I am an expat in China and recently purchased a few pipes online (and some tobacco) in the hope that I have a new relaxing hobby. Pipe tobacco does not seem available here as readily (nor have I located an online suppliers in a neighboring country) so it seems the most cost effective way is to ship from the states. The situation I would like some suggestions with is this- Many US suppliers will not ship here, and if they do shipping cost (and possible customs processes) can be relatively expensive. In addition, I am in a very low income situation. So, I am wondering if there is someone who has had experience in Asia dealing with this kind of scenario and what the best option was that they found. Similarly if any know of a supplier that can give a discount with shipping as does happen on occasion with continental state shipping.
Related to this I am thinking it will be most cost effective to order in bulk. What are the top 5ish bulk tobaccos I should try that are on the lower end?
Thanks in advance for the ideas.
