What do you have your snuff in at home?

My wife and I went to an estate sale locally and I found for NINETY CENTS ( all I had in pocket ) a very nice chrome plated container about 4 inches long, by 2 1/2 wide, by 1 1/4 inch tall, hinged top. I imagine that the old lady used it as a soap container for traveling? not sure. But one thing for sure. It is ideal for carrying about 25 gms or more of snuff, Or as I am going to do, leave it on my computer desk with the pumpkin pie spice blend I made from 2 tins of garrett’s sweet and spice in a emptied tea bag. It is fairly nice, but I have so much of it, it should take me a yr to use it all. I will try to post a photo of it.

Nothing wrong with the original tins Eric!

I just keep the bulk drums in fridge and large tins in 2 paper bags on bookself and smaller tins on bedside table.

I keep bulk in Mason Jars in the dark basement root cellar, extra tins taped at the seams and on the shelf in the closet upstairs, and rotation tins in a drawer in the dining room close to the table. And bulk hidden in buried mason jars in assorted locations in the back yard where only I know of the location.

Way to go Bart! I thought I was the only one with buried treasure.

@Bart: I bet the bees saw you bury it. As soon as I finish learning their language I will prise the info out of them.

@k5btp I have a metal detector that the kids have a lot of fun with in the back yard searching,haha! And Xander, Royal Jelly is what you want from the bees, not honey…that’s where it’s at!! They are under my control. I give them Dholakia White, and they give me jelly…even stephen

I have some snuffs over a year old in there original containers that despite being a little drier seem just fine to me

I have a shelf unit I scrounged from the 7up bottler that is about 2 ft by 16inches wide and 3 ft tall, I have one whole shelf full of old tins that I have gotten over the yrs. it has all kinds of lil containers in them. I love the christmas holidays because the dollar tree has xmas tins for a buck and I always grab a few for things like this. It is getting to the pt of ridiculous how much I now have. Best guess 1,000 or more gms. Now that is a bit much. But it sure is fun. I dont think I shall run out this spring. OH,one of my favorite tins is a Smith bros cough drops tin, and yes I have my TOQUE menthol in it. When that is empty I shall be getting 500gms of some Wilsons medicated variety…I have one I dont think I could afford to fill up. It is a NEW unused, or at least I hope so…Thunder Mug as we call them in the midwest. I think it would hold easily a kilo of snuff. TOO MUCH and too costly.

I have my Toque tins in their original ziploc bags, which are inside of airtight plastic bags, separated into categories to keep contamination to a minimum. The bags are in a laptop case I had laying around here. I sorted my homemade snuff into different types of plastic bags, and all of them are inside of an old backpack, together with the stuff I’ve bought locally. The snuff for everyday use is inside of glass vials and plastic boxes.

The Snuff Bar:

@LincolnSnuff , can I live in a cardboard box next to The Snuff Bar? I promise I’ll be clean. Jokes aside, I’m greatly impressed. I hope I can end up with a collection like that in not too much time, and that drawer looks like a chinese medicine box. It’s really beautiful.

That;s the way to do it man!

Menna, Im in that box, find your own.

I keep all my snuff in airtight baggies, in their original containers, in a larger airtight container, at the bottom of my fridge. This seems the safest way to keep it fresh long-term (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong :slight_smile: ) It’s getting out of control now though. There’s more snuff in my fridge than food!!! :smiley: I keep about 40 different types in a bag next to the coffee table for easy access when I want some variation. They’re either in their original tins or smash boxes, each also inside their own air-tight baggie.

@snuffster , sheesh, it looked like a lovely place to live. Well, how about we share it? That way the rent would be cut in half. What do you think? @OscarWabbit , that’s what I call being careful! They must be really fresh (LOL). Well, I’m sure keeping them cold is a good way to stabilise them (though you have to be careful not to make the liquids separate from the solids, but a normal fridge’s cold is probably OK). I guess I’ll do it too when I have a fridge of my own.

I keep mine in a old steamer chest sitting beside the wood burning stove.

gimpy you should never steam snuff.
