@Sammyd13 inspired this post with his latest snuff order of vintage Levi Garrett. Please, valued Snuffhouse members, do some online snooping and share the oldest snuff you can find that is available for purchase. I ask that you include a picture and link if at all possible, if not just tell us the story. Thank you everyone who reads this and participates. Happy hunting!

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought I had everyone beat with this ceramic bottle of Poschl prickelnde Prisen I found on ebay for about ten bucks - I saw the buy it now auction within about an hour of it being posted, which was damn lucky.
The gentleman assured me that he had never pulled the cork once in the more than fifty years that had passed since he bought it in Germany. I am almost done with it, it took me a year and a half, and that was only using it for special occasions.

"Otto Landsberg was multi-faceted and gifted man. Born in Germany in 1803, he immigrated with his parents and brothers to South Africa in 1818 and died in the Cape in 1905. In his lifetime of more than a century he was simultaneously artist, art teacher, musician and successful snuff merchant." https://antiquarianauctions.com/lots/otto-landsberg-1803-1905-19th-century-south-african-artist
