That's the Christmas spirit!!! Let one of those states come after me for breaking a law in their pathetic states. What, they gonna come to Alabama to get me? Ha ha.

This is a really good point.
A resident of state "A" does not fall under the jurisdiction of state "B." State "B" has no authority to tell resident of state "A" not to mail something to resident of state "B."
But neither can state "B" tell its resident not to receive what is mailed by resident of state "A," because reception is passive. How can you make a person responsible for what is done to him?
So the only thing that state "B" could do is criminalize possession within its jurisdiction. But, state "B" has not done this -- it is not criminal to possess tobacco within state "B."
So nobody is under any obligation not to mail tobacco to anybody else.

This is why many businesses still mail tobaccos to those areas. Some have chosen to stop, but the ones that still do say, as I have said, what can a state that I will never go to or live in do to me? But, if you do, just be sure never to drive through those states, because one traffic stop could lead to arrest.

I can't be expected to understand laws and such. I'm just a simple citizen spreading Christmas cheer.

Can I be matched with cosmic if he is digging into his McClellands stash

Now that @mikethompson is running the show I wouldn't get your hopes up brother. I just got @PipeIT to do a deep dive hack of mike's PC and he found this

I won't tell, so long as @mikethompson lets me "wet my beak"

I would think that packages sent from one member to another directly wouldn't be subject to any sort of inter-state tax. If you were shipping from an online vendor to a member, maybe it would?

So nobody is under any obligation not to mail tobacco to anybody else.

Unless of course you signed up for Secret Santa 2022:



"all costs" means just that, purchase and shipping of said tobacco of course, but also fines, jail time, bail, lawyer and court costs, punative damages, mental anguish, physical abnormalities, skinny bones, birth defects (both pre and post birth), gangrene, allergic reactions, carpal tunnel amnesia, amnesia, long term memory loss, short term memory loss, allergic reactions, carpal tune amnesia, amnesia, long term memory loss, and gout.



If any of you guys are seriously concerned let me know.

I can assure you the matching process is entirely random

You know the drill by now, if you see your name, you are ready to go, if not, you haven't filled out the form. This is a really great turnout so far, but there is still about a month left to go before the cutoff.

I have that ad in an album. I love my Zippo but also have a (wirehaired) dachshund.

Always read the fine print. Gentlemen, We're fucked.

It doesn't need to be an even number. it isn't a swap with another person I give it to person B. Person B gives it to Person C etc.
