Every time I empty a Toque can I keep it. They are handy to have around and I keep other snuff in them as well. I also do this with the Samuel Gawith dispenser’s. I am getting to where I prefer the “backdoor” method of taking snuff and I reuse these dispensers all the time. I was simply wondering if anyone else does this?
I use old tins, mostly small 5g and 10g ones from Wilsons and McCrystals and kept few Toque tins for same purpose. They’re handy to-go snuffboxes. All my snuff nowadays comes in bulk or 21-32g tins, which are awkward to carry around.
Yes, but we want you to live the life of luxury. If you prefer snuffing off the back of your hand you should get one of those German snuff boxes. The ones with the dowels. You can thank me later (unless you lose it).
juxtaposer; Funny you should mention that, I am looking at one right now and thinking about getting it.
I destroy all Samuel Gawith dispensers so that they cannot be used again. I also destroy Gawith Hoggath sneeze boxes. I do keep all my round tins, until they get bent or rusted. Most of my GH and SG snuffs are immediatley transferred to these as soon as they come available.
Where can I find the German snuff dispenser with the dowels?? I am a back of the hand type fellow…
Sniff: You can get them here…http://www.snuffstore.co.uk
As far as I’m concerned, Toque should also sell empty tins (perhaps as a bundle with economy bags?) - they’re absolutely top notch.
Any ideas on how to remove the original scent from a plastic bullet dispenser? Just finished one that had previously held QWS Sandalwood and wanted to carry some bulk snuff around in it. As much as I love Sandalwood, it just doesn’t go with Toque Toffee.
I keep old containers of all types just as a collection. I’ve been using the same old Packard’s Club plastic boxes for years. Just snap them open and refill with your favorite snuff. Cheaper than the fancy wooden dowel design and has yet to break or leak.
I keep the 10g toque tins as they are excellent for re use. Oh the Gawith Hoggarth sneeze boxes do come in handy for a short quick supply box when you just want to go out.
A GOOD TIP:-
The Print easily washes off. Then you have a nice mirror, to check you haven’t a Hitler Moustache! You will look lovely with a suntanned face!
Mr_Snuffypants Here is a link to How to Remove Bad Odors from Plastic Food Containers http://tinyurl.com/325d8eh they’ve got some pretty good ideas there.
I always carry a box of Ozona President just for the mirror finish, its smaller than the GH boxes so its easier on the pockets.
Done that Too, but concave will distort your face.
convex
Your correct Alex. And so was I. Concave is as a cave to go inward. But my computer tools said different; I’ll smash it!
@Mr Snuffy Pants - in addition to the ideas in the article posted by outbackblackjack, I have a few others that work for me (particularly for pasta sauce smell + stains on plastic containers). First, time and temperature are always conducive to improving chemical reactions, so LONGER soak times and hotter water (but not too hot, it is just plastic, after all) are always better. Here is my multi-level protocol. If the first level doesn’t work, go to the second, etc. 1. baking soda and borax - in hot water, soak for a couple of days. Obviously rinse very well (but borax isn’t dangerous). I also put in a drop of dish detergent just to make sure that the plastic is wetted well. This works for me probably 70% of the time. 2. white vinegar - I just use it cut 50% from the jug, again soaking for a day or two. You will need to follow it with step 1 again to ensure that there are no lingering vinegar odors. 3. hydrogen peroxide - I use the 3% stuff from the drugstore, full strength. Put the item in as small a glass jar as possible, with an airtight lid, with the peroxide. You might have to do it a couple or three times, maybe 24 hours each, depending on the severity of the “infiltration.” Using all these, I have recovered 100% of my plastic food containers, and removed tomato, paprika and other stains. BTW, if you are concerned with stains from stuff like paprika or turmeric, rubbing the item with any decent vegetable oil, letting that sit a few hours, then washing with dish soap works nearly every time for me, although it doesn’t necessarily remove odors. Now I feel like some sort of “Household Tips” lady… Regards, Geraldo
I reuse all my snuff tins to give out samples to my fellow and new snuffers so to keep from giving all my smash boxes away. I have used several of the methods listed above with perfect results, except for the clove tins, they were hopeless and I was blown away at how strong and resilient that clove odor can be!
@outbackblackjack & Geraldo Many thanks! I ended up filling the bullet with 5 Photo, figuring that it would overpower the Sandalwood. It did and was a life saver at work yesterday. Wouldn’t have made it through eight hours of drudgery without. Amazing how a few sniffs of Snuff can help save my sanity.
Just to remind people to check condition of recycled tins regularly, otherwise you might end up snuffing rust! Guess constant refills of relatively moist bulk snuff corrodes tins.
