Does anyone else use a snuff box like this?

Derg THAT AVATAR IS AWESOME DUDE.

Snuff at work is for brown nosers.

I have no other comment on this topic.

Heh.. Thanks. I have been rocking that avatar for a long time. I guess it's my own little comment on the anonymity the internet provides to discussions..

As for snuffing at work.. I do a lot of that and people think i'm f***ing crazy, but hey, at least I'm not going out for constant cigarette breaks, so the bosses don't seem to mind..

Answered my own question. Placed an order last night for one of these boxes amongst a few other items. Seems to be shipping out as of this morning already. I'll update how it goes.

Still not here, crap! I hope the ATF didn't seizure it.

Even when I order stuff in the UK, Snuffstore seems to take a couple of days longer then Toque or other suppliers, so I wouldn't sweat it. I doubt anyone would know what the hell that box was anyway..

OK, I'm scratching my head now for two reasons:

1. My order arrived (today)? I think. I stopped by my house late evening, got the mail and nothing there. Came in the house and with a little note from one of my son's who occasionally stops by to get his mail was a package with a note on it, Dad, The postman dropped this off and I signed for it for you... The packet had a peal off sign. label saying something like "British Post" ect... on the remainder of it. On the other side of the package was a customs declaration stating to exact terms EVERYTHING in my order. So apparently this came through the USPS but required of course a signature??? AND clearly stated it was tobacco product(s) but still was delivered. NOTE: I even had one of those strawberry chewing tobaccer twists init and declared plainly on the outside of the postal packet.

2. So this friggen snuff box. I think I might have to take acollege course to figure out how the **** to use it. I damn near broke the thing trying to open it. Is the dowel supposed to turn or tap/slide to take snuff from it OR do you undo the whole fricken thing and use it simply as a spoon? I know... go back to the damn website and read the instructions LaZeR... *doh*

Just going to address this bit as the rest of it is a little out of my area.. The box can be kinda hard to open the first few times as the dowel kinda has to bed down a bit. I found I got it stuck in there and had to push it out with a screwdriver a couple of times when first playing with it.

Here is what I learned..

First of all you need to rotate the dowel to the "perfect" place to allow the reasonably easy push for the snuff to be tapped out. It can be too tight if rotated the "wrong" way in the chamber. This is something you just need to get a feel for.

I would say open the box up (take it apart) and fill it up with your favourite snuff, then put it back together. From that point on you should probably not take it apart to much (until you need to re-fill it that is). Then you just push in the dowel from the side with the cut-out in the main body of the box so the dowel pokes out the other side. Then you just tap some snuff out onto you hand, take a sniff and then push the dowel back into place.

For the first day this will probably be a bit stiff (it was for me), but now the dowel moves really nicely and the box is a pleasure to use.

Hope that all made some sense or was helpful...
