Burundi, Muyinga Province, Twa or Batwa (pygmies) snuffing liquid tobacco, snuffing is very typical of Burundi, the liquid tobacco is poured into the hand and sucked into both nostrils so that it does not flow, a rudimentary clip is placed at the end of the nose but it remains to remove the product when the effect is felt, this inelegant effect and the introduction of cigarettes make snuffing receding rapidly, in the background you can see their very poor straw hut habitat (4x5 reversal film reproduction)
