I have about twelve tins, I switch off every day which kind I use and have about 7 of them going. Will I ruin them by doing this? A little worried.
Are they the large tins, they eventually lose the tight seal. I have a couple of the larger tins that just spin and spin when I’m trying to tighten the lid and they just won’t get a perfect close. If you have an empty tin of a different brand or a smaller toque tin, you might want to put the snuff in those. I had a Toque Raspberry tin come open in my shoebox of snuff cause I’d opened and closed it so many times.
Yeah they are the 25 gr
I’ve never had a problem with the 10g tins. I even take them with me in my pocket.
I remember Roderick saying he wasn’t too happy with the 25g tins but he had a ton of them and had to use them before he got ones that are designed better… not sure if he ever upgraded them. Maybe just be gentle opening and closing them. I would recommend investing in a snuffbox or just put the snuff in some smaller tins. Maybe bullets are your thing.
Toque tins are great, but they do leak aroma which I suspect leads to staleness. Put several toque tins in a zip lock baggie and then smell the bag the next day. It’ll stink of snuff. To my mind that’s not good which is why I use a rubbery type sticky tape to make sure all tins (not just Toque) are airtight. Neither my snuffs in the fridge or in bulk emit any smells which I take as a sign the snuffs are being kept fresh. Obviously you can’t protect snuff from the air inside a half empty tin. Best to decant to a snuffbox/smashbox, and then reseal the tin with tape imo.
@Roderick GAH but I need more Peanut Butter NOW! good to hear that, though, it will be nice!
@Roderick thank you very much sir. Love the snuff…don’t know what I’d do without my Berwick Brown for sure.
my toque consumption is gonna go up.
Just want to add that roderick the rose snuff you made is fu**ing amazing. It’s sweeter and candier and somehow more creamy then other rose snuffs (which I haven’t meet one I won’t buy again.).
@Bob: I totally agree Rose is awesome.
Toque tins are the best out there in my view, and a fully threaded tin will make them even better. FandT tins are technically better at the moment but not that good to pinch from.
@snuffster agreed. I love the seal on the F&T but they are so darn narrow!
I put lots of snuff in empty toque tins. They are perfect for carrying around and they never open. I find that theres no noticeable difference in flavour until about 1-2 months of frequent use. They do dent easily though. And I LOVE the rose. When I take a pinch my girlfriend always says how good I smell lol
