Noticed this the other day on their website. Anyone have any experience with these? They look pretty cheap and are at $5.99 a piece but if they are “air tight” I think I might get a few of these. Anyone buy one and use em yet?

Do you have a link to these? When I click on the category for “plastic snuffboxes” I just see the smash boxes (which are definitely not $5.99). Edit: http://mrsnuff.com/store/bernard-plastic-snuff-p-1486.html

I’m intrigued by the Bernards box. I always wanted to grab one of those Gletscher boxes but never could get one.

$5.99 is a little much for something that is possibly total crap.

I still have two of those:)

I had one of the plastic traditional snuff boxes once and it was excellent, cheap and cheerful. Im sending off for one today as it happens.

Snuffster… could you give us a review after you use it for a week or so? I’m very interested in this since funds are tight and I dont have a snuff box yet.

I have a rubbish, agh, I mean Robby’s box in my hand right now. This is one of the most usefull snuff containers ever made, wish I had another 20 of them.

I remember seeing robby on sale at snuffstore a while ago, I knew i should’ve ordered it…

Any thoughts on the Gletscher sling shot box? I’ve seen a review but it was vague. I’ve been reusing the same Packard’s boxes for over 3 years now and they still don’t leak and work fine.

I can give you a review now because its identical to the one I lost some time ago. Basically, the box is in the shape of a classic flip top wooden box but made of a light brown plastic. The hinge is formed from the lid and the body of the box and holds about the same as a WoS wooden box, maybe 15g?. You can’t go wrong at this price. The last one I had didn’t leak and as they are moulded plastic I would expect them all to be identical, give or take the odd thou. Ill post if its any different but this must be the deal anywhere at the moment.

So the dispenser version is the same only with the dose hole and the Alpina type slide cover?

No, they are two different products, Ive only used the snuffbox.

It arrived today, every bit as good as I remember. 100% leak free, holds a good amount and is in the classic hinged lid snuff box shape. These are like a modern equivalent of the old papier mache boxes that many of the old time snuffers swore by; utilitarian, cheap but excellent. These are little gems and fantastic value. Buy one, no - buy two.

Could you take some pictures of it please, @snuffster?

I’m going to assume the dispenser is simply a modified version of the plastic box with a dispensing hole. I got bored and started fiddling around with some concepts based on the idea. I made a prototype from a plastic container but I believe metal snuff tins will work just as well. Poor Man’s Tapout Container: This one takes about 5 minutes to make. It requires a scavenged tap out box with a rubber stopper and a used plastic snus/dip can. For you military guys stuck in the field, a standard issue rubber noise suppressor for the ears works if you can’t find a stopper. The rest requires only a knife or something to bore a hole with and some tape. Not pretty but you get the idea. I didn’t get around to the second prototype but it involves a snuff tin and a small set of hinges commonly found on broken eyeglass fames, jewelry box lids, cigar boxes, craft stores, etc… The hinge must be attached to the stopper near its base. Otherwise, the thin strip of rubber which forms the original hinge between the stopper and a small anchor piece will not last long before it wears apart. Just cut off the small tail section attached to the stopper if it hasn’t worn off already. I know these are silly but I’m toying with the general concept. Personally, I’d rather spend a few bucks on the cool Bernard’s box. Maybe I just watched too much ZOOM as a kid.

There you go, just the standard snuff box type. The other one is on the same principle as the one you made, but rectangular with a Bernard logo on it. Both of them are on the Bernards website as well.

Awesome. I may have to grab a few then. I still wish I knew more about the Gletscher catapault dispenser. If they work good I’d like to obtain some of those as well.

Now I can’t find that box on Mr Snuff, clicking the link simply tells me “product not found”. Have they been removed from the listing Dave? If so, will you be getting any more in? I’m hankering for one now.

shucks sold out allready? edm

Actually I think they might be. I ordered another one of each last night and then they dropped off the site. Go to the Bernards site and they have more and at the same price more or less.

So what’s going on Dave? Went to order a plastic snuff box today and couldn’t find em on your site anymore. What gives?

K thanks

hope you ordered more than 10 this time dave, lol. did you order more of both kinds? edm

What the £$%^ is a large snuff machine?

I believe its some sort of snuff catapult that shoots snuff up your nose

I’ve always wanted one. I’ll have to make a piggy bank.

Sounds absolutely terribble.

Yay, been waiting on that to make my order. Grabbed a couple of the slider boxes. Looks really convenient for the price. Dave, I know you get tons of requests and such, but I was curious about some of those German catapult boxes like the Gletscher one or even the Poschl version of the slider snuff box with the Alps pictured on it. Any chance they might sell well enough for you to carry a few and beef up your selection stats? *Photos property of Snuff Store

I really want a few of those plastic bottles (by a few I mean about 6). I have a Zugspitze box purchased from Rajek, it works well. No idea what that other contraption is, but it looks interesting. That other snuff doser is about 33 Euros, must be something special. I also have a catapult box, works well too bad it only comes in Gletscher Prise.

… must … resist … TAD … !!!

What do you think of that Gletscher box cstokes? I’ve read mixed reviews on it.

ooo I like that plastic Poschl flask. I need some. TAD in full effect…

I love the look of those Zugspitze boxes, look to be on the same model as the Bernard’s. There’s just something appealing about cheap plastic snuff boxes, like I’ve said before they are like the modern version of papier mache. I read in the Fribourg and Treyer booklet and other places that serious snuffers used papier mache boxes; I think they would use the plastic ones if they were around now.

@Spyro: Does its job well, gets the snuff right up there.

Thanks cstokes, I’ll try to grab one sometime. Looks like it would be fun for Schmalzlers. Whatever happened to that recipe for making snuff boxes out of orange peels?

I’ll see if I can find it. The search feature is worthless.

Here ya go: http://snuffhouse.org/discussion/5098/making-italian-style-tabacchiere-snuffboxes/p1

Thx cstokes.

Looking at the black one it seems to be identical to the one I bought a few months ago and I suspect the change is the colour. They are fantastic snuff boxes but I would never store snuff in any snuff box because they are never 100% airtight and that’s the thing you need - unless you kept it in an airtight container as people who store flip tops sometimes do. That aside, this is the best snuff box on the market, pound for pound; very accurate moulding, hold a good amount and are pleasantly tactile. The top slides open for back of the hand snuffing but they also open as a standard snuff does. I hope you keep these in stock as they really are good.

@Dave, is the green one really that loud lime green? I like green but that looks obnoxious. Guess I’ll have to go with red or black.

Good points. I’ve got a week to think about it before I can place my order.

Why did they have to come in two days after my order! Bugger. Ah well, at least I’ve got a load of snuff to console myself with.

That just happened to me too, @Koba. I did order a brown one, but would have much preferred a black 'un. Ah well.

@mr.snuff i cant find the measurements for it. Mind sharing the dimensions for the plastic snuffboxes? Thanks!!

Just received my brown one, it’s massive. @Madshock, it’s about 3 inches, by 2 inches, and an inch deep at it’s deepest point. I reckon it’d take 25g of snuff, probably more. It seals well enough, but I’d not store snuff in it for a prolonged period of time. Edit: After some time with Schmalzers there’s an outside chance that if you were a heavy, all day, first thing in the morning to last thing at night user, such a box might be practical.

To give people an idea of the sheer size of these…the black ones anyways…a single PC box fits inside of them, with room to spare. That’s not to say they are too big…fit nicely in the pocket. I recommend them.

@Spyro: What are those round contraptions? Tried looking for them at snuffstore to no avail, looks like they’re labelled “Snuffmaker” - can’t seem to find them or any info on them. Any info would be great, as they look nifty - thanks.

I’m not for the moment a big fan of distributor boxes, secially the Molen ones,witch is a good idea at the beginning,but not perfects with theirs tobacco grains, relativly thick . I love the concept of boxes like McC or WoS for example,a so précious litlle container.Out, I employ simply a pipe-tool foldable,extremly functional.

I picked up two of the light-brown flip-top boxes on my last order. Nifty 'lil boxes to have around and they store snuff fairly well. The size is perfect for loading up with a weekend’s worth of snuff if you’ll be away from your stash
