    State Of The Cellar Report

    That’s because he’s an Iowa boy, like me! We learn how to cellar in farm country :puffpipe:

    Another Italian Pipe Shipment Hit With Customs and Duties Charges.

    And on top of that ... There is now internet sales tax collection. Oh well. This is a good thread to remind us all of the hassles involved with hobby. I hear people complain a lot about prices, but this is a good exercise in the margin costs involved behind the scenes.

    La Petite Robin

    I have never been able to order via Pipe Guys site. It is always a jumble of code and the purchase doesn't go through. I finally decided to scrap, trade, beg as the only way I was able to stock up on these blends. I wish there was easier way to obtain the stuff.

    Another Italian Pipe Shipment Hit With Customs and Duties Charges.

    I thought of that one, Michael. In this case the value was a bit high. But, I this has happened before with a lesser value shipment. But your advise to work with the vender to get the declared value lower is a solid nugget and pearl.

    Another Italian Pipe Shipment Hit With Customs and Duties Charges.

    The other problem here is that these issues are solely the responsibility of the customer and NOT the vender. Thus, the seller can't estimate these costs in the original purchase price. And there is no way to predict if the charges will be levied. Thus, buyer beware. And please do not bitch...

    Another Italian Pipe Shipment Hit With Customs and Duties Charges.

    Damn. :evil: I just received a shipment of pipes from tobaccheriacorti.com. I got hit with $225 in customs and duties charges. My previous two shipments from Luca we’re free and clear and I paid only the sales price. As many of you know, I’ve been bitching about this issue recently. I thought...

    State Of The Cellar Report

    Spreadsheet and labels and good quality containers. I finally got around to building a shelf and organizing the containers by numbers. The numbers correlate to the spreadsheet. I now know exactly where everything is. Best decision I ever made. Example

    Jim's Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation: Small Batch Aged Virginia Review.

    Jim, I love it when I read one of your reviews and say to myself, "yep, tha's what I would have said." But of course I couldn't because I am horrible at describing tobacco. But in this case, I agree completely with your review and picked up most of the various component flavors you discuss so...

    Opened My Tin of Wild Hare

    It’s a wonderful blend! I’ve been signing it’s praises for 2 years now. It’s a sleeper blend for sure (under the radar).

    Samuel Gawith Brown No. 4

    Great review. I love the blend! It’s great in the winter when you need a strong 20 minute smoke before you freeze your b..lls off. I smoke it very dry and in small corncob pipes.

    Are There Tobaccos You Consider Acquired Tastes?

    +1 to Hawky! Darn, this is so spot on. Virginias "grew on me". Super weak at first, and now they are something a I crave. Whereas strong English blends are almost too loud and obnoxious. Classical music also was an acquired taste. Similar to Virginia blends.
