    Show Us Your Blatter Pipes

    I mentioned this in a previous post. Their back wall behind the cash is devoid of most tobacco. It's getting more difficult for them to have any on hand. Pierre was mentioning the ban on flavoured tobacco and the lack of product from their distributors makes it nearly impossible to have anything...

    Canadian Import Advice Help - Tax was 200%!

    From the interwebs….: There are no recent, broad changes to Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) duty-free allowances for tobacco products for travellers returning to Canada, as of September 2025. Travellers can still bring the standard duty-free amounts, such as 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars, as...

    Take 9mm Filter Out After Each Smoke?

    Yeah, I had a 9mm pipe previously, an S. Bang that snapped apart at the shank due to I suspect excess moisture build up from not removing the filter after it was used. I suspect the pipe had an unseen fault that the moist filter exposed.

    Take 9mm Filter Out After Each Smoke?

    Good day everyone, Although not new to pipe smoking, I am 'new' to pipes with a 9mm filter. I have the paper charcoal filters, and when I've completed a smoke they're obviously quite moist. With a non-filter pipe, I never separate the stem from the pipe, but with the 9mm filter pipe, is it...

    Canadian Shipping Worries

    I’m in Canada as well. Let’s remember there is a work action taking place with Canada Post so some parcels are going to be further delayed as a result. Nothing to be done except for to light up a pipe, sit back, relax, and wait for the ol’ mail to arrive!

    Sure thing. There were two pipes priced at $396.00 both of them two dots, and this was one of them. They had other pipes there priced from $99.00 and up.

    End Tobacco Loopholes Act (United States)

    Yup. In general it's one Kg (federal) but in fact it varies by province - some are lower. It also varies, in some provinces, with the tax state of the tobacco under scrutiny. Some appear to only apply the one Kg limit to tobacco without stickers indicating taxes paid or receipts available (eg...

    End Tobacco Loopholes Act (United States)

    Close the Tobacco Loophole Time to celler up fellas! The introduction of the End Tobacco Loopholes Act has a number of aims. First, to increase the amount of Federal tax on tobacco products making it more expensive for people to buy. Second, to harmonize the tax rate across tobacco products...

    Canadian Import Advice Help - Tax was 200%!

    It’s almost that time of year where I have to start updating the tables for 2025 as the individual provincial tobacco tax information comes out across Canada.

    Show Us Your Blatter Pipes

    Hello all, I happened to be in Montreal last week with my cousin Olav from Norway. We popped into the store on rue President Kennedy and Pierre was working the counter. It was immediately shocking to see the wall of tobacco behind the counter was void and empty of pipe tobacco. Quebec law...

    Bringing Tobacco Back to Canada Over Land Border

    I was just in the US two weeks ago with my wife and we were selected randomly for a “go inside” check. We had to declare what we had in the vehicle and then go inside while they inspected the vehicle. We never lie at the border and declare everything with receipts in hand. This is to say, that...
