forgot about this thread. i knocked over my White Elephant the other day… then tried to hoover it up with my little USB keyboard hoover (its useless really, but it picks up the majority of the snuff from my keyboard). that pretty much weaponised it, since the snuff was fine enough to go through the filter and into the fan. room off limits for a good while… that made my eyes water.
10g Toque natural toast. Dumped about half of it on my carpet. Luckily I was sat here on the floor at the time. Two playing cards scooped it up nicely and got it back in the tin without much loss. Going to have some now. :))
Not today, but last week 25g tin of WoS SM500 opened in my briefcase. I was able to recover 10g +/-. Now my case smells great but anything that goes in gets dusted despite multiple cleanings.
I have had my share of snuff spillage situations. I believe the worst was the very first tin of snuff I ever bought, Silver Dollar Natural. I had only used about a gram of it and ended up accidentally losing two grams of it. The contains that were wasted fell into an area of mulch and shrubs and was far from salvageable. However, the only positive was that I had the foresight to purchase multiple tins.
Snuffbox full of IHT 22, all over my coat and the car. Almost a 100% loss, have about half a gram left, maybe.
Lol funny seeing this post. I had a 10g tap tin of Bernard Aecht Altbayerischer Schmalzler in a side pocket of my dickeys shorts, where my smokes use to reside. I was just lamenting to my wife earlier how much i loved the slide design of bernards tap tins, this clever slide being my bane in this posting, only to stick my fingers into a five gram mess in my pocket later when i got home from a simple electrical job. man what a kick in the ol’ coin purse that was, had that tin less than a day at that point…lol, so fresh so smokey. ah that’s the way the snuff tin leakith though…
Spilt my whole 5g smashbox of Dr. Rumney’s… least it was on a semi hard surface salvaged 2/3 of it. so there’s honor in redemption.
Toque Spanish Gem
Just started to enjoy this, when I first got this didn’t like it, but gave it a second chance and really enjoyed it…
I was trying to get the tin to thread when it slipped and half went on my clothes and half on the table… was able to salvage a few good pinches, and now my small 20M sq office will have an intersting smell.
The last couple grams of SWS Moro Moro after I finished moving the bulk to a glass vial for storage.

Berwick Brown, full 25g tin… now scooped back in again plus a few dog hairs no doubt. Ah well, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger… ps if you drop your “Toast” on the floor, does it land butter side down?..ok I’ll get my coat

Not necessarily spilled it, definitely ruined a tin of toque usa lime just a bit ago. I took everything out of my pockets, except the tin and jumped into the pool. The toque tins are pretty hardy, but not waterproof.
