Snorting perfumed tobacco up our nose when meeting someone was something that Nick and I weren’t used to doing. It burned the insides of our nasal cavity and we both coughed and sneezed after sniffing it. I’m sure the Mongolians thought we were total amateurs, but we still participated in that aspect of the Mongolian culture…a couple of times. Once we learned that we didn’t actually have to inhale the tobacco and it was completely fine to just smell the top of the bottle, we opted for that every time!
