    Mine are all in shoeboxes in the closet. I haven't thrown away one single tin since my first one. :shock: Everyone thinks I'm nuts, but I just can't bring myself to throw them away for some reason.

      I don't have every can I've ever used, but I have most of them. They're in a garbage bag in my closet. Someday I'm going to use them for something. I think.

      Actually, I already used three of them. Four empty Knox Portion cans with the ashtray lids removed serve as a base for my bookshelf. It keeps the shelf level and keeps it from sinking into the carpet and leaning in one direction or the other. Very nifty!

      I also use an empty can of Lucky Strike white as a stash can. I've used empty Gotlands cans in the past for the same purpose. Both work great.

        I still have most of my used cans, I was thinking of making a curtain out of the more attractive ones somehow.

        They seem good for storage, but I have nothing that small to store besides snus and thumbtacks

          They're also great for storing guitar picks. I have two pick cans. One of them is an original round Camel Snus can (from early 2007). The other is a Lucky Strike regular can.

            also, you're missing a "do" in the topic name. Some kind of optical illusion

              I have a little display of all my cans on my desk. Once you start, its hard to stop collecting them!

              I use my Nick and Johnny West can as an "herbal" cigarette holder. It works perfectly!

                  I never would have caught that!

                    I keep one can of all snus I try. Eventually I plan to make a display out if it, but that's not for a while... Until that day, cardboard box it is :lol:

                      Same here, I have one each of every variety I have tried. The fact that snus cans are unusual here in the USA is probably my motivation. I dipped tobacco out of very similar cans for 20 years and never saved even one.

                        All of my empty cans go in the trash. I am not creative enough to do anything with them. The only ones worth saving IMO are lucky strike tins.

                          I save all of my tins. I use them occasionally, and if nothing else, it's interesting to see how labels change over time.

                            I've been saving mine up to make a Hillary mosaic.



                            Trouble is I'm going to have to choke down a couple cans of Elixyr P&E to get the eyes just right... :P

                                Spacers for my headphone amp. Keep it nice and cool.
