Hallo, my name is Georg. I am a new member in that forum. But nearly two years I read the discussions nearly every week. I hesitated to become an member of this forum because i did not practice my english for years. I produce the wooden snuffboxes with the ankel cut and the dowel in my free time after the dayly work. You can see them at Snuffstore Uk. I use such boxes by myself an my favorite snuff is Pöschel Schmalzer Doppelaroma. On this place thanks to Alex who helped me to make the boxes popular. The picture shows some of the boxes.
Have you got still some of them availiable? The one in the middle in bottom is hilarious.
I’ve got to say thanks Georg! I love the box of yours that I have. Vielen dank! Und dein Englisch ist gar nicht schlecht!
Georg, I have a box of yours Number 4 the dark striped one. They are well made boxes. I got mijn from snuffstore.co.uk Many thanks. and has my friend ermtomy says Thank you, and your English is not bad at all.
How do they work??? Looks like it would be similar to a poscehel box. Really nice work though. P.s. your english seems about as good as mine (american is my native langauge, only a partial joke.)
I have one of these boxes and I love it very much. I carry it nearly every day. Very sturdy- I know it will last forever and it holds a LOT of snuff. Surprisingly large amount.
Georg, welcome! I am a new snuffer and a new member here as well. You do absolutely beautiful work! We’re very lucky to have you and Patrick amongst our members! I hope to buy boxes from both of you soon.
I got one 3 weeks ago. Works like a charm. Good quality!! I didn’t think that they were that big though. My snuff drys out very quickly. Do you make them any smaller? Maybe for 10g.
Welcome Georg! I hope to buy one of your boxes soon, they look great. Stefan Ps. Ich bin halb Deutsch, und deiner Englisch ist gut.
Thanks for the good feed back. If someone is interessted to get those boxes, please ask Tim Love from Snuffhouse Uk to get them. He and Mr. Hartmann (Kempten, Germany) made it possible to produce more boxes. If someone is interessted to know something about the evolution and history of those boxes, please tell me. Also if there is a problem with the box, tell me. There is a two years garanty. Georg
I’ll try the water trick. It’s not really a problem. I just reverse the head and all is well. If you have an opprotunity to post a picture of a smaller one and the amount of g it holds that would be great. Again, you make a very quality product.
Those are absolutely gorgeous! and welcome to the forum Georg
Nightcap- for that very reason, I only use mine to hold Irish HDT. It will hold enough of that particular snuff for a week because it’s so fine and dry. As you use the box, the peg will become tighter from the snuff. My dog got a hold of mine and put some bite marks in it, but I still like it. Just thought you’d like to know it survived the dog. But the dog almost didn’t survive…just kidding.
The burl wood is very nice.
@nightcap: What’s the water trick?
xsys: soaking the wooden peg in water allowing it to swell a bit.
Thank you nightcap.
Who is “Tim Love from Snuffhouse Uk”? How can we find which snuffboxes are available and do you make them to order?
Go to www.snuffstore.co.uk to buy one snuffbox. They ship internationally too. Stefan
