Being new, I was wondering what some of you old snuffers use when out and about. Right now I have a bullet and will sometimes carry a tin. But I like to have a day or two of sheer variety, but I have no idea what to use.
Thanks

Im not an old timer. But this is on my keychain, and I carry 3 bullets with me and atleast a 10g tin just in case.
This thing holds quite a bit surprisingly (Im guessing at least 5 grams), and its my first aid kit of snuff. (Air tight and water tight). Mine is silver btw.
5g smash box and a snot rag. That’s it.
Snuff box and a couple of smash boxes
At the moment I carry a little canvas army bag with me containing a couple of 5g smash boxes, a snus can and a hanky. Today I have also thrown in an 8g can of Anarkali.
I always have a snuff box on my desk at work as well.
5 triple techs in my laptop bag. But out and about only one Triple Tech or two or three bullets on the golf course. Oh - and a hanky.
About 10 different snuffs in a Crown Royal bag. Â
A filled silver snuff box and a handkerchief. What else could I need?
I carry 2 or 3 small tins of snuff, medicated and toast, with me and a tin of makla. Some snuffs I only take at home.
When i first started I promptly picked up a few nice wooden snuff boxes and metal bullet. I was very self concious of using snuff in public with a pinch or off the back of the hand method. I was afraid people would think I was picking at my nose or doing rails of coke off my hand…I found the bullet tricky to use at first because even the lightest of inhalations would catch my throat. I also would decant my new snuff into the snuff boxes to be more “professional”
I have learned that there are many ways to take snuff and you can find a way that works for you, so it’s not catching the back of your throat. So I don’t use the bullet nearly anymore. I also stopped using my wooden snuff boxes, because it dried out my snuff or the aroma would drift away…so
I just take a ziploc bag with about 6 different kinds every day now, a nice handkerchief, maybe my spoon…and take pinches whereever I am. If someone has an issue or a question or a funny look I’m happy to share with them what’s going on.
So out and about, just grab your favorite tin at the moment, grab a nice handkerchief ( not white of course ) and away you go. Poschl’s tap boxes are excellent for ease and portability. Gletscher Prise comes to mind.
I have often thought about making a small “ammo belt” loaded with snuff bullets, but that would just be silly.
currently mine is just an old Marlboro Snus tin filled with whatever scotch I have at the moment and my brown hanky. I used to use a small glass bottle with a rubber stopper but I recently got the pinch method down so it’s not so messy.
At work, I always bring with me 4 or 5 items, usually reused Toque tins with;Â
An SP
An Indian yellow type (Super Chetak, Swastik or Sparrow)
A Toast
A Plain and coarse
When there is a fifth, it’s usually a German tap box or a plastic bottle filled with some Schmaltzer
I like the fact that each time I get to reach my tins I actually have to pause a bit, look at my choices and pick the one to my liking.
i just crap a tin or two. at least one tin is in a pocket of both jackets everytime to secure my steady supply in all life situations. ^^
Snuff box in left front pocket and burgundy hanky in left rear pocket. That’s it. Decant each morning right before I leave for the office.
Like @thorgrimnr said, Poschl tapboxes are very convenient for using snuff when out and about. I often refill empty Poschl boxes with other snuffs too - gently prise them apart and they can be reused several times. Ozona President boxes are particularly good for this purpose, as the mirrored case means you can check your nose afterwards, so you’re not walking around in public with a dusty nose!
I carry a Tobacco backpack. It contains-one flat, pipe Tobacco, ryo, snuff, chew, dip, makla, pipes, a good book, various adhesives, hardcandy, a ponch, self stable food suffs, etc. This goes to work w/me each day. I like to always have whatever the mood strikes. When i’am out and about though, it is usally just a kurchive and one smashbox.
You have to have been in the Boy Scouts @Potpoe Very impressive!
True. I get nervous when i have less than a six months supply of nicotine on my persons. Plus, i like to have anything needed for a given situation. It helps to have understanding co-workers.
On a day to day basis, I carry just one snuffbox and two brown handkerchiefs. Mostly at the moment, I use a lightly mentholated/camphorated toast as my all day and now and again just a plain coarse snuff. My variety time is evenings, when I indulge in snuffs that I would not care to take throughout the day.Â
never take only one snuff with you. What if you drop or spill it.
