Snuffbox collectors are as likely to use their snuffboxes to take snuff as book collectors are likely to read their books. A snuffbox must be airtight, with a strong hinge. It must not be too big - containing too much snuff for a day's use, or, equally bad, air. So a snuffbox is not any old box. Serviceable and cheap snuffboxes are therefore difficult to come by and easy to lose.
Handkerchiefs are another problem for the snuff taker.
Large white ones are obviously out, unless you don't mind laundressers thinking you must be short of toilet paper. Paper hankies are rough on the nose. Wilsons market some good Paisley pattern snuff hankies .
