The “El Patron” Snuff Wallet is a budget-friendly snuff box alternative for anyone looking to keep things low-key without sacrificing too much function. While being bigger and less sleek than its competitors, its still sure to impress someone who’s never seen a snuff box before.
Design & Usability
Right away, the Snuff Wallet stands out for being a bit larger than the others in its category. That extra size gives you a little more room to work with inside, but it also makes the box slightly bulkier in your pocket. The edges are sharper too, which some might find uncomfortable compared to the smoother curves of higher-end models.
The internal layout is familiar and works well, offering grooves similar to what you’d find in a Royal Box. One unique feature is the use of silicone or rubber flaps over each groove to help keep your material in place. Depending on your preferences, that could be a plus or a minus—it’s useful for keeping things tidy, but adds a step to access. And unless you’re expected to remove the rubber piece entirely, which wasn’t made clear in any of the accompanying materials, it’s a bit unclear how intentional or optional that feature is.
The included straw is wider than most, which is great for airflow and avoiding clogs, especially compared to the ultra-thin straw in the Get Lost box. That said, it’s made of clear plastic and feels a little cheap in hand. Like the Get Lost, the Snuff Wallet also uses a latch-style mechanism to access the straw—functional, but not the smoothest experience.
What’s In The Box?
Inside the packaging, aside from the box, is a card you can use for lining up product.
Price & Where to Buy
The Snuff Wallet is priced in the mid-range when it comes to the snuff boxes we’ve reviewed. Coming in at $59.00 it’s pricier than the Get Lost Box but less expensive than the higher end Royal Box. The Snuff Wallet is available from their website as well as on eBay.

Final Verdict
Despite a few trade-offs, the Snuff Wallet holds its own. It’s not aiming to be fancy, but it checks the key boxes: it’s discreet, portable, and gets the job done. If you’re not looking to drop serious cash, this is a solid entry in today’s snuff box lineup. It’s not perfect, but for what it costs, the Snuff Wallet is a worthy contender—especially if you’re after function over finesse.
