    Legality of Shipping Pipe Tobacco From the UK to US, Through Private Individuals?

    There's a gift checkbox on the customs form, but then it asks for a description of the items. You just put personal use there?

    Legality of Shipping Pipe Tobacco From the UK to US, Through Private Individuals?

    Thanks for the reply! So there won't be an issue with my buddy writing pipe tobacco on the CN22 customs form right? Any idea how much duties typically are? I know federal duties on pipe tobacco aren't much, but brokerage charges can be a lot. UPS gave me some hefty brokerage charges when I...

    Legality of Shipping Pipe Tobacco From the UK to US, Through Private Individuals?

    Has anyone had experience shipping pipe tobacco from the UK to the US? I have a friend who lives in England and I was wondering if they would be allowed to send me some blends. I know royal mail and USPS don't have any issue with shipping pipe tobacco. But I was wondering about how it would work...

    Using parcel forwarding services?

    Have anyone had any luck with using parcel forwarding services for pipe tobacco before? The UK won't ship to the United States and I was wondering if I would be able to get it shipped to Germany and then forwarded to the US. Any laws or issues around doing this?

    Subtle sweet non-aromatic recommendations?

    That's the best way to describe it. Somewhere right in the middle. I'll give that blend a try on my next order

    English blend paired with earl gray tea is a match made in heaven 👍 it makes for a great evening smoke. I haven't tried sleepy time yet or anything with chamomile, I might give that a shot next

    Subtle sweet non-aromatic recommendations?

    I normally smoke stuff like LJ Peretti Tashkent, GLP quiet nights and C&D Star of the East. But the other day I tried Boswell's Northwoods and Country Squire's cowboy coffee. Both blends had a very nice sweetness to them that wasn't overpowering, especially cowboy coffee. Excellent blends...

    What was your first blend and is it part of your current rotation?

    My first blend was captain black regular. Shortly followed by nightcap and early morning. None of which are part of my current rotation. I haven't smoked them in years. I do enjoy the pouch smell of captain black regular though 🤤

    Your Own "Worst" Tobacco

    Sir Walter Raleigh, smells oddly like a diaper? I don't know but I do know it's not for me. Instantly tossed it and brushed my teeth
