Hopefully, I will have Patrickās awesome boxes available on NicotineRUsh.com fairly soon. Tom NicotineRush.com
FarleyFlavors, Iām curious, what happens when one of these goes through the wash. I mean, how bad is it? Warped? Cracked? Finish removed? All of the above?
Yeah, my walnut box tightened up on me quite a bit (actually itās developing a little hairline crack on one end). I think Iām just going to take a bit of light sand paper to the edges of the lid and lube it up with bees wax. Iām curious though what did happen with the wash? OneForTheRoad, did you use bees wax to lube the latest Padauk box I got from you ? Maybe that would be a good way to seal the inside cavity, lid and edges. Iāll let you know.
The padauk wood is naturally very oily and one of the best woods for the purpose. They really feel like theyāre on ball bearings sometimes. And no, thereās no wax involved. Also remember that the woods used to make the boxes, and the finished boxes, are stored at normal room temps. and at 50% humidity. I would advise trying to keep the box in this climate for a week or so and see if that makes a difference. All the woods have different characteristics, but all will be affected by temperature and humidity changes, some more than others. Some change very rapidly and some take a very long time to change. I mentioned to someone recently about a hickory box I have that is really loose normally but a few hours in the cold (out shoveling snow) and youād be lucky to get it to open. Caution: using wax or sanding the edges is very risky and can very easily lead to unsatisfactory results. Believe me, I know. Havenāt heard from farleyflavors but would also like to know more about the washing incident. Canāt be good though. Would you wash your grand piano out in the driveway on a sunny day with a garden hose? Come to think of it people with nice pianos typically keep the room strictly in a certain temperature range and even have humidity control units inside the piano to keep the wood from expanding and contracting.

I just received two of onefortheroadās snuffboxes today. The pictures donāt do these amazing boxes justice. They are tiny jewels, perfectly made, beautifully finished. The marquetry is superb. Absolutely beautiful work and a treasure to own. My wife likes them so much that I will be ordering more without interference LOL Thanks Patrick for these fantastic snuffboxes!
I agree with Snuffbox, just received 3 of them from Snuff Store and Iām very happy with them. Filled them with Rooster, Tom Buck and the new Blenderās Bundle. Might want more of these ā¦
Glad to hear you like the snuffboxes. Happy snuffinā!
Hello there onefortheroad (Patrick?). Iām new to the site and just come across these grand looking snuffboxes, iād be grateful if you could contact me with the selection currently available and of course how to pay. Thanking you. Kindest regards, collierboy
Thank you Patrick for your swift response, Iāii email you with all the information you require. Kindest regards, Collierboy
Just stumbled on this thread. Are any still available? Is the price still the same?
My inventory has been pretty much cleaned out. Hereās a pic of what I have right now. Should have new ones done in a couple weeks. Same price for now.
I ordered one of your boxes from nicotine rush recently. Now I have to convince my wife that these are in fact a necessity (and not just a luxury) so I can order some more. Great box.
Glad you like it Pfrat. Ways to convince your wife you need more snuff boxes: 1. Keep leaving big tins of snuff everywhere since they ādonāt fit in your pocketā. (e.g. next to you on the church pew, right in front of the remote sensor on the TV, etc.) 2. Conveniently āforgetā to grab your big tin of snuff, that didnāt fit in your pocket, and have to take time to go back for it. 3. Use an empty tin and fill with fake snuff (crushed dog food?). āAccidentlyā drop, break, spill the contents. Then say āoops, there goes a whole can of snuff, what a waste of money, can you help me clean this up?ā 4. Say āthis can of Rooster wonāt fit in my pocket, can you carry it in your purse?ā Then ask for it back every 15 minutes to take a pinch. In each case be sure to point out that it wouldnāt have happened if you had only been carrying a days supply of snuff in a convenient pocket snuff box Still going to be another week before new ones are ready.
You could just hire a fake doctor to tell her the only cure for your rare and horrid disease is to have lots of snuff boxs. She probably wonāt buy it but the just in case sheās wrong will certainly kick in.
I think number 4 on onefortheroads list sounds like a winner (Iāll try the āhorrid diseaseā option if that doesnāt work)
itās best not to use the horrid disease option too much. You never know when youāll need it. There are only so many times sheāll believe you. Then sheāll be like right youāve got some horrid disease and you need antibiotic sureā¦
Ok, Iām starting to get some amount of inventory available. I know thereās been a long wait by those wanting the zebrawood. These are ready to go and there will be some more new stuff coming in a week or two. These are Padauk, Teak, Lacewood, Lyptus, and Zebrawood.
