Canada-USA Customs Question
I thought I'd write a quick update now that I've gone over the border and back. I picked up three tins of tobacco in Post Falls, ID. Cornell & Diehl's White Label and Red Label, and GL Pease's Penny Farthing. I wanted to try a Virginia Perique, and the C&D was affordable. In total, I picked up...- SpyHill

What do you use for tobacco? I've heard from someone else on the forums that they've had better luck with 4noggins.- SpyHill

Canada-USA Customs Question
I got dinged $70 for 5 ounces after buying online from SP. Trying to avoid that again, although I know smaller orders have better odds of getting through.- SpyHill

Yes, I sent them a message using their contact form. Will I hear back in time? Doubtful.- SpyHill

Canada-USA Customs Question
I didn't know I could do that. This may be a good first step. I've just realized that I will still be hit with a special duty when reentering Canada -- $9.30 per 50g of unstamped tobacco if I'm reading this right. This will quickly add up with 400g, so it probably isn't worth going up to the...- SpyHill

I still think they would be more concerned about the tobacco.- SpyHill

Canada-USA Customs Question
Hopefully I'm in the right category, here. In a week, I'll be moving from BC to Saskatchewan, and I'll be driving through Washington, Idaho, and Montana to get there. On the way, I plan to buy 400g of pipe tobacco in Idaho (Post Falls), split between my wife and I to stay within the limit when...- SpyHill

New Pipe: Lorenzetti Augustus Caesar #47
Awesome. Yeah, I was struggling at first. The Lorenzetti requires me to be a bit more intentional with the draws than does my very open Grabow, but once I got that sorted it was a great smoke. I've heard of that syndrome -- pipe collector's syndrome. I've managed to avoid it by not having very...- SpyHill

New Pipe: Lorenzetti Augustus Caesar #47
When you said it was "too open" without the adapter, what happened? Tongue bite? I didn't have much more success without it. I may go down to Goodfellas to get some advice. Shouldn't be harder to smoke than an old Grabow.- SpyHill

New Pipe: Lorenzetti Augustus Caesar #47
Curious. My hope with my Lorenzetti is that, when well packed, it will stay lit even if I set it down for, say, thirty seconds or a minute. I've heard some pipes can stay lit for minutes without a draw. My Grabow stays lit as long as it's in my mouth, but as soon as I stop, it goes out and I...- SpyHill

New Pipe: Lorenzetti Augustus Caesar #47
All right. I just tested drawing on my Grabow and compared it to the Lorenzetti without the adaptor, and the Lorenzetti still seemed to have more resistance. I'll try without it first and see if there are problems, then adjust if needed. It could also be that I rushed the packing to try it out...- SpyHill

New Pipe: Lorenzetti Augustus Caesar #47
I was just going to ask about this. I just tried to smoke it, and it was like learning to smoke a pipe all over again. I couldn't get the thing to stay lit. I had the same issue with my Grabow, and I removed the stinger and it smoked like a charm. I was thinking of removing the adaptor. I...- SpyHill

New Pipe: Lorenzetti Augustus Caesar #47
My first pipe was an inexpensive Dr. Grabow Lark for learning the ropes (few complaints here, once the stinger was out), but this is my first pipe bought for quality, given my budget constraints. I really like the grain and colour. Quite pleased. I was able to go to a local tobacco shop and...- SpyHill

Is a Zippo Pipe Insert Really Better?
How recently? I mean, being at a physical store might make the difference. They made it sound like a recent change.- SpyHill
