newbroom: I actually considered bringing some Condor, but I had limited luggage space, and chose to bring a selection of pipe tobacco that would mostly be hard to find in the US, *and* that I'd been waiting to try. Therefore the Germain's. The Esoterica, I'd bought not long before moving, haven't tried yet, and naturally brought over. The Troost not only are Dutch, but there are very old tins I got on King's Day (2 days before moving). Some I brought with the additional intention of taking pictures for Pipe Notebook. And so on
I brought some extra Brown Flake considering I could trade, and I don't even necessarily expect to keep all of that Penzance and Peacehaven to myself (depends on how I like it). But I brought this small stash basically thinking of my own consumption.
*However*
yours is a fair point, and I'll keep it in mind next time I'm over there. Besides Condor and Germain's (which I understand is also hard to find here, and sought after), what do you think are "must bring" tobaccos?
