Thanks for the welcome, Timbo. You're not the first to suggest that, but the British customs are ferociously vigilant and the penalties for smuggling very severe. The British government wants to stamp out smoking by 2030; they'll do it by taxing and regulating tobacco out of existence, and preventing imports. As of now, pipe tobacco has become very difficult to come by except by mail order, though cigarettes are as easy to get as they ever were. No point moaning about it; we have to get by as best we can.
