4Noggins - Tobacconists - Missing In Action?

[AroEnglish]

Vancouver is now among the most expensive cities in the world to live in. Top 5 or something like that. The real estate market did that.

Yeah my family still lives there and I don't know how my siblings can afford it.

Heads up, Canadians. Last 2 Noggins orders were opened by border agents.

Well this is terrible news for a BC pipe smoker... and I was just about to put a stock up order in on some Granger dang

Yeah the gravy train has come to an end unfortunately.

But isn’t it still better to pay the customs than to buy it locally?

Cost wise maybe/maybe not. Selection wise, definitely.

If things are really getting desperate just go whole leaf, 100% above board, all the tobacco you could want, practically no taxes.
You don't get to participate in tobacco reviews, but if we're just talking about being able to smoke a pipe then we've actually got a pretty good loophole.

I’ve been considering WLT but that would be basically making your own blends correct?

Yeah. I just count on paying the customs. Buying in bulk and selection still makes it worth it.

If any Canadians are interested in comparing notes on experiences at the border I'd like to set up a separate DM thread. Let me know by DM if you'd like to be added. Might be a bit slow in adding you but I'll get to it...

I'll join in

Customs caught my last order too. 4N’s packages are being checked.

Are you guys fucking kidding me?

 

[gervais]

Yeah. I just count on paying the customs. Buying in bulk and selection still makes it worth it.

Fuck customs. I just got a $55 customs charge on one $10 dollar cigar.

 

[Davy]

Man, I would be angry as well over that one. Tracking down the Customs guy that did that to shove the cigar up his ass, kind of angry.

 

[PA Piper Mike]

Fuck customs. I just got a $55 customs charge on one $10 dollar cigar.

This pisses me off and I'm not even Canadian.

 

[pappymac]

Fact: During Prohibition smuggling booze into the U.S. from Canada was a big money-maker for Canadiens and organized crime syndicates.

I'm just JOKING!

Maybe it's time to run the pipeline in reverse? Say someone goes on vacation to Canada, how much personal use tobacco can to bring across the border?

I'm just JOKING! I would never advocate breaking the law.

Oh man. That so sucks!

Heads up, Canadians. Last 2 Noggins orders were opened by border agents.

My last half dozen orders - 5 from smokingpipes and one from noggins - were all opened.

I usually order 2 -4 ounces of bulk at a time from smokingpipes. 90% used to get through, but the last 6 months nothing has arrived without a customs payment due.

If this group still exists please add me. CBSA is catching everything right now.

I placed one order in December and received it ok. Have an order pending for about two weeks, no response, no phone, no email. It’s a strange way to do busines.
