Package convenient for carrying, your thoughts on this

X

I have one that’s a matter of curiosity. I noticed packaging of snuff has a large variety… Of snuff packaging, what sort do you find convenient to carry on your person, and where (pants, shirt, jacket, etc)?

P

i go with snuff in tap-boxes, use my refillable plastic box or the Pöschel Automatikbox, all are fine for on the run. I use a bullet too and all small tins are fine for me when i am on the run.

L

Bullets for me. The variety of styles and colors keeps me knowing what’s in where. I’ll also re-label as needed. Also tap-boxes. Front trouser pocket, left side.

S

I find the small WoS tins surprisingly trustworthy, I often use them to carry snuff from bulk since I have a lot of them from my Wilson’s sampling days. In the two years or so I’ve been using snuff I’ve never had one open in my pocket.

P

For work, hard wood tap box (dowel), filled dailey, in upper left hand jacket pocket together with snuff hanky

T

PC box or original tin (WoS or Toque 10g) or smashbox, usually in lower waistcoat pockets, hanky in top left w/coat pocket.

@petersuki I had never seen one of these before you mentioned it. Reminds me of a medieval version of a Pez dispenser. Cool info, thanks!

G

Toque ten gram tin or Wilson’s five gram tin in the little change pocket of my jeans.

W

Either original tins, heartwood box or PC box. Stefan

A Patrick Collins double box. Perfection. and maybe a McChrystals Minor tin. Or two.

W

No wait! Two Patrick Collins double boxes . Perfection. and maybe a McChrystals Minor tin. Or two.

K

A gold plated silver box in your waistcoat pocket?

B

I’ve been using an empty NTSU plastic tin. They seal reasonably well and are bigger than a smashbox.

T

ALWAYS:PC Tripletech filled daily with a day’s worth of Tom Buck and with my @ddavelarsen -made custom brass spoon in it! And I always carry either a smashbox of Grand Cairo or: Occasionally: Heartwood snuffbox filled with Toque W&H or some other snuff. With another smashbox of course. I ALWAYS have my PC with TB in it though.

@Bart Any issues picking up a plastic smell from it?

B

No, none at all!. I’ve used the smaller black smashboxes, but I like the bigger lip and tin of NTSU for my big clumbsy fingers. If anything, I had to keep like- scented snuffs in the same smashboxes…So sometimes they pick-up the stronger snuffs aroma, even after scrubbing (for me, that is) .

J

PC teak box with a scotch, and then a few tins of different snuffs. Carrying isn’t a big problem, I drive a desk for a living…

B

I love the toque tins. They dont leak any snuff at all. Bullets are convenient but I dont get a full flavour with them so I only put scotches/toasts in them. Keep the bullets in the shirt pocket and the tin and my smokes in the jacket pocket.

I had two tins in my pocket, once, and managed to slam said pocket in a car door. One was a Toque tin the other a small WoS type. The Toque tin bent, but stayed true while the other busted open and released its flowery contents into my pocket. Both types work great, though. I usually empty what I need into a snuff box, sometimes even from a ten gram tin.
