What is your favorite type of container
Submitted by renaissance man on Wed, 07/18/2007 - 11:25.
Since there are a few types of containers used by manufacturers to package their snuff I think it would be interesting to hear which types our forum members enjoy the most.
1 A round can with removable lid?
2 Credit card shape with a flip top?
3 Credit card shape with removable lid?
Most importantly why did you choose this one?

What is your favorite type of container
I prefer the round container, it's just a shame they are not threaded to enable a screw top lid. I'm not keen on the ones that dispense the snuff a little at a time and find it easier to empty those types into spare round tins to enable easier filling of my 'Wilsons of Sharrow' wooden snuff boxes as required.

Containers
I agree. Wilson's box is very practical. I have recently ordered and received a second one.
They can be obtained from here.............

I am not sure whether or not they deliver outside UK.
May the use of the "Holy Dust," increase!

I like the removable covered lid. There is just something special to me about being able to work with the tobacco using my fingertips versus attempting to sprinkle it out. Much more pleasing in my opinion.

Favourite Dispenser
Until recently I would have agreed with you guys that the traditional tin where you can feel the snuff would have been my favourite, however, I am becoming a bigger fan of the flip top dispensers. I think this is because I have changed my snuffing technique.
I always used to snuff between my index finger and thumb but have now changed to using the anatomical snuffbox and find that the flip top dispensers are ideal for tapping the right dose out, to be lovingly snuffed up the nozzer!

favorite dispenser
I also prefer to sniff off the back or my hand, rather than pinch. The flip tops work pretty well for me, but my favorite type is the round "twist the two halves to expose the hole" type. I wish I could find something nice in silver or pewter. Something nicer than my collection of old Dean Swift tins, which is what I'm using now. It does get old playing "Which SP tin is the SP, and which SP tin is the O&G, and which SP tin is the Kendal Brown, etc......."

Twist tins
Those twist tins are great but only when the exit hole for the tobacco is actually big enough for the tobacco to exit. Eventually I will have my own snuff boxes so I can begin mixing my own custom blends.

I guess that the option
I guess that the option number 2 is the best for me, I use this kind of container because most of them are very nice too see, and affodable to carry.
