    Shipping Tobacco

    It is a fair question. I had a postal clerk tell me I couldn’t ship tobacco within the States after I divulged the contents of a package. I think she was dead wrong about that, but rather than get into beef with my local post office I just began shipping a lot of smelly “pen blanks” and “clothes”.

    If you have the time, the best place to get deals on Custombilts these days are estate auction sites like Hibid.com You won’t usually find them indicated by name there, but they are identifiable enough by sight that you’ll see them in among the pipe lots.

    Interesting Insight into Oz Tobacco

    “When asked why, he hesitates and says it's because of the wave of firebombings just across the border.” Firebombings? In Australia? What?…

    How Biased Are Pipe Tobacco Reviews

    I don’t know if tobacco reviews are biased, but I suspect that if someone known to do a lot of thorough reviews suddenly started raving about a particular blend or blender while everyone else was saying the tobacco sucked the game would be over fairly quickly.

    Praise for Peretti

    Don’t know how Peretti’s got a rep for being difficult once upon a time (I’m sure there is some old story (I don’t care)), but I’ve had nothing but top shelf customer service from them. They’ve dealt with complex low value orders for me without giving me any crap, and rung me up at the store...

    Will the SCOTUS Chevron Decision Affect FDA Tobacco Rulemaking?

    I suspect that the reversal of Chevron will simply lead to more government dysfunction. Without clear statutory guidance built into regulations, and without the deference to the alphabet agencies in interpretation of regulations, interest groups will keep all the agencies swamped with...

    With Whom Would You Smoke?

    Definitely Hugh Hefner, but I would bring my own tobacco, and excuse myself out to the pool.
