sounds kind of like aluminum oxide (the byproduct of aluminum corrosion). do they make their containers out of aluminum?
Or heās changing a diaper at the same time heās typing.
No, Iām answering things on my new smartphone and it keeps double posting these things. Is that what youāre talking about or did I put my foot in my mouth some other way?
No, just the double posts.
I got this new free Motorola Q9h to test for a year and Iāve been trying out the web browser, but it always double posts any replies I post to snuffhouse. Iāll try to figure out whatās going on.
Here are 3 pics. You can see the flakes whatever they are and also how it got into the snuff.
dear god man, i wouldnāt use that snuff based on the condition of the tin alone. the threads look like theyāve got something growing on them.
Thanks guys, Iāll email Wilsonās tomorrow and see what they have to say. All my other F&T are clean and dry. Donāt know what happened with this one. LOL I told you it was bad!
Be sure to add the pictures in the email. Also let them know where you bought it. Maybe they will make it right with you? From the looks of it, I would say the lid wasnāt very tight against the seal during its storage. Unless they accidentally spilled the tin before mailing it, & instead of replacing it they just swept it off of the floor along with muffin crumbs, finger nail clippings & laughing the whole time.
that is gross. not the chips I thought you where talking about. Iāve noticed that in princes tins there where flakes that looked like crystals and actualy had a very plesant scent to them. They where somewhat whitish not bone white. Definatly looks like corrosion to me. maybe something in the snuff reacts to the metal after a time.
Sent this morning. Letās see what they say. LOL Trout, everybody knows nobody sweeps the floor 
It actually looks more like a goldsmith blew a nose full of cyanide all over it!
MMMMMMM cyanide. All it needs now is to be infused with vapor of mercury.
Hay it does look like the crystals that form on aluminum from cyanide gas. I used to see this a lot on aluminum parts on industrial equipment used in aluminum plants. I canāt see that they would use cyanide in a tobacco packaging plant.
Maybe the prince itās named after was trying to build an immunuty to diffrent poisons.
Apparently there was a goldsmith visiting doing some gold inlay for snuffboxes in the factory, and at the same time there was a tradesman putting in a set of mercury vapor lamps to light up the work area. Anyway after doing a whole tin of HDT the mercury vapor started getting to the goldsmith and he finally couldnāt hold it in anymore so he blew his nose all over some tins of Princes waiting to go outā¦and this, combined with the mercury vapor from the new lamps and the cyanide from the gold smelting was enough to cause the problem. I was one of the unlucky ones who got a tin from this batch. In all seriousness not making too much progress here. Anybody in good with Wilsonās?
Ask for Debbie!
Ring the sales team as opposed to emailing them, the details and numbers are on the web site
Of course by this time on a Friday afternoon theyāre probably all in that pub on Eccleshall Roadā¦
This is a small family run business in Yorkshire. They are working on it, just donāt expect a reply until they know what is going on 
Lol Tony thereās plenty to choose from in that area if memory serves and a casino too as well as the one near the dogtrack. Stefan
