven’t looked back. I keep one in my snuff kit, one in my car, one at work. They’re just that handy. So I thought my sharing might help others, I hope.
So, if you’re in the market for a good snuff shovel, don’t overthink it. Look for something small, flat, and with a slight curve. And don’t be afraid to look outside the “official” snuff accessories. You might be surprised at what you find!
