I don’t know that’s only two pixels per can there about!
It’s an ample size. We don’t want members posting street poster sized images that bring up the scroll bars.
I regularly claim I have snuff over 30 years old thats in good condition because I have and it’s never been in a freezer just airtight jars. Try it, just put some aside for a few years.
As said earlier, I have quit working on building my collection,which I did to quite an extant at one time, now I am refining my collection, to only Indian snuffs, and ones I really like. I’m a light snuffer anyway and one 50g tub would last me a lifetime I think. So my now small collection will last me many times over as it is. I have(one of each): 5 Photo Himalaya, Super Himalaya, Special, Raja. And 6 Photo Kailesh, Super Kailesh, Special, Anarkali. And Dholakia Taj, Herbal, and Blast Strong menthol. And TAS Madras Snuff, and Sugandhsagar Rose. And a little Toque Menthol and that’s all I have. I would like to get some UMA and Arora, and some other hard to find Indian snuffs.
Just thought id leave my pititful collection here
not bad. I don’t collect snuf it goes up my nose and disapears.
Haha same, I used to have 20+ Tins.
I’m moving all the refrigerated tins to a wardrobe, a good opportunity for pics. Here’s what was in the fridge: http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z24/OscarWabbit/0714624e.jpg Here’s my bulk. The large jar holds 600g and the other jar holds 400g. The L260 jar is 200g. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z24/OscarWabbit/03f339ba.jpg I’m currently upgrading all my Toques (in the yellow tins) to 600g jars. I’ve also bought lots of jars and spray painted them black. Aim is to get all bulk in to these types of jars (except the Scotches). I need about another 10 jars in both 600g and 400g. Will also get more 200g jars. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z24/OscarWabbit/f4a88329.jpg I should have 10 x 600g Toques by the end of next week. *big grin* Edit: just bought 4 more 600g jars, which need spraying black before use. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z24/OscarWabbit/5fbc7e99.jpg
My current collection: http://imageshack.us/m/822/1140/img5512i.jpg The jars, from left to right: 5 Photo Himalaya, TAS Madras, Swastik, Bordeaux, McC O&G, 6 Photo Super Chetak, WoS Tom Buck, Toque Vanilla. In the tins behind the jars: 6 Photo Cheetah, 6P Arankali, 6P Kailash, 6P Super Kailash. plus various half-empty tins not shown here.
Shamelessly insouciant treatment of the lovely stuff. About 30 sorts? Bulk SG SP in a cupboard.
@PikeMopers I have a lot of those same containers in my pantry and spice cabinet! The one your Madras is in is the best for long term storage of bulk snuffs. That one looks like it could hold 100g. The rest, I don’t think will keep airtight as you hope. The canning jars only make a good seal when they are sealed the first time (under pressure). I’ve used the spice jars myself, and they are ok for temporary solutions.
I use canning jars (mason jars) to store my pipe baccy for years and I assure you that as long as you screw the lid on tight they will be air tight no matter how many times you use it and without having to pressure seal it, you just have to make sure its on tight. If they weren’t airtight all of my pipe baccy would be mouldy but they are not mouldy they are perfect, thats how I know they have a good seal and cannning jars are excellent for long term storage.
i use mason jars as well … i have 1/2 pints and pints … double lids, and agree with n9n … just insure they are on tightly.
@Xander the ones that aren’t in the best containers are ones I’m likely to empty over the next few months, they aren’t for aging or anything. I use jars that are too big because I’m poor, I basically just clean out food jars once they’re empty. At least they’re better than tins!
This is my entire snuff collection right now:
@tom502 … Spicey!!! 
or … Spicy!!! (e or no e?)
@tom502 I’ve never seen that Sugandhsagar snuff. What’s it like and how did you get your hands on it?
Thanks. I wanted to say yes to an “e”, but a Google says no. I used to hoard snuff, and had a ton, but I want to refine it to only Indian snuff, because I like them best, am an Indophile, and really, that’s more that enough to last me forever. Pike, I got that at a local Indian shop. It’s OK, very fine grind, but a decent smooth rose with a very slight coolness.
Tom can you please resize that image, I can’t download it at all, but would like to see it. 2 Megs is way too big for a photo. Try to get it under 500k, thanks.
Here’s Tom’s picture:
