Welcome. I'm always curious to ask our new foreign Brothers what tobaccos are available to them. So Sid, in Greece what tobaccos are available to you?

Welcome to the BoB forum, Sid! I actually stumbled across your blog a few nights ago - you've got some nice work posted there. I look forward to seeing more.

Good morning from Greece, thank you for the Welcoming! :cheers:
The situation about the tobacco pipes here is awful, the pipe shops have only Aromatics and the prices are very high so many Greek pipes try and find through "others ways" tobacco to smoke.According to Custom Law it's illegal to bring tobacco from other country except limited quantities for personal and only if you declare this.Practically this means extra taxes and no one does it here this way.In case that they caught you to bring via mail a package from USA with tobacco tins you will pay a fine far more than the value of the parcel.
The amateur pipe smokers or those who are old and don't want to mess with problems smoke only few Aromatics from the local market or the tobacco which a friend sailor brought them.In Greece you can't post in a forum a question as: "where did you buy this bulk tobacco" "how can i buy this tin from this US brand" etc, the post will erased and you will get a warning.
In contrary, the pipe smoking in Cafe or in public is free in Greece and many will ask you for your pipe or your tobacco and will looking at you with envy when you light your pipe. :shock:
