Australian Pipe Smokers: Help a mate out?

G'day baines
Yeah 4noggins is still good or smokingpipes. I usually get about a pound at a time when I order and mostly gets into Sydney where I live without interference. Sometimes not, but when that happens I just cop it sweet and pay the duty when they send me the bill.
You might find some fellow pipers in Qld on the Australian Pipe Smokers group in yahoo who might be interested in havin' a smoke with ya!
If ya get desperate, you'll probably be able to find some Erinmore Flake/Mixture at a local tobacconist but it'll set you back around $45 to $50.
Welcome to Oz anyways.
Cheers,

Jyri

Hi Ryan
If you want something unavailable elsewhere then Dr Pat Irish Mixture is the blend to try. I can't say that I particularly liked it, but it is worth giving it a go, just for the experience haha. It's a blend that you'll either love or hate. You should be able to pick it up in some tobacconists but it can be hit or miss what blends they stock. Sometimes the only pipe tobacco tobacconists stock is Borkum Riff.
If you're lucky you might find some Gallahers Plug tobacco which I haven't tried but is probably better than Dr Pat, but I'm not sure it can be found these days, now that we've transitioned to plain packaging.
Best tobacconists to source tobacco online in Australia is probably either Cignall Frankston in Victoria http://www.tobaccoblends.com.au or Sol Levy in Sydney http://sollevytobacconist.com.au/ Expect to pay extortionate prices due to the Government liking to pick the pockets of smokers in this country.
If you ever get to Sydney I'd be happy to meet up. Please do join the Yahoo Australian Pipe Smokers Group https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/australianpipesmokers/info Should be a few fellow pipers up north that might like to meet up with ya as well.
Cheers,
