What is the gram weight of a WoS “small tin”, as one UK supplier sells it. Are there small , medium, and large tins of WoS snuffs. How does one know the quantity of WoS snuff one is purchasing in a “small tin” ? I’m only familiar wih Nic Rush, which clarifies WoS products as 10 gram or 25 gram tins.
It’s a 5g tin.
Nice picture!
I love these small tins. That’s all I’ve been buying lately.
I detest/hate ALL WoS tins. But…I LOVE the contents!
Right? What’s it take? Roderick, can you sell them some of your tins? I lose half of the contents of my WoS tins, even after dropping them flat on a surface.
Drop them two or three times. I’ve learned how to deal with them. I don’t spill them anymore. Although a flat lid would be an improvement.
A flat lid would be nice.
With a screw top perhaps.
How long has Wilsons had its current tin design?
@cstokes4, 12 million years. And they still have 1,012,369,831,963 in stock.
I don’t mind them. But I usually snuff when I am at work at my desk, or home at the computer desk, or watching TV next to the coffee table.
@toffeenose, I also love things that can screw. So much better and keep the flavour in for longer. Also no waste if used correctly.
F&T.
Haven’t you noticed the same tins are used by a number of snuff manufacturers Mcrystal’s and Samuel Gawith used them before the tap out plastic boxes.
Oddly I lose more snuff with the toque tins. Then again I always tap my tins against my hand a few times. Or even spining the tin by taping the sides seems to get it all flat.
@Bob, with all due respect, how do manage to do that? I’ve never lost any snuff from a Toque tin.
You can, if you dig in deep to get a pinch and it displaces snuff over the edges. I just have to remember to be careful.
Wilsons of Sharrow tins are now my favourite type. I hate all tap out dispensers and decant them into empty Wilsons tins - I like to pinch all snuffs except the fluffy German types. The problem with Toque tins is they are too fragile and bend and flex too much until the thread becomes useless. F&T tins are good until they are half full, then they need decanting.
