ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An all-plastic, air-tight container assembly comprising an injection or compression molded body member and lid closure member useful for storing smokeless tobacco products. The body member projects upwardly from a closed end to form a narrowed neck portion around the exterior of which is provided a circumferential locking rib, The interior closed end surface of the lid is provided with a circumferentally extending reinforcing ridge and mini-rib buttresses annularly, spaced around and projecting from the periphery of the rein- forcing ridge toward a centrally located projecting button portion. At the upward rim edge of the reinforcing ridge a circumferential groove is provided traversing the inner surface of a skirt which projects downwardly from the closed end of the lid member. The lid snaps into tight engagement with the open end neck portion of the body member, the circumferential groove in the lid matingly receiving the circumferential interlocking rib located on the exterior of the narrow neck portion of the body member near the rim edge of the open end of the body member. This provides an improved sturdy securely locked, but easily separable, container functioning as a moisture and flavor barrier to prevent the escape of moisture and aromatic flavor components in the smokeless oral or nasal tobacco products, such as chewing tobacco or snuff, which are stored in the continuer. The body and lid members are preferably fabricated from polypropylene by injection or compression molding and can maintain satisfactory moisture and flavor levels in the stored tobacco products for periods exceeding six months.
