I got one of these on a trade some time ago, I did not realize what it was until yesterday, when reading a thread about dusty snuffs. I tried it out last night. Took me a while to figure it out. Pretty cool! It shoots the snuff right in, but not too far. Anyone use these regularly?

I want one of these so bad, but I just can’t seem to fit it into a Rajek’s order. If anyone has one for trade, hit me up!

Make that 2. I do want to try this contraption!

Post some pics of it being used.

It took me a while to figure out. You just flip your wrist, and it fills the chamber. Then you flip open the top, and push down on it. It actuates a tiny (ingenious) mechanism that pops and the snuff shoots out the hole. It makes a tiny click noise. I’ll try to post some pics later. Oh wait here’s one. See the white cover that is up? You swing it all the way over onto the other white part, then push down. It takes a bit of a squeeze to work.

I have 12 of these automatic boxes but only use 2-3 at a time, each with different snuff. This is thee only way I use snuff as I could never catch on to pinching and sniffing. Didn’t matter what method I tried, always ended up with snuff going too far up. The best thing about these boxes, almost impossible to spill your snuff and you can use while driving! Only bad thing, which may be true of many snuffboxes, it isn’t airtight, so many snuffs only last a few days. I really can’t praise these boxes enough, I would have quit snuff months ago had I not tried one out.

Any chance of Mr Snuff or Nicotine Rush getting some automatic snuffboxes? I’d love to try one.

I think both stores carry everything Pöschl deems fit to export to the US. If someone can talk the US distributor into importing automatik boxes, have them try to get some Pöschl schmalzlers for us too.

How do we get our faithful internet dealers to read the last four posts?

They read them. They might even chime in. Unfortunatley the decision is not really in their hands; its up to either Pöschl’s export marketing people or its up to the US distributor. This is one disadvantage of having such a large business. You’ll notice the small businesses pay attention to us, whether they be snuff makers or sellers. In the mean time, I guess all we can do is buy them from Germany or hope someone like Roderick makes one. That Swiss gadget is available through Snuff Store now, I notice. Its not automatic though.

Swiss gadget? And you didn’t tell me about it an hour ago in the schmalzler thread when I was placing an order why? Sorry, I’m a gear head. It comes with my industry. Wait til we have a “post a photo of your office” thread.

I did read the shmalzler thread, but you had already ordered when I read it, also I wasn’t thinking of it until a few minutes ago. I don’t really know much about it other than it does both nostrils at once. It looks sort of like a, hmm, a um, Space Flute? Breeze in Switzerland has a bunch of them and now Snuff Store carries a few. Look at Breeze’s website on the FAQ pages under shops. If you want gear, that only scratches the surface. They, and Rajek’s and Snuffstore.de and some of the other German shops for all kinds of catapults, slingshots, etc. Look in the archives for all the goodies you can add to you kit. For myself, I’m happy with a handful of snuffboxes, a few different size spoons (even though I pinch 90% of the time). I have a handful of bullets which I rarely use, a little funnel to fill them or other containers, a metal rod to push them through the funnel when they clog it, a pocket mirror for checking my nose, some hankies, smash boxes, cannisters, my neti pot and its salt and zinc solution. That’s about it, but you can go really crazy if you have time to search. There are lots of weird styles of snuffboxes out there too.

I just tried a bullet the other day when I got my Dholakia samples, and I find them decent for public use and driving. The Old Man suggested I get some Toque bullets of my favorites for public use. He thinks it would be less bustworthy for me to use snuff in packaging with a tobacco name on there. It’s kind of backwater here.

Carol, the Toque and Dholakia bullets are refillable so you don’t need a lot of them.

Bernard and Poschl shmalzlers available from our favorite US dealers? That would be wonderful. I placed an order with snuffstore last night, but had a hard time deciding if I wanted more Bernards or QWS. I’d love to be able to get both in the same place. (Plus I really hate that pesky dollars to Pounds conversion)

Xander, yes I know. I was just thinking of getting a few bullets of my favorites to refill, so they would be labeled to ease my confusion. My hubs noticed that I tend to grab certain ones more than others, so he suggested I get some bullets of those. That sounds like blessings to make another order to me! I’m just waiting for the right time.

Re the automatik-boxes, I’ve been sent this info: They aren’t produced by Pöschl themselves any more. They’re produced by AKRA who produce all kinds of tobacco related products, like cigarette cases, lighters and such stuff. So, the distributors can´t order the box at Pöschl, which makes it highly unlikely they´ll list it at all, unless they order it directly at AKRA. But to get a good price they´d have to order quite some numbers and they don’t have anything else snuff related

So perhaps a full works tobacconist might sell them? Mars or My Smoking Shop maybe?

My Smoking Shop has them listed under Snuff Boxs. But, it looks as if there is no stock available. Maybe they will reorder. I sent them a message to see if they will be.

MSS doesn’t ship to the US. I think the only place to get one (for US residents) is Rajek’s.

That is too bad. Simon said that he should have more available this week.

I wonder if they would ship if there is no tobacco involved, just the box. Also I wonder if they’d accept some kind of money orders. This credit card business is starting to really irk me.

now i want one more. or one of those double barreled snuff shotguns. I NEED MORE TOYS!

I’d think MrSnuff could order a box of these, I think I’d buy one, unless it’s way overpriced.

For those interested My Smocking Shop has a limited stock now.

I just checked again. The big banner on the top says…We don’t ship to the USA. I don’t know why…I am getting stuff from UK, Sweden and other places with no issues so far.

becuase credit card companies dictate policy

i want a ram horn mull so bad… my dad is a taxidermist though maybe him and i can conjure something up.

I just got one of these, I cant seem to open it, it stays stuck on one side, anyone have any ideas? EDIT: Never mind, found this link: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/smokeless-tobacco/85676-poeschl-automatic-box-review.html it cleared everything up

Im using the toque bottle at the moment, to slightly change the subject. If you like the tap and sniff boxes this has to be the ultimate. Its completeley airtight stainless steel and will clearly outlive anyone who buys one. Snuff inside is kept at absolute maximum freshness. No snuff box or tin can match this in my experience, even the best of the expensive snuff boxes, and I have a few, allow the snuff a good dose of air when you open the box, the snuff in these bottles is protected by the heavy duty screw top and the small diameter bottle neck.

That’s good to hear, Snuffster. I think I will have to get one of the bottles. I love stainless and it would be nice to tie it around my neck with a fancy knot and a bit of string at work, much like they used to with the Bull Durham pouches.

I thought I ordered some regular snuffboxes from snuffstore.de, but I received these automatik-boxes instead. I wasn’t very happy, until I read this thread! I still like pinching better, but I suspect an automatik-box can help a lot with the strongest/finest snuffs: since you don’t inhale, it remains firmly in your nostril, leaving the sinuses (sinii?) and the throat alone. Thanks guys!

After a couple days of testing, I must say that, for some snuffs, this box is definitely the best choice - I’m enjoying WoS CoC a lot, possibly too much!
