    Can't use credit cards to buy loose tobacco online?

    Guess we're going to revert back to checks and money orders. If we're lucky maybe e checks. Of coarse you could use PayPal and have the funds automatically withdrawn from your bank account. What about bank cards with a MasterCard logo? Funds come right out my bank account so is it still a no go...

    Can't use credit cards to buy loose tobacco online?

    This truly is a grievous mess. I'm tempted to burst into a coherent banter of the evils of corporate America and the Nanny State. But I won't. I am a little confused about the in & outs of all of this so a few questions here... 1. MasterCard, and any credit provider that follow MasterCard...

    Can't use credit cards to buy loose tobacco online?

    Thank you Jessica for the detailed clarification. I started this thread with a question that brought on a lot of assumptions, and we all should know what happens when you assume (you make an ass out of U and me). Thank you for coming on her, taking your time, and explaining the situation. I'm...

    Can't use credit cards to buy loose tobacco online?

    I called just for him She said that their CC processor just notified them and she is pretty sure this is a nationwide deal. This is all new information so the answers are not 100% clear at this point. She was under the impression that they are one of the first vendors to be informed. She...

    Can't use credit cards to buy loose tobacco online?

    I'm sure the retailers are in the loop as far as legislation and policies go. If the Credit Card companies decided to no longer support non face to face transactions for tobacco, that policy wouldn't be made and implemented overnight? This has had to been on the table for a while?? If its a...

    Can't use credit cards to buy loose tobacco online?

    Just received an email from just for him. I copied the text in the email and pasted it below? What's the deal here? Does this go for all vendors in the US? Edit: I put the email into the quote function. L.

    Pipe Pros

    As soon as I posted my response I clicked edit. I took a long time on my edited response and when I went to post it I was told that the post was too old and I lost all text that I spent for flippin ever composing! Seriously? Anyway, my above response falls short of the message I was trying to...

    You don't necessarily avoid lung problems because you smoke a pipe and do not inhale. You can inadvertently inhale small amounts of smoke

    PACT Act: Will my order of nasal snuff make it to me?

    I may not be entirely correct but I believe it is legal to buy smokeless tobacco online from another country and have it delivered. I think what the PACT act stipulates is that if a US vendor sells online/mail order to a US customer. Then the vendor must pay the applicable taxes and can not...

    A list of cake/plug tobacco

    Im excluding flake tobacco. Its not a plug. Its not a cake/kake. Its a flake. Call me strange but I prefer the look of a block of tobacco over the appearence of a flake of tobacco. 8) As such, Id like to know who else markets their tobacco in blocks(not flakes) -Karl

    Should I be upset with my local B&M

    Some people like to use sarcasm and ridicule. I find it an excellent teaching tool when I have an apprentice under me. Nothing meant to loose sleep over, just to keep em on their toes. In your case Id tell the guy "next time I want your opinion, Ill give it ot you" (dont try that with your...

    A list of cake/plug tobacco

    Id like to compile a list of all the different cake/plug tobaccos. Im talking about the tobacco that comes in a large chunk or brick, un sliced. The couple Ive tried, I like. So I thought it would be cool to put together a list of all the different blenders and what they call it. So here is...

    N-hit with Early Morning Pipe

    I've tried both a few times each. Neither ever quite agreed with me. I've gotten a little nausea to flat out sick and laying on the couch? I quit trying and gave the tins to my father in law, who enjoys them with no ill effect. I lean towards English blends and have smoked some I thought to be...

    Mr. Snuff and St. Bruno

    Mr. Snuff has been a good OL vendor in my experience. Good communication, they ship fast. No problems here. Delivery depends on how fast the postal/custom services operate but usually arrive between 7-14 here near Chicago. I recommend them. -Karl

    How far do you have to drive for tobacco?

    My most local tobacconist is about a 15-20 minute drive. They have a HUGE walk in humidor but their pipe/pipe tobacco selection is descent at best. Iwan Ries is my preferred stop and they are about a 30-40 minute drive or a 1 hour train ride. When I go I usually take the train. -Karl
