Hello from Sunny QLD, Australia
Hi there, the forum is a great place to meet like minded people. The Draconian laws in Oz are frustrating. I don't know about other pipe smokers down under, but I have found the last few years a constant struggle in terms of accessing tobacco that is reasonably priced. But, the forum is a...- Mike S

Best Smoke at Reasonable Price?
I was in Paris last year and couldn't believe how cheap cigars were, I smoked a Cohiba every day. I'm no expert but can tell a quality cigar. If I had my own way I'd bloody immigrate to Cuba. Thanks for your advice.- Mike S

Best Smoke at Reasonable Price?
G'day friends, I need advice for a quality cigar at a reasonable price. I'm generally a pipe smoker but every so often enjoy a cigar. Can't do both full time due to cost (I'm in Australia). Any advice would be most welcome. Have a great day! Mike- Mike S

This is something I'd like to explore. From what I gather small amounts labelling content by brand and not using the words 'tobacco' with a note inside saying "thought you'd enjoy this nice surprise" is the way to go. Perhaps if it was an exchange of gifts, money for an item, there is a chance?- Mike S

I love Velvet! You're right, it was a toss between Velvet and Carter Hall. Next time I'll get Velvet, a smooth and satisfying smoke!- Mike S

Tobacco Blends is fantastic, I use them regularly. They have a good selection, but did not have the Half & Half. I also use myhumidor.com in Australia, by far the most competitive prices and that's where I got Half & Half. Their stock seems to go pretty quickly though. Ten years ago Devlin's was...- Mike S

The most commonly available brand is Borkum Riff Cherry which i go to when i don't have any option. When money's tight i buy Port Royal tobacco for cigarettes, sacrilege but beggars can't always be choosers.- Mike S

It's one of the more affordable brands that i really enjoy. I generally need to see what is available. I have also really enjoyed Velvet, C&D Green River Vanilla, Carter Hall, Lanes 1Q1and RLP (I think that's the name), Edward G Robinson was nice. I had an old block of Peterson's plug which was...- Mike S
