They are on Mr. Snuff. I picked up 2 of them last order. These are very nice. Heavy plastic and they have a little hole on the side that can be opened to pour snuff out. Right now, they are on sale for $5.95. They are awesome. 6 bucks is probably the cheapest snuff box that I have ever seen. I will probably buy more very soon.
I bought two more as soon as the first arrived, very good value.
how do they compare with the bernards version? I have not actually seem them side by side.
In shape and design, identical and from the same mould I would say. The beige coloured ones are made from a plastic that is slightly lighter in weight. The Bernard ones are that black industrial type plastic that rubbish bins are made of.
In use there is no practical difference, but I find the Bernard one has a nicer, more robust feel to it. In normal use it would take decades to wear either one out and unless they were seriously misused they would never fail. Without doubt the best snuffboxes, penny for penny, on the market.
I have not tried any of the brightly coloured ones.
They are nice snuffboxes, and can’t be beat for the money, but I do wish they were a bit smaller.
Good to know. I will see what I can do re the size.
Would a smaller box = smaller price?
@Harlequin: it cost $1200 to set up the mold…so we have to get it right first time. I am trying to get 6 colors, maybe 100 of each. The price would be about the same I suppose, maybe a few cents cheaper if I get them a few cents cheaper per box, but certainly a box half the size would not be half the price. But they are still cheap or should I say great value for money
So the next question is: what would be the perfect size?
I agree, they are already dirt cheap in price, but so am I so I had to ask, lol.
Definitely half the size and in plain black (making them approx the same size as Pat Collins boxes); they could be a standard for years to come like that, like the papier mache boxes of old.
I just found out I can get the MrSnuff logo added…unless anybody has any objections? Naturally i think that would be REALLY cool, but I will admit to a certain bias.
Still need an ideal size. I am thinking maybe 2" long and proportionality wide?
Snuffster: are you up early, or up late? Is it not Oh-dark-thirty where you are?
Lol, I’m up very late, way past me bedtime.
If you had a logo on the boxes go for embossed, the first thing I did with my Bernard box was remove the sticky label that just made it look tatty, without they are very sleek. Personally I have to say they would look best blank.
and now I’m off to bed:)
I agree with Snuffster, something the size of a Pat Collins box would be marvelous. As they are, they’re a decent size, but I think something smaller would be better and would be a nicer fit in the pocket etc.
I really like them as is. A bit deeper would be preferred, since my fat fingers seem to cause a bit of spillage. I definitely plan to buy more whether the size changes or not.
Some of the French Flip top snuff boxes are about the right size. 2.5 x 1.5 with .5" minimum usable depth
The very best of snuff box designs, the flip top. Probably a tricky set-up of tools and high skill operators are needed to make one, hence the only ones available these days having sliding lids, it’s about time some master snuff box maker like PC took the genre onwards.
I found the Bernards boxes too big to be of much use, so I’d go for the smaller version too.
Dude I love the plastic boxes just the way they are. I can’t think of a thing that can improve them. I love this neon green one that I have.
I think the multi-colored boxes are around 2.36 inches by 1.18 inches x .4 inches. (6cm X 3 cm x 1 cm) I had asked jazzi_mike the dimensions a while back and he was kind enough to provide them.
The brown box one that was on the site was huge.
