I picked up about 15 tins of it six months ago in the US. I don't know if there's currently any in stock at the local shop. I normally buy online.

No, it is readily available at most of if not all online shops that I purchase from, A year ago that would have been a different story. :puffy:

They seem to always have at least one tin in stock at my local shop, but I've never tried it, or bought any. $13 for a tin that size is a little too rich for my blood when they have some great house English blends for around $5 an ounce.

In Europe the prices of tobaccos could scare many american smokers.For example how much cost there a tin of SG balkan flake?

Why are the prices so much higher, is it taxes or other reasons, I have purchased some pipes from Bollito pipes and for me their prices were reasonable for the pipes.

I understand, Thats why I said they were reasonable on their pipes, He had 2 punto oro's that I could not find in the states and the prices were very good, thats also including shipping. The taxes here in some states here are becoming like yours, causing prices to double if not more.

About Savinelli's

This morning In my town there was a little estate market (there are every weeks in my town and in the neiborough) so i bought the following pipes:

-savinelli punto oro

-savinelli deluxe

-brebbia

-hardcastle

-rossi

-k&p Peterson

-BBB london made

-clairmont (first pipes made by Tom Spanu)

for 78 dollars ,all in nice conditions,that's the reason why i don't buy savinelli's from bollito.From this shop i buy only expensive pipes, but when i carve my pipes and i look at their cost and their quality compared to others i try to find a reason for don't buy again expensive pipes

Very nice purchase, I understand why you dont buy from Bollito, the VAT tax really adds to it, Its crazy that I can buy from another country and I am exempt from the Vat tax, which lowers the price considerably, Its also crazy that I can order from Italy and the price including shipping will cost me the same if I had bought it here in the states. And again, The point that I was making was that Bollito seems to be fair on prices of pipes compared with the prices in the states, Being said that they have no control over prices of tobacco.

I have had no problems getting it in my short time smoking. I have a few tins and a pound of bulk aging. :)
