USPS is pretty funny. I sent a package to Louisiana. It went to memphis (sounds right), then to shreveport (sounds righter), then to indianapolis (what?). The logistic team over there boggles the mind.- beef

New development. My package didn't make it past Detroit and is on the way back to me. Sorry, match. One consolation is that the customs agent didn't dump all the McClelland's I put in there ;). They still might have cracked all the tins though. I'll be placing an order online to try to get...- beef

Sorry match, your package was supposed to arrive on the 19th but it's been stuck in a warehouse in Detroit for the past several days with an undetermined eta. Maybe it's just slow processing in a busy time of year, maybe it's been seized. I'll wait for an update (it's ups, so should be...- beef

My package is in the mail. I learned today that the US won't let you ship food. I am worried about customs, so let's hope it gets through. I was told to expect a nice brokerage fee from them, in any case.- beef

Canada post is making it really annoying to ship to the states. They force you to download an app and then... I left. I'll will use UPS tomorrow. (I wasn't quite listening but it seems that you need to register all the goods in the app because of tariffs.)- beef

Edmund Fitzgerald 50th Anniversary Memorial Service in Detroit
I've driven by this church countless times, but I have never seen the inside. Nice pictures. Can I ask what the connection with Detroit is? Didn't it sink in the Superior? Was the crew mainly from Detroit?- beef

bad idea to put this on tinbids...already. The way the pipe community treats unobtainables, this will be worth so much more in 5 years.- beef

I'm in! Looking forward to this again. My preferences are Va and VaPer (at least as the dominant flavours). I love GH and lakeland style blends. But I am not a huge fan of english blends. I have nothing to say about Burley except that I hated haunted bookshop.- beef

I have some english/balkans that I am looking to offload. Are you interested in other blends as long as there is no perique?- beef

Moving to India with tobacco
I'll look into it. From a cursory search, it's hard to find much information. It would be tucked away in a container in any case.- beef

Moving to India with tobacco
Suppose that one were to move to India. What should one know regarding tobacco there? In particular, about bringing over one's cellar which isn't terribly large but voluminous enough. If it weren't declared, what would customs do, etc?- beef
