    Anyone else do this?

    Whooah there tiger! First, this "smuggling" I spoke of occurred in 2016, and the recipient received it without paying any fines. Secondly, I was not lying, tobacco can be used as a packing material. I was not in error on the customs form. Thirdly, I would not attempt this in 2024 or 2025, as...

    Cigars international vs Pipes and Cigars.com shipping

    FYI: Cigars Intl (CI) sells only 23 blends of bulk tobacco from 4 manufacturers, Pipes and Cigars.com (P&C) obviously, many more. If one is a first responder, (EMT, firefighter, police, and nurse), one gets 10% off product and free shipping from Cigars CI. First responders just get free shipping...

    I want to hear more more put downs of corncob pipes

    I was just bustin' on myself, nothing negative meant. I really don't care if members don't like cobs, doesn't bother me a bit. :)

    Just retired...

    Ok, I pulled the trigger and am now a social security insurance recipient - I'm jobless, too. Someone please enlighten me, I often wake up and have this feeling of being in Entropy. Is this a common malady of the recently retired? :unsure:

    Anyone else do this?

    Back when Christian Pipe Smokers Forum existed, I once sent a de-labeled tin of Orlik Golden Sliced to a fellow brother in Australia. Apparently, Australia has the heaviest tobacco tax in the world, where a 1.75 oz tin costs almost $30, (USD). I had to get creative on the customs form, declaring...

    Well howdy from PA Dutch Country

    Hey Mike, I've got a childhood friend I've known for 50 years living in Marrickville, a suburb of Sydney. He's italian and immigrated to AUS when his company transferred him there, living there 20+years, now retired. He definitely fits right in with the laid back Aussie lifestyle. Speaks a...

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Ok, I may be new here, but these posts really humor me - none of them reveal a pipe that has actual burning tobacco in it. Further, I believe some, maybe even a lot of them, were made using file photos.:LOL:

    Amazon basics retractable pens, white barrel,1.0mm point

    I enjoy using these, they've got a solid metal clip, click on and off well, and are decently ergonomic in the hand, (And inexpensive coming in packs of 12). However, I've found that most of the time, when using them intermittently, when one first puts point to paper, a small excess of ink flows...

    Why can't Missouri Meerschaum include stronger stems on their cobs?

    MM has just recently introduced strong acrylic stems on a 2 or 3 of their pipes- at about double the price. How hard would it be to put strong acrylic stems on most of their pipes? Those cheap plastic stems get crimped so easily. I figure, adding a $3-4 upcharge to the price and by using...
