Massachusetts is actually a great place to live and is hardly " commiechusetts ". Good schools, low crime, clean air and water, lakes, the seacoast, the Berkshires and the some of the best universities, cutting edge industries and hospitals in the country and the world. And, by the way, the only restriction on shipping pipe tobacco into the Commonwealth involves flavored tobacco. Not a ban which I support but which, ironically, was signed into law by a Governor of the elephant party.Hi all, just joined. Living up here in Commiechusetts, hopefully not for too much longer. Avid cigar smoker since I was in college, been dabbling in pipe smoking for a little while now, enjoying it more & more. I usually frequent CT Valley Tobacconist in Enfield, CT since finding places that are still shipping pipe blends to MA can be difficult. Working on building a cellar to keep me supplied because I know the new tyrant governor and her minion AG will pass more bans on anything they can.
