Those are not the Mr .Snuff Snuffhouse boxes. These boxes are longer and much shallower than the Snuffhouse boxes. I have one and find them too shallow to pinch from. Mr. Snuff used to sell these but everyone complained about the size so he had the much better sized Snuffhouse boxes made, which are sadly no longer available.

The Mr. Snuff snuffboxes were smaller than the box you posted, they are actually discontinued but one shop in China sells one model quite, ehem, similar right now, you can find it here https://snuffshop.cn/abs-p0051.html

Regarding the quality some fellow snuffers in this forum have bought them and so far are very happy with them.

I wish that the shipping costs were a bit more reasonable (they want to charge me 31 USD for delivering 1 single snuffbox to SPAIN! ) so be aware that the shipping costs are very pricey.

I can vouch for that.I have one of the snuffboxes wulfensteinsson mentioned and crazy shipping cost or not, i think it’s well worth it. It’s my all day box and would get another in a heartbeat if it were ever lost.

Thanks everyone, I thought it was too good to be true, hopefully those ones in China will stay in stock long enough for me to buy one or 5!

I’ve just received one of the new Snuffhouse snuff boxes from Mr. Snuff. I usually just pinch out of tins, but I do like this box. I’ll never use the tap opening, but the lid is big enough for pinching from. The box is approximately 1 15/16" long by 1 3/8" wide by 3/4" tall. So big enough, but not big enough to be cumbersome.

While the top cover by the hinge is not quite tight enough to 100% contain White Elephant, I don’t think any coarser grind will leak (and even WE doesn’t leak much).

For $6.99 US, I think it’s a good deal, though this one came free with my last order.

I’m liking mine too, the larger plastic boxes are just too big for me while this will hold a days snuff for me very well.

I’ve now got a few of these and they’re really rather good. You can get a whole McChrystal’s mini tin in one with room to spare, so I’m guessing they have a capacity of about 5g. They still have a ‘De ster en de lilie’ design on the lid. I think they’re great. The only problem is the shipping to the UK - it’s $21. So either buy in bulk or add a few to another order.

I also got from them two of their heavy brass screwtop snuffboxes and a bright metal (aluminium?) Rococo box. They’re substantial objects.
