Thanks for the reply. Guess we're going to have to be relying on reviews elsewhere. Does @JimInks post his reviews on here as well?- sparker69

Walk out in the snow on a warmer lunchtime. Picked up a pouch of the first pipe tobacco I ever smoked - Blatter's Reserve house blend. Smoked it in a Blatter Canadian.- sparker69

Canadian Import Advice Help - Tax was 200%!
Oh - I'm good for the Cubans - I have a good five to ten years of stock to go at my speed. And I've moved on anyway - Nicaragua is the way to go so far, (and I have at least 10 years of Italian cigars).- sparker69

Canadian Import Advice Help - Tax was 200%!
Yeah - I knew I was on the database - but I only get charged duty by mail about 1/2 of the time - actually only once in my last three orders.- sparker69

Canadian Import Advice Help - Tax was 200%!
My question is a couple declared tins crossing the border, declared: are they going to go through the hassle of bringing you in to pay the duty or is it such a small amount that they'll just let it through?- sparker69

Show us your Brebbia’s!
Thanks - yeah - it just doesn't fit flush anymore. And when I'm done smoking it, it seems the tenon gets a bit "flexible" when the pipe cools and I take it apart to clean.- sparker69

Show us your Brebbia’s!
I have one Brebbia that I really like - smokes great. A little bit of history with it though. After one smoke, the vulcanite went all green. After a bit of research, I found that micromesh pads seemed to be the best option to clean it and worked great. Just went a bit too hard where the stem...- sparker69

So true - still smoke cigars and I have a decent selection of Cubans that I can no longer afford, so for sure pipe tobacco prices are nothing compared. I could drop $35 here for just one cigar!- sparker69

Canadian Import Advice Help - Tax was 200%!
Yeah - you pay and then file. I filed for one where they charged me Ontario tax which is more than Quebec. Took awhile, but got my money back - to the cent. It's worth calling them on it and I will EVERY time. I always do the calculation before I buy so I know what I'm looking at ahead of...- sparker69

Bringing Tobacco Back to Canada Over Land Border
Yeah - and let's just say their memory is VERY long! Burn them once, you burn yourself forever. I've crossed many times with over limit alcohol and declare it every time. If you don't go overboard, they usually let you go.- sparker69

Show Us Your Blatter Pipes
Beautiful! Beyond buying beautiful pipes that smoke amazingly from the first bowl, I really want to encourage them. The last few times I've been in the store, it's been looking a bit bleak. It would be horrible to see them go out of business.- sparker69

Bringing Tobacco Back to Canada Over Land Border
Growing up just a couple minutes from the border, I'm well aware that hiding things is a bad thing to do. They can dismantle your car, and they don't put it back together again!- sparker69
