My wife just bought one of these so she can browse through my collection more easily to find something new to try: http://www.harborfreight.com/eight-drawer-wood-tool-chest-94538.html Gotta love 'er…
nice chest but it is a jewelery chest NOT a tool chest. Never in my life have I seen a tool box with felt lining, if any of my tool boxes had a felt lining it would get destroyed in less than a day.
It is a cheap copy of a Gestner tool box, used by machinists for storing precision measurement items like calipers, gauge blocks, dial gauges, and small endmills etc. Not something a carpenter or auto mechanic would likely need.
Very nice @Mouse, I have a couple of steel ones that are almost the same layout. It is a machinists box for sure
@MattheFox - growing up in the South I always saw people dipping snuffs. But I also knew originally dry snuff was sniffed. Interesting timeline. I wonder what caused the shift from nasal to oral use…
when I first started taking snuff, my wife told me that her grandmother and others in the family had used it. She couldn’t remember if it was used nasally or orally though.
@Slide (IMO) I believe it is a classic case of “Class Separation” Nasal snuff started being used by Aristocrats (wigs) and regular folks went to oral. If you were a working class, I doubt that you had time to clean your hands for a nice enjoyable pinch but it is easy to enjoy a dip and just spit. You would probably be considered snooty back then (Hoping I didn’t offend anyone)
I think I’am going to start carrying around a picture of a disected smokers lung and when a smoker says snuff is gross I’am going to show them the lung pic. For some reason it’s only smokers that think snuff is gross. Yeah sometimes I think people deserve to suffer for being willfully stupid. I have in the past said yeah you know you’re right it is way more disgusting then smelling like shit too the degree you can tell when a smokers walked in the room, cause that’s not gross at all.
actualy @MattheFox that probably explains why the “Ruling Class” (they may look like quotation marks but they’re really derision marks) pinched and the working class used the back of the hand method.
Doesn’t surprise me at all that our relatives put it in their mouths instead of their noses. Tell us to drive 55 and we’ll go 85. Sideways while texting. Also, I too have been surprised by the amount of comments I get from friends who tell me about their grandparents and snuff. And on a side note, Been in contact with my Swisher regional manager. He says snuff is a southern thing. He will get me in touch with the one distributer anywhere near me and I would probably have to purchase in quantity. Seems that’s all he can do in this region. He has been helpful and has responded earnestly to my inquires. And with enthusiasm. So I can’t fault the company. Guess they can’t help if no one wants it? I did send him a link to this site/thread.
@Hamlet Maybe you can ask him what snuffs are still in production.
To comment on the same thread: I went into my local Smoker Friendly… I asked the store owner if she could get any of the new Toque USA… She gave me a really dirty look… She folded he arms over her chest and just said, " Do you really think I give a damn about this crap?"
Maybe they should rename it Snuff Unfriendly. 
Kind of funny how people who use the foulest form of tobacco (cheap-o cigs), would find snuffing disgusting.
I think they put something in the cigs that causes that reaction. 
=))
For a company that doesn’t make snuff, Navy Sweet is some beautiful stuff.
@bipolarbear1968 The article is about the claim that their snuff is designed for oral use not nasal use. I love Swisher snuffs and will always use them nasally rather than orally
Not all of the old-timers used scotches orally. This poster’s grandmother used to use Garrett snuff nasally: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/WVHARDY/2012-09/1348362908 I’ve tried contacting Swisher to find out if they’ve stopped making certain snuffs–no response.
I haven’t heard back from them either. I might call them next week if I don’t get a response by Friday. Great article

@Hamlet: that’s the guy I e-mailed to find out which snuffs were still in production. No response.

Hmmm. I have an email response from him and he took my call personally first try. I called the end of last week and he was at some industry trade show. Maybe that’s why? Try his number, nothing to loose.
