Holder of powdered tobacco (8)
I believe the answer is:
snuffbox
'holder of powdered tobacco' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for snuffbox that I've seen before include "Tobacco powder container" , "I can bear pinches" , "Ornamental tobacco holder" , "Powdered tobacco holder" , "Old tobacco holder" .)
