Hi all. Big time lurker here. Anyway, I normally use/recycle Toque 10g tin for carrying snuff through the day. I have recently had galling issues with the threads. Bad enough I had to destroy an SP Extra tin because I just could not get the top to loosen, and I have strong hands. The tin was probably a year or two ols and just ?wore out? Has anyone had issues like this? Anyone have a source of either anodized tins or better tins in general? The size of the Toque 10g tin is perfect. I do not want glass (heavy) or plastic (gets ruined by menthol crystal abrasion). Any thoughts? Is steel better that the aluminum, though it can still gall?

Hey there, @Cappadoc!  

These are what I’ve been using and others I’ve sent them to like them as well:

P.S. I order both the 1 and 2 ounce containers and they both fit pockets easily.

Are those more durable? Or essentially the same?

Much more durable. Much more coarse threads as well. No gaskets though

“Much more durable. Much more coarse threads as well. No gaskets though”

Agreed … it will keep fine for a few days and then I refill from jars when empty or dried.

Thanks

My pleasure! 

OK, upon further thought, does anyone know of any tins with a lid liner/gasket?
