Here you go. I can’t afford the whole set do I’m just saving up for a single one, or I might have to settle for a plastic paint pot. We can always dream :
If they work they work! I think it would be sillier to have a £10,000 snuff box instead of a good cheap acrylic container. I can appreciate the beauty of these, especially the first and last ones, but personally I would still choose a nice simple natural wooden snuff box over the fancy ones. But I’m still looing for the perfect one my tins atm suffice.
I would really like to see a snuffhouse approved box for us all to buy!! Preferably in some unusual yet affordable material…maybe nickel plated brass or paper mache…hmmmm
The ‘Just a Pinch’ one is $30 to $40.Just a Pinch tin I think it’s just the lid though and it’s made for copenhagen snuff. There’s similar ones here where the base is sold seperately. : Base You can get it elsewhere as silver & gold too :Here
It looks like it’s made for skoal/copenhagen so it just pops on the top of that and serves as the lid. I guess you can just put anything in there but I’m not sure of the size of it other than it comes in 2 different sizes.
Some more snuff boxes :
Yep they are, albeit very strange, actually snuff boxes :
These are much more my style, which I saw on ermtony’s site made by : Link
And for the heavy snuffers out there when a snuff box isn’t enough and only a suitcase will do :
Yeah I was just updating it as you wrote that. I guess you can put anything in there but it looks like it’s made as a lid for skoal & copenhagen snuff.
I personaly find the just a pinch lid pretty offensive. If the woman had a diffrent expression on here face otherwise then looking like oh “f###” I’d think it was cool. Just my opinion.
They’re described as “comical cowboy themes”, stereotypical drunk cowboy I guess for that one, and they are a bit tongue in cheek The ones in the ‘base’ link are similar but without that blue.
