I was just packing a chillum out of this old tin. Then it hit me, I’ve been filling this thing with ground up herb for about 20 years. Well not this exact one. I lost it about 10 years ago, by then altoid sours had been discontinued for a while. I never found a container that I liked as much as that one. It held my pipe in there perfectly. It stayed closed when I dropped it and could take a beating. I’ve hammered the bottom flat more than once. I figured it was gone for good.
Then one day my wonderful wife surprised me with a tin she found online. I happily ate all the expired lemon sour candies patiently before cleaning it out and filling it with the finest herb the streets could provide me. It was just like old times! I’ve since use this thing every day. I grind up whatever I’m smoking that day and in my pocket it goes.
It’s just one of those things that for whatever reason holds sentimental value to me. People always laugh at my little beat up Altoids tin, but I just smile because it’s been there for me through all my bullshit, holding something for me that makes life just a little bit brighter.
So what weird thing do you stash your stuff in? Let’s see all the stoner stashes of OG.
Old AppleKraut container That is definitely gold plated on the inside must have been used to contain the acidity of the food kind of reminds me of silver plated caviar tins the art work on it is impeccable they new people were going to put stuff in these and keep them like a decorative feature it seems.This thing was purchased at a antique store no farther than 200 yards where the Plant that Distributed the same product from the 1920s.Time to fill her up I usually have a mix of all the different buds i grew to roll some nice ganja salad joints.Probaby some weed at least a year old in there sometikes when im constantly adding to it.I finished the last and opend up some vacume seal weed to toss in today
That is awesome!!! I love the look. For some reason I have an obsession with tin and metal containers new and old. That’s a super cool design and the leaves on it suit it’s new purpose well!
I like the right metal container They have nice tight seals on them if you have to kind of dig your nails in to it to pry it off its a good container for quick access personal consumption buds they keep the smell pretty tame too not as good as the old film canisters the grey and black ones but close enough to not get as many dirty looks anymore
That’s why I like the Altoids tin. It has one section wide as your finger that’s higher than the rest of the lip so that you can press it down and it tilts and unseats the lid. No digging in your nails and accidentally whipping the container to the floor. Lol
Actually now that I’m trying to use that it’s so beat up it doesn’t work anymore. The lids just loose lol
you might have the nicest one yet
