    Yes 8) Only that's too ambitious. A privy, maybe.

        I used to keep empty tins when I snused in late 80's and early 90's and build towers with them. Only Ettan los then, with occasional souvenir tins from Sweden and Finland thrown in. 252 tins it took from floor to ceiling. Well, nowadays I have kept a few metal tins of Taboca and Montecristo for twist chewing tobacco.

          I really only keep the metal ones, the rest go in the trash.

            There are metal cans? I'm sampling about 20 brands (first order) and all of them are in plastic. Which brands are in metal cans?

              I want to keep them but have no practical reason for doing so. I've pondered this several times and even kept some for a few weeks then recycled them. The plastic ones can go to the recycling center and people there haven't a clue what they are. I think I have five or six still saved for that time I need to transport pins or screws or something. It hasn't happened in three years so I'm not thinking I'll need them but every time I finish I can my instinct is to save it. I produce one every 3 days or so so it might not make sense to save them all.

              Good idea using the Gotlands containers as they do keep snus better. The LS metal cans were excellent too.

                Taboca, Montecristo and Romeo y Julieta at least, there might be some others. The afore mentioned tins are really cool, sleek and seal quite well. Good for storage and they look good.

                      I love the lucky strike tins, along with General tins. I find they both just look so classy!

                        I met a Swedish guy that has 3 trash bags full of empty General Portion cans. That's decades worth of snus for me...

                          I've started saving more and more good plastic cans such as the General portion cans because they will come in handy when experimenting with SnusX. I just saw on Northerner that you can buy some plain ol' empty cans for $2.12!!! I'm too cheap to buy those! I guess the upside of buying those cans is that they are brand new, no lingering scents.

                            That would mean the can cost twice as much as the product that's in it. That doesn't make sense. Heh, I doubt that the lingering odor would be worth two bucks though.

                              Putting some baking soda in the empty tins should get rid of extraneous scents. When you're ready to dump the soda, you can use it to clean a sink or something; no waste :^)

                                The dippers can have their "dip towers". I've started something way more cool...a Wall Of Snus!

                                Good thing I live alone, I did this in my bedroom. Can't imagine a cohabiting woman being okay with this!
