The invention relates to devices employed to contain and dispense snuff and the like. Reduction of tendencies to jam and enhance compactness, portability and operability are achieved by an inhaler (12) bearing a projection (21), attached over a member (13) having snuff storage bores (33). Rotation of the inhaler aligns the projection with each bore sequentially. Structure (14) is provided for facilitating, and temporarily locking, this alignment.
