    I use the empty cans to put a few snuses in when going out... or i store stuff in them... i always get more than one use out of a can.

    OK I've hit a snag in my security device. I need a certain size tube [wall thickness and inside diameter matters greatly] and I'm having a hard time finding exactly what I need. I can make one if I need to but that would be a last resort. My wife is going away for a long weekend so I might have more time to work on this. I will keep you updated.

    I suppose I should mention what "kind" of security device I'm making. Its just a way to hide your valuables in plain site without anyone even having a clue there is something other than snus in the rolls. Put this thing together properly, reshrink wrap it, vacumn seal it and toss it in the freezer with your other rolls. When you need to access it just unseal the wrapper at the top and open the top tin to access the holding area, then reseal. This is more for longer term storage. Not something you need to get to everyday. Hope this helps.

    This might not be something all of you can use. But I need at least 9 rolls just for permanent storage. That will suck up 90 identical tins. This will work great for my purpose.

    i think this demands a contest. get a distributor or producer to pony up a small prize for the winner, and i bet a lot of cool ideas could be realized.

    i keep all of them except for the cardboard ones. it so happens that my main brand comes in cardboard so that keep my pile down. i don't know how many i have but they go back five years. i try and try to think of a use for them. so far about the only use i have came up with is keeping loose screws and change in them. i keep thinking one day i will invent something with them and become rich. my wife says it wont ever happen but i keep dreaming.

    yea for some reason i think i'll have a use for them. they are cool little containers. I'll probably just keep a few of each flavor for decoration in the basement. But then agian a giant wall of empty snus cans would be pretty cool...

    I have around 25 cans in exposition. All the different kinds of snus I've tasted so far.

    But I keep all the other cans inside a drawer hoping that someday I'll have a bright idea.

    I use one for water for my leopard gecko.

    I offered a few to my friends. They are fine to put filters and rolling papers.

    I'm looking forward to seeing this because i've been thinking about what i can make with my old tins

    you throw away your used portions?? What about the poor worms?

    I quit making blue worms some time back. I'm working on a blue chipmonk. One at a time I put all my used portions next to his hole. They are usually gone by the time I toss him another one. His hole is directly below the window next to my bed. I'm really not sure what hes doing with them. All I know is that he takes em. So I'm hopeing that this years babies will be blue. I've tossed him about 10 rolls worth of snus....portion by portion. All OR coffee or coffee/vanilla.



    no......I really don't have a life.

I would have given them to him but he insisted he pay. I think I got 20 cents each. I'm still saving them.

    Oh man I wish I knew that, I was saving them for a while buy then I stopped. I could have a closet full of cans by this point but now all I have is this one i'm about to finish

    Also, everyone knows you are making them into fleshlights, not security systems.
