    Canada Pipe Tobacco Question

    The idea behind the large number of tins is selection. I like ~60 tobaccos as a daily any time smoke, so I was going to do 5–15 tins per ones I really like, then fill out with random single tins I haven't tried. That being said, bulk is a perfect option, and for staples like LJ 432 or Haunted...

    Canada Pipe Tobacco Question

    Yes, I had a situation like that, where they tried to change me $300 for two 1 oz bags of tobacco. The border person (who was in a TERRIBLE mood), put the package the tobacco was in on the scale, and used that number. LJ Perreti had packed the tobacco amazingly well, the box was very thick and...

    Canada Pipe Tobacco Question

    I just want to make this clear, I don't want to "sneak", or "hide" the tobacco to get it into Canada, I'm looking for ways to bring a lot of tobacco in on the up and up. If I have to get a Native American friend to help (sorry if that's offensive), I can. I really just want to build a deep...

    Canada Pipe Tobacco Question

    Sorry, I should be more clear, I know they state a limit of 200g, but has anyone tried to bring in more and declare it? I've absolutely brought in more than 200g in one go, and declared it, I think my largest declared shipment was 500g+ from LJ Perreti's. It's really up to the border people...

    Canada Pipe Tobacco Question

    Ya, that's another problem, I don't know how to bring in that much tobacco unless I ship it in small parcel, or, just don't declare it and risk it, which I honestly want to avoid if possible, and economical. Has anyone tried shipping various amount to Ontario? I've done 3 or 4 tins before, but...

    Good Day I'm 36, live near Barrie, Ontario, and been a pipe smoker for just over 10 years. I'm starting to build a deep cellar because Canadian tobacco laws are idiotic and senseless, and I want enough tins to get a semiregular pipe enthusiast through the next 50 years. Furthermore, I figure...

    Canada Pipe Tobacco Question

    Good Day I'm starting to build a "deep cellar", and I want ~1 000 tins in the collection over the next few years. Canada has a duty rate of $9.90 CAD / 50 grams of tobacco. My question, does anyone know if that's a stable rate over X tins or does it change? I just shipped 100 tins to a...
