I lost a tin of Ozona orange and a bullet of a custom smoked raspberry this week. Its driving me nuts!!! Im almost out of medicated snuff so I think im gonna go crazy without it. I looked everywhere…I thought for a moment they might of went through the washing machine but I see no signs Has this ever happened to any of you???

Speaking of washing machines, the old lady was doing the laundry and some of the whites had these weird stains on them. At first I thought it was rust or something 'till I looked in the washer. There sat the emptiest, cleanest tin of Toque Whisky & Honey you will ever see. I threw my work pants in there real quick after she already started the machine, guess I didn’t check the pockets good enough. I grabbed the evidence and disposed of it before she could see.

I had a tapbox of Ozona President go through the wash.

I’ve been fortunate not to wash or lose any snuff so far. But I’d hate to lose my spoon, and I’m pretty careful about keeping track of it. I’ve been so concerned about losing it that I’ve made several for backups. But I still have my favorite original and genuine dave-made snuff spoon. Now I’ve probably jinxed myself.

I jumped in the Ohio River with a smashbox in my pants when I was navigating my raft and when I emerged and found it, it was still in perfect shape! A near loss…

I left some ozona spearmint behind in a pub once, and have managed to lose to aluminum bullets. One on a bus and one who knows where. I also sent a toque acrylic bullet through the wash and the dryer, but it came out fine.

I lost my nice Poschl bullet a long time ago. Never used a bullet since.

I’ve left some tins at airports and pubs.

I’ve lost a PC box full of snuff to the washer. It seems dried out well enough, but it’s got quite a scent to it now. It’s funny because it had WoS Wallflower and it actually came out of the laundry smelling even more flowery!

Wow @puffpuff, is the box okay?

@puffpuff : you just reminded me that I lost a PC snuffbox on a dog walk years ago. Thanks for opening up old wounds …

I dropped a 10g tin of Toque Raspberry on the kitchen floor just recently. I was a tad annoyed at my clumsiness.

A phone was on a table, right next to a tin of Medicated 99, right next to… nothing. The phone started to ring, set on vibrate. Very enthusiastic vibrate, I’d say. You know, that kind that sorta moves on flat, smooth surfaces - like those that you might find on a table, say. A few rings later, that phone was a very happy, 99-covered phone, laying on the floor right next to a destitute, empty tin. I must say I wasn’t entirely happy.

It seems ok. The lid still slides smoothly and snuff-tightly. The snuff inside had clearly been submerged, though. It’s OK, as long as you put a floral snuff in it. I think this snuff box can scent a plain snuff all by itself. Sorry about the ‘old wounds’.

No, but I did loose half a toblerone recently, if anybody finds it please let me know.

That phone story was pretty funny pgcd…Oh good news I just found the Orange Ozona it was underneath the seat in the car. Boy was I happy to see it im like 2 snorts away from running out of anything medicated. I like my variety during the day but a medicated is a must have.

I once managed to lose a tin of Toque Vanilla. However, when I was decorating what is now my other half’s childrens bedroom (used to be ours) I found it down under the floor boards. Don’t ask me how it got there, I was just happy to have it back!!

Snuffin that must of been a laugh out loud moment to find it their…

This hasnt happened to me, but i have had a tin open up in my bag and it spilled almost all of it, i managed to save about 4 grams. I only had 2 tins at the time so i was left to use the same snuff for a month until i got more >.>

I have already admitted to snuffing off the carpet. I’ll admit now to other underfoot spill sites. My love is such that I will descend unto the most unholy of places to save you.

If I would have know snuffster I would have posted it back to you right away. Though it died honorable. I hope that eases the pain.

A painful event was the disappearing of a half-full 50g Super Himalaya, a 25g Dholakia white, 50g Dholakia Medicated and a smashbox of rooster I was carrying in a messenger bag on vacation. I also lost my Blackberry, my sketchbook, an mp3 player and a certain smoking medium that shall remain unmentioned with the pilfering of said messenger bag but it was the snuff who’s loss I mourned most as I spent the remainder of my vacation snuff-less

Wow thats a lot of snuff to lose I bet the first thing you did when you got home was head for your snuff stash ;D

Indeed I did

Hell yes!!! More than I can count… Every once in awhile I’ll come upon a WoS 10-gram tin or a bullet which I had forgotten about, stashed in this or that drawer or pocket. Some of them disappear off the face of the earth, much like Czech tools (which I used to buy by the fistful, for this reason). I’ve also had a tapbox of Gletscher Prise go through the wash. It seemed fine, I snuffed the rest of it anyway except for a small portion at one end of the box which seemed to have caked up.

I just reached into my pocket and found a tapbox of Red Bull that smells of menthol and Tide, the washing machine has claimed another tapbox.

RIP

If I ever lost my Silver Posch Bullet I would cry!

I lost my cheapo head shop bullet. I am still looking for my Toque Espresso tin!

I’ve lost a PC double box, an NTSU tub each of Toque Peanut Butter and Spanish Gem, and a couple others here and there.

My Grunt has gone AWOL.

Since this is my first post, I thought I’d start with a sad story. This summer, while enjoying a little Irish Toast and a glass or two of wine, I dropped my Patrick Collins snuff box onto my balcony. The Dutch summer is extremely unforgiving of such carelessness, to say the least, and the rain destroyed both the box, and the snuff within. Thus I lost a snuffbox for the first time ever, and it was only ever a metre away from my sofa. I’m not sure if this makes me a martyr, or an idiot.

No, just clumsy

I’ve dropped more snuff on the floor, in my car, in the toilet, or ran it through the wash, than I care to think about. Lost a few tins to an eager and curious toddler girl…turn my back for one second, and she’d opened two onto the ground and was opening a third. I’ve learned my lesson!

I’ve lost a few tins due to the lid coming off and the snuff spilling all over the place , either in my jacket or in my backpack. I think I’ve only dropped a tin on the floor once , did not attempt a Juxtaposer save though. One tin did manage to get itself dropped in a glass full of either soda or vodka , can’t remember very well due to being heavily intoxicated but it survived intact! Lost a tin to the washer and a metal bullet to airport security. I’ve also got a friend that’s in the habit of nicking my snuff…

I dropped most of the contents of a large tin of Wilson’s SP when I accidentally snuffed it too hard. It went into my sinuses and hit the back of my throat, and the prodigious sneeze that resulted caused me to fling the contents of the tin all over the floor.

@doctorbeat I guess this is one of the few situations where a tap box would render useful.

@doctorbeat I know the loss of your snuff was tragic, but the visual I got on that one cracked me up.

The original says “He lost his SLEEP and his digestion”; this is a clever license indeed, Mr. Vathek .

I lost a small tin of F&T Seville today. Might get it back tomorrow if I left it in pub.

I lost my bullet from toque. no idea where it got to. damn fine one too. I lose stuff all the time. Hopefully I put it somewheres “SAFE” that always means it is lost almost forever.

@Erg0lite, no way, tap boxes are even worse, because I always take them apart to transfer the snuff into a different container :oD @Dogwalla, I’m sure it must have been hillarious to behold, but thankfully I was alone when it happened. I’m always having comedic accidents, maybe I should start filming myself 24/7 so I can enjoy them too…

Got the lost tin back like all others lost earlier this year!

Another tin left somewhere! But I found a 20€ note on street today, which I wisely invested in drink so things are not too bad.

My dog stole a smashbox full of HDT from my jeans pocket while I was sleeping once.  I thought I’d dropped it somewhere in the house so I was retracing my steps from the previous evening and all around the sofa.  Went to let the dog out later and he’d left it sitting at the doorstep, looking a little worse for wear, but the contents where completely unaffected by the ordeal.

I lost my Halloween edition of the snuff takers ephemeris. Threw it out with some weekly papers. I was only half way through but I must say I wasn’t enjoying it anyway. The attempts at humor are awful and whatever little gems of tobacciana that are in there are far and few between. The fact that I didn’t care that I lost it really settled my conviction. I’m over whatever potential a rag like that has in my world.

I never lost any, however a former-friend of mine stole 3 cans out of my stock…i was extremely angry and the snuff was returned promptly…however one can was over half empty

Lost a tin of WoS Crumbs of Comfort. It turned up in my wife’s handbag!

Had a close call recently. I picked up a nearly brand new tin of Royal George from a shelf above the bench in my workshop, not really paying much attention to how I was holding it. the moment it cleared the shelf the top came off and the whole tin fell on top of the workbench. Made a perfect upside down landing. Luckily it landed on a fairly clean rag and I was able to pick up the whole thing and just turn it right side up. I was amazed to discover that loss was minimal. I was afraid that it would now smell like gun cleaner since that’s what I had used the rag for. Once again luck was with me as I took a quick bump to discover that there was no trace of the cleaner. I was most upset with my carelessness. Needless to say I am more cognicent of how I pick it up after that.

I think I lost my tiny tin of Top Mill. I want a little snuff of it but I just don’t know where I put it. The taste of it is crossing my mind and there really is nothing that can match it to my satisfaction. I’ve got a few more trinket boxes to go through before I give up.

Yes, I did lost a tin of 

Quit

Yesterday

And today I have searched everywhere for it. I cannot found it nowhere.

I have been snuffing for a year now and have never lost snuff, and any spills have been minimal. I cant imagine losing snuff, but I always fear the washing machine accident so I try to be extra careful.

we should rename this thread do you snuff? Tell us about the times you lost some.

Geez how many times… One dissappears, one mysteriously opens itself in my overshirt pocket, various random and clutzy spillages. The sad one was maybe when I started to learn, I lost a nice lil silver box once…once

ever drop a tin in the toilet? Aaaaaaaargh!

I am still searching for my first tin if GRUNT.

I have lost 4 beautiful Patrick Collins wooden snuff boxes when out and about. I now don’t bother with anything nice or expensive. Snuff boxes are like lighters - you will lose them or they will be nicked.

@tomhirvin Not to forget fancy fountain pens! I just carry cheapo plastic fountain pen, recycled snuff tins and a box of matches in case a lady asks for light.

@tomhirvin that is why my Regnas snuffbox never leaves my bedroom
