Traditionally, rapé has been administered through a hollowed tool, which can be a bone or a small piece of wood that allows the powder to be blown up through the nose. The “kuripe” is a self-administration tool in the shape of a V, so that one extreme is in the mouth and the other in the nose. As for the “tepi” it is just a long and hollow tool, used between to people or more to blow the snuff to each other.

It is said that when blowing rapé to oneself or someone else, it is important to keep a positive and peaceful attitude, and your mind as clear as possible.
