I am thinking about buying another snuffbox and considering one of these or the wooden one with the magnets from My Smoking Shop. Just wondered if they are any good, do they leak do they warp, which one would be best, does anyone have any thoughts on this subject.
I have the Wilson box and it has a nice tight fit. The only complaint that I would have is it’s a little large to carry in your pocket all day.
The WoS boxes are absolutely trouble free and as shooter says a great fit, but yes they are a little to big for comfort. The best boxes of the sliding lid variety are onefortheroad (Pat Collins) boxes. Superb, a great size and beautiful workmanship, if you don’t own one I would really recommend them. The traditional flip top rose wood boxes are very good as well, I have three, all do the job perfectly and are a good size. I think Mcgahey’s carry them at the moment. My all time favourite though is one from Walsh Brothers, a South of England silver smiths. Although a bit pricey at £50 they do a beautiful silver snuff box, hand engraved and nice and compact. If you google them the box can be found on the pill box section under reproduction silver.
@ snuffster - I have two onefortheroad boxes but unlike most people i am finding i have to fill them a couple times a day which is good for me because i simply move onto another snuff anyway but i would like a larger box as i have found some great all day snuffs recently i would love a larger box to fulfill this function. Sounds like the Wilsons box will do nicely thanks for the info.
I like to travel with my Wilsons’ box, since it says “Snuff” on the lid, which makes security checks easier :o) For home use I switch between silver and porcelain table boxes, and for the pocket I often use - pocket boxes :o)
the wos box will be perfect for you then al, if you want a slightly larger one. i would guess they hold twice the amount of a pat collins box
