Only licensed tobacco retailers can ship through UPS....not us true aficionados!

A mysterious package was left on my doorstep this afternoon. Can't pick up any ticking with my stethoscope, which is promising...

 

[mikethompson]

Really? I've never heard you couldn't ship through USPS before. Is this a new rule?

That just means the timer is up.

 

[Pipenwheels]

USPS is ok. UPS when they ask what you're shipping....will refuse to ship it.

I've summoned the bomb squad robot.

Wha? UPS doesn't ship tobacco? Then how does SP ship me tobacco though UPS? Or is that a regional thing?

I think you have to be a licensed distributor or something??

I seem to have been double teamed. Thank you Secret Santas!!!

 

[originalnutcracker]

My kid might need to be patient - the parcel appears to be stuck at the border!
Hope it frees up soon….

Huh....interesting.

It could also be a UPS store thing, because they are franchises independently owned and operated….

Just tell them it’s a box of bongs and dildoes and you’ll probably get the alphabet crew discount….

In the past couple of years, if I try to order tobacco from Smoking Pipes, they tell me they can't ship to Maine. Maybe a new state law that I missed. On the other hand, ordering from Watch City or Pipestud has never been a problem. Go figure. Fortunately I no longer really have to order anything, unless greed rears its head.

Homemade spermaceti update:

I used the homemade spermaceti you graciously sent on my most treasured meerschaums. They’re never looked as radiant and majestic as they do now. However, I’ve noticed a few changes. My meerschaums have begun craving certain tobaccos, cleaning up my pipe racks, and have started slowly growing in size around the mid-section.

But do they swell up when Mariah is played?

That robot is working overtime - it is PMSS Season after all
