    The Future of Pipe Smoking

    I am trying to explain this to you mate. The more you raise tax on something, the less income you get. See the link I provided to the Laffer model.

    The Future of Pipe Smoking

    This link, for instance, belongs to a US tobacco provider that buys in the US and Spain and sells in the UK. https://cheap.tobaccoonline.co.uk/tobacco_splash.php

    The Future of Pipe Smoking

    But this is like I told you guys before. I for one do buy my tobacco in Spain to avoid paying for any tax. And as far as I know, the rest of the Birmingham Pipe Club members do the same. The black market is here to stay, and if politicians wants to raise more tax on tobacco, they need to lower...

    The Future of Pipe Smoking

    If there is not enough demand, prices will go down no matter what. This is the case with snuff, for instance. Snuff is the cheapest tobacco product you will be able to find in the UK.

    Rattray´s Old Gowrie

    To be perfectly honest with you, I came by it as if by chance. As a matter of fact, I was after Dunhill's Deluxe Navy Rolls, but they are £14.23 in the UK, so when I went into the shop I hesitated to buy that one or something different. It is true I did not expect it to be that good, but after a...

    I agree but I hope you are wrong.

    Rattray´s Old Gowrie

    Old Gowrie is the only Rattray's I have ever tried, but I have read a few reviews after and I have already put a few ones down the list, that is, Hal O' the Wynd (or Will-o'-the-wisp), Marlin Flake and Brown Clunee amongst others. I don't know what they are like, but if they are as good as the...

    The Future of Pipe Smoking

    Honestly, I am extremely disappointed because of this.

    The Future of Pipe Smoking

    Many people, including myself, are already buying tobacco products in Spain to avoid paying for higher taxes in the UK, so the incentives for the black market are in there. And most of the Birmingham Pipe Club members do the same. As for snuff, your are quite right. This tobacco product is...

    The Future of Pipe Smoking

    I don't want to live in a world where tobacco and alcohol does not exist. With government pushing higher and higher taxes on tobacco and alcohol products, we are seeing a trend in the UK and other markets where users are resorting either to black markets or to legal substitutes such as Vapers or...

    Rattray´s Old Gowrie

    How do you actually go about sending the Pope any petitions or requests to canonize a person? I propose elevating Charles Rattray to saint status for creating such a beautiful thing.

    Duped by a forum member

    I'd be outraged if it happened to me. There is no excuse for such an appalling behaviour. If I was you, I'd report him to the admins and disclose his identity.

    Yes, I thought it was good value for money too. Besides, I live in England and I did not have to pay for any import duty tax. Rick has labelled this as a present.

    I hate it when they are trying to be all that smart.

    My Son Wants to Grind his Dwarf

    Well, I think it is quite alright to have a little bit of a laughter every now and again. Life would be so boring otherwise.

    Listen mate, I might be a little bit slow, but not stupid.

    I was worried about that too, but I am smoking Elisabethan Mixture in it now as we speak and it seems to run perfectly fine. It looks and feels quite chunky, but the one in the picture is totally out of proportion. Thanks for your comments mate.
