That small amount you could use a poison ring  Image result for poison rings for sale  and snuff right out of the ring.

McChrystals makes a 3.5 gram tin. its not a very good container, its like a WoS and hedges L260 tins. no threads, just metal sliding over metal. many do not like them but i use them. not sure if this is how you post a link but here it is:

The coin pots from here are good… https://coincrafts.myshopify.com

Small containers from 2-3g (and up to 20-25) are very common in beauty/nail art shops.
Can be plastic, metal and glass. They’re very cheap and often come in sets.

This is what i’ve got today from some Chinese online nail art store.
Surprisingly, those tins come with spoons :slight_smile:
Toque 10g and Med.99 5g tins for scale.

I use 5gm WoS tins … perfect for my usage.

Maybe a tic tac container might work.

I use lacons containers. I think I use the 1/20 container. Can’t remember. They work well, they are not fancy though.

I can’t recommend the small clear plastic threaded containers. I have many of them:

The problem is that these containers are far from airtight. They are only marginally more effective than leaving your snuff exposed to the air. Any snuff will be bone dry within two months.

I recommend amber glass twist top containers. I use 2oz (will hold 30 grams of snuff well packed) and 4oz (will hold 60 grams of snuff well packed) for storage and decant into small 2/3 oz (will hold 10 grams of snuff well packed), as you see here.

These are all available on Amazon right now. The 2oz and 4oz are available for next-day shipping, typically around $1 each. The 2/3 oz containers may take up to a month to arrive and they are around the same price range.

Wow! If you only started snuffing when you joined here, that’s an impressive collection. Well played sir! You remind me of me.

Thanks @Zanaspus. I started snuffing about 12 or 13 years ago and I have been following Snuffhouse ever since. I got back into snuffing in a big way about 5 months ago and joined the forum more recently. What you see there is actually a small fraction of my collection. I will lay it all out for a photo shoot at some point, probably whenever a snuff collection thread resurfaces.

@willynelson I agree you shouldn’t use plastic for long term snuff storage, but for carrying a small amount with you for daily use it will be fine. From what I’m gathering by the op, it sounds like he is looking for a small container to carry some snuff with him. Definitely use glass for long term storage.

@willynelson - Fan of your collection. 

@aguineapig - The cream colored top ones here are small and convenient. They are tiny threaded plastic tins which hold 5 grams approx. You might find them at the store where you get your plastic related kitchenware.

@psicko You are absolutely right. Plastic is fine for daily use. I should read more carefully before I rush to comment. Hah!

Sorry…tried uploading picture but it didn’t work

@monk try to use a seperate service like supload or file.army or imgur and then post the link here . This forum is really awful when dealing with images.

I like to carry several snuffs at once, so I’m also a fan of small containers for pocket use. At my local pharmacy I found these: IMG_0047 They don’t hold much (maybe three grams), are practically wafer-thin at 1 3/4" by 1/2" including the protruding tabs, and in two weeks haven’t once spilled in my pocket. The best part is that they also don’t leak- not one bit over a piece of white paper, and that’s with finely-ground W.E. Garrett. I just tried it again, and two weeks use hasn’t changed their snuff-tightness. The colors are another story, but I’ve got some paint that sticks to plastic real good. If you paint yours, know that the smell will be there to ruin your tobacco for a couple of months at least, even if you can’t smell the paint any more. I know this from painting some of eBay’s steel screw top containers (much like Toque’s tins, only smaller) for use with dipping tobacco. Only after this happened did I find the same cans in aluminum (which still oxidizes, but you don’t notice it like you do with rust). EDIT: To label them, I scratch up the top with some 600 grit sandpaper so that a sharpie marker has something to hold onto; later, the markings are effortlessly removed with rubbing alcohol.

Just got a 24 pack of small 1oz tins from amazon for about 10 bucks. Theyre pretty much the same size as the Toque 10g tins.

Hell, I almost forgot the 5 gram sized aluminum screw top containers I’m still waiting on from eBay (coming from china). They’re much like the tins Toque comes in. They’re cheap and won’t rust. Make sure you get them with the white gaskets so they’re airtight. Here they are: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-100pcs-Empty-Aluminium-Cosmetic-Jar-Tin-Container-Silver-Box-Screw-Lid-5-250g/302589376001?hash=item4673bb7601:m:mzrCvm4O6ZgbYR4UwmM7BZA
