Pics of lost snuffs

@Jack, yes its still a popular snuff. That’s simply an old style tin there. Asthoroth was supposedly Latakia with Jasmine scenting. This little sample tube had no distinctive smell left inside when I got it, just vaugely floral. A fellow on youtube has attempted to replicate some version of Asthoroth using De Kralingse Latakia as a base, and a small measure of WoS Jasmine. Jasmine essential oil would probably work more accurately I think.

Why do you all have pictures of the snuffs i have lost?

i guess this is some “scotch snuff” - not sure.

even if it says “chewing tobacco” - the tins just looks like some good ol american scotch snuff

@prismaster I’m also not sure. Although, there is a traditional distinction in labelling between true chewning tobacco and snuff. I’m not famliar with that style of tin or brand of tobacco. I love the label though! Very 1910’s feeling!

The company was making snuff :slight_smile:

yeah, it is great. i really like this style too. as you say, i am sure it is around 1890 - 1910. about the label, it could be a bigger container for chewing tobacco as well but i have the feeling that it is a small container.
did they ever pack chew (loose leave or plug) in a metall can ?? i am not aware of that sort of packaging for chewing tobacco.

here we go with some long out-of-production Bernhard: Russischer Augentabak (what actually means: russian eye tobacco)

yes they did. I remember seeing I think it was mail pouch or red man in a metal tin from a long time ago.
