    Has Anyone Ever Imported HU Tobacco from Pfeifen Depot?

    I’m pretty new to the forum - are group buys discouraged here?

    Has Anyone Ever Imported HU Tobacco from Pfeifen Depot?

    Well, it’s not a big stretch if you’re getting the ‘baccy you want, at a price you can live with!

    Has Anyone Ever Imported HU Tobacco from Pfeifen Depot?

    I mainly meant that they apparently aren’t interested in establishing distributorships outside their home territory’.

    Has Anyone Ever Imported HU Tobacco from Pfeifen Depot?

    You may be right about that. Doesn’t the company that produces the Synjeco tobaccos only ship from Switzerland, or wherever they are?

    Has Anyone Ever Imported HU Tobacco from Pfeifen Depot?

    Yes, it's a bit of a leap of faith to order a passel of tins without knowing you'll really like them enough to make it worth the outlay. HU doesn't seem to be interested in having a distributor in the States, though.

    Has Anyone Ever Imported HU Tobacco from Pfeifen Depot?

    Given that other EU-based online retailers offer buyers outside the EU a lower price without VAT on a regular basis, I'm not sure I buy that (his explanation, that is, not yours). I asked him about the VAT charged to a US buyer, and he hasn't yet responded, even when he emailed to ask why I...

    Has Anyone Ever Imported HU Tobacco from Pfeifen Depot?

    All very good points, and as you and @alaskanpiper said, the value proposition falls in favor of making up a large order to reduce the price per tin and to “justify” the shipping costs. And you’re right - if Pfeifen Depot is selling to a buyer outside the EU, they’re not supposed to be charging...

    Has Anyone Ever Imported HU Tobacco from Pfeifen Depot?

    I actually created an account at Esterval's, and then balked when I saw their shipping costs. I've really been interested to try out Director's Cut and Fayyum Kake, though, so I may just end up biting the bullet.

    Has Anyone Ever Imported HU Tobacco from Pfeifen Depot?

    I've never done much in the way of overseas ordering, but when I have, the sites have automatically deducted VAT from the price prior to shipping costs. I put in a request to them about it, but haven't heard anything back yet.

    Here or at the pfeifendepot.de website? :)

    I like the Dark Fired Cherry pretty well, but I find leaving it out not just to dry a bit, but to help it "off gas" some of the tartness of the cherry, makes it a far more palatable blend. I have an order of the Byronic Slices incoming.

    Has Anyone Ever Imported HU Tobacco from Pfeifen Depot?

    Good day, all - I've had my interest in HU Tobacco piqued, and it looks like the pfeifendepot.de is a recommended seller. In looking to place an order, the prices listed have 19% VAT included, and when I tried to check out of their online shop, the final sales price (before shipping) still...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2020?***

    A bowlful of 4Noggins' "Bald Headed Teacher" in a new Eric Paulson Devil Anse model (after I learned it some carbonization manners with a suitable helping of CH to help it cake up a bit). This 4Noggins blend has become a firm favorite chez Marlinspike. After a rainy, windy day, it was so still...

    Life Affirming Pipe Experience And Is Mixture 79 So Bad?

    Waiting for C&D to update the blend and call it "The Goat With a Thousand Young" or "Asenath's Delight" or "The Innsmouth Look".

    Handsome bit of briar there - Rubio seems to be a fine carver. I've always liked what I've seen of his pipes.

    First bowlful of Seattle Pipe Club's "Puget Sound", smoked in a MM Pride cob. Interesting blend - I bet a year or two of it sitting unopened would make this a winner, IMO...it needs a bit of mellowing.

    About to try a sample of Sutliff's 504C Aromatic English. I'm hoping I like it - it's been on sale! It's going into a Falcon bent stem with a rusticated bulldog bowl.
