    This would be akin to a father handing his child an atlas when the kid asks him where a particular country is.

    Tobacco prices - US vs UK

    :D Joking aside I do find the American pronunciations interesting, in as much as how you come by them. By dad says it's just because you want to be different, but he's not exactly the most PC person I know. Oddly - and I accept it's probably because I have so much to learn about tobaccos and...

    Tobacco prices - US vs UK

    I never considered it that way but you make a very good point. Not sure about you lot speaking the same language as us, though. I'm not even sure it's similar sometimes with your bizarre pronunciations of certain words :D It's certainly worth looking into if I find myself unable to afford the...

    Tobacco prices - US vs UK

    Hang on. I'll get the details from the post itself. This is from Jud in the 'Tobacco recommendations on a budget' thread. I think over in the UK us pipe smokers can only dream of prices like that.

    Tobacco prices - US vs UK

    Ah well. At least I'm not alone. I never did understand taxes.

    Tobacco prices - US vs UK

    Are you talking about the tax the customer pays or the retailer? If I ordered from the GQ Tobacco website I'd pay £1.16 / $1.50 in tax for 25g, so I don't think that's where the expense to the customer lies.

    Tobacco prices - US vs UK

    When I buy a 12g sample of pipe tobacco from my local newsagents/tobacconist it cost me around £4.20 (about $5.50). I was therefore rather horrified to hear US members here recommending tobaccos in a recent thread, and quoting prices of around $5 for 2oz (maybe this was an isolated example and...

    Is Pipe Smoking Changing?

    I'd be a fool to make such suggestions :) My post may have seemed dismissive about certain views and opinions, but that's not to say I'm arguing they're wrong - simply that they're not something I personally put any belief in.

    Is Pipe Smoking Changing?

    Well, you've both misinterpreted my post grossly. I didn't say, or even suggest, I smoke just the one pipe and one tobacco. All I said is that I don't pay any attention to rotation or tobacco/pipe choice.

    Is Pipe Smoking Changing?

    Well, all I can say is that despite being a pipe smoker for less than 6 months, the above quote describes me perfectly. If habits are changing I certainly haven't picked up on them. To be perfectly honest I put no store whatsoever in all this talk about pipe/tobacco rotation, and certain pipes...

    Any Recommendation for a Decent Lighter Under $60?

    And they're a tamper, too. Or at least the mini is. Light, flip and tamp!
