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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
One slightly battered silver snuffbox filled with something strong and plain - most usually quit or a toque toast. Very occasionally one of my own snuffs.
Are you guys washing your hankees everyday? Or do you only use it for sneezes catching you off guard. Ive found when I want or need to clear my nose I can just pop into the bathroom quick and use TP,
So I have decided to try just carrying 1 tin of choice and one of the containers @johnny suggested for a scotch. I will leave my snuffing craziness to when I am home. :)
I carry an igloo cooler that holds a six pack of sodas, with about 10-20 various snuffs with me at all times. There has been a time or two that I left the house with just one or two, but that has been very rare. I'm still nursing my habit and too afraid to get caught without much choice.
@bob Luckily, I live in a part of the world where I can go to to corner shop and buy more, all be it from a limited selected of JH Wilsons or JH Wilsons. Can't think when was the last time I spilt my snuff stash though.
Generally I'll take a Toque or a WoS in its original tin in my lunchbag, but I always carry my Patrick Collins snuffbox loaded with scotch as my main to-go...
I went out to the casino last nite with some Toque chocolate, Spanish Gem and my little snuff tin full if Carharts Sweet. Ended up only using Chocolate for the nite. :)
I have one drawer of my jeweler's bench dedicated to snuff and there are usually a few on the top of the bench itself. I'm rarely away from home/work but when I am I just bring a couple of bullets or my triple-tec.
I'm with bob and pot poe...I carry a little of everything I have with me in a wide-top, double-zippered bag with other items. All in a shoulder bag with stuff carried for work (lunch, hard hat, water and various knives). I like variety...it is the spice of life.
Normally just one or two snuffs. If I go on vacation or something I'll bring 4 mason jars with QUIT, Grand Cairo, Gold label, and Tom Buck. But if I'm out and about normally something like Gold Label or Grand Cairo. Love those...
