    Are There Instances of International Orders Coming Through (Australia)?

    Tasmania was where they used to send the worst of the worst, that may still be an option :)

    Are There Instances of International Orders Coming Through (Australia)?

    Hi Pastor Richard, 1) As Ahi Ka says, there is GST on top also (in our case 10%). 2) Generally, even after all the charges associated with importing, there is still a small saving in most cases. 3) The advantage of importing is the huge range of tobacco you can choose from, that are not...

    Aged Wessex Campaign

    Like a few have commented, when I smoked it young I was not very impressed (smoked 2 tins and then put the rest in the cellar), but I opened a tin a few weeks ago, from 2014, and it is great! I can not recall another tobacco that has changed so much with ageing.

    What Cigar are You Smoking?

    Dunbarton Sobremesa Brulee Blue (limited release) in honor of my Dad's 100th birthday. He did not get to 100 but came very close.

    $25k Charatan Achievement

    You see these or some Dunhills put up with crazy prices and they sit there for years. I assume that they are waiting for some guy in China to be browsing the internet after a few too many and click the buy now button. No other explanation I can think of.......

    SmokingPipes VIP Requirements Change?

    I am a Gold "Old Friend" and have a bunch of other badges including VIP Silver. I think my VIP will be downgraded soon to bronze but I will look at that as a badge of honor to finally showing some restraint in my spending!

    First Winslow Pipe

    Bought this Winslow "A" recently, has performed so well it was the first pipe I smoked in 2021!

    Only In America.

    English chips (fries) are the best! We had them here in Aus when I was a kid but all the traditional shops went and now we have only these crappy fries (McDonald copies) that are....crappy. English pub food can be good, I usually like the pies or ploughman lunch type meals. Beer there is good...

    Wanting Advice, Recommendations on Pre-Owned Pipes

    Agree with everything said previously. The other thing to consider is that when you buy an estate pipe you can probably sell it again, if for some reason you don't like it, and nearly get back your money or at a small loss after a few years. That has to be a great deal compared to all the other...

    Great tobacco, I have been cellaring this deep for the last 10 years, so always smoking tins now with considerable age on them.
