hello from New Zealand

[Calliope]

I am an occasional pipe smoker here in the great nanny land of the Antipodes. Tobacco attracts an outrageous tax...think US$100 for 1 oz. I usually smoke a cob or a Petersen with a Sunday for the beloved meerschaum. I have been enjoying this relaxation technique for about 5 yrs. My all time favourite smoke is Cult Blood Moon and an Erinmore Flake

Another welcome from California
I too have visited (and enjoyed) NZ. Sadly only the north island though, so I'd love to return and do some tramping around the south island.
Happy to have you here, friend!

I just met an Aussie who told me he can only bring back home a max of 20 sticks of tobacco?!! That is less than a pack of cigarettes. I get depressed reading the Tobacco Legislation section. Fortunately pipe tobacco goes a long ways.
