So I got the German silver snuff box I ordered from Ted Cash today. Initially I ordered it with the intention of keeping snuff in it, but I really don’t think it is tight enough for that. When I placed the order I did have my doubts about how well it would hold snuff. I am also a dipper so I figured I could use it for that as a back up plan. The directions that came with the snuff box suggest that I place the whole can in the box. As in remove the lid from the dip and put the plastic bottom half that holds the dip in the box. The problem is that it fits so tightly that it is a real struggle to remove the used can from the snuff box. I would like to just pour the tobacco in the box but I don’t know if it would pick up any taste from sitting in it for a couple days. Does anyone have any experience with this? Would the dip pick up any metallic taste? One other question for my fellow dippers. Does anyone notice a difference between the taste of Skoal fine cut wintergreen and Skoal longcut wintergreen. To me the longcut is much much sweeter. Almost too sweet. I really like the full tobacco flavor of the fine cut with just enough wintergreen in the background. I wish the longcut was more like that because the fine cut is a little hard to keep in place and removing the dip can be difficult. I don’t know maybe it’s just me…I guess thats why I’m asking.
The German Silver is made of an alloy of copper, Nickel and zinc. when I carry snuff in mine I have a clean skoal can in it. the label that was inside the lid is long gone so I put a peice of vynal contact paper in the lid, cut to fit. I haven’t had any snuff leak, but if the lid is left on for a long lenghth of time the german silver will tarnish and stick. As for the taste of wintergreen I realy don’t like any of them, sours my stomach, probilly because I don’t spit. when I was dippin I use either Cope or Redseal fine cut natural. Ed
Have you got a link for this store?
@snuffster…if i’m not mistaken this is the link http://www.tdcmfgstore.com/agora.cgi?product=Boxes
The new copenhagen wintergreen might be what your looking for little lighter on the wintergreen if I remember right.
Yeap that’s the link. I bought mine on ebay for a little more than his dirrect prices. going to buy a couple more with Eagles on the lids. edm
I am really enjoying this Ted Cash box.
@GOHAWKS are you using this as a pocket or table snuff box?
@FishTix cheers
I am using it to hold my dip and keeping it in my back pocket . I think that I will just buy a Tripletech Snuff Box for my nasal snuff.
Right on…that sounds like a sweet set up…nice find!!
I bet the “Pill or cap box” would work pretty well for nasal snuff. I bought the snuff tin and, despite not being for nasal snuff and way too huge, used it for awhile just because. Seemed resistant to leaking, anyways.
