How to Buy Tobacco from UK

[sablebrush52]

GQ doesn't sell tobacco to the US. For a brief period after buying the business from Glynn, the new owner did sell to the US. Then he found out that he could get in a mess of legal trouble and ceased.
Do you have any friends in the UK, or any friends traveling there? That's about your only hope of acquiring RDF. The road is otherwise closed.

I'm in the UK if it helps.

Thanks everyone, I assumed as much. I had hoped the policies had changed in recent times.

Owen maybe we could work something out if you were so inclined.

It is also, I would say, "unsettling" for me to look at GQ's website every time, for the fact that they do not send tobacco to continental Europe. I am also a fan of various UK tobacco Germain's and Condor and St. Bruno, etc, and I also want to try some of the GQ tobacco.
GQ also has some of the most updated and comprehensive collection of Falcon pipes - there is nowhere to get the limited edition Falcon pipes on the internet other than from their online store.

Menuhin; I am really enjoying St Bruno lately. I have yet to try Condor. But Sable has had me interested in Rich Dark Flake with his mentions of it, I enjoy Stonehaven and would like to compare.

GQ doesn't sell tobacco to the US.

They do know. Their Instagram page shared the info below few hours ago. Sorry for the mistake, apparently they only ship pipes and accessories.

Thanks Javan, I knew you can buy everything but tobacco from them. A lot of older threads on Pipesmagazine talk about the reasons and I had hoped something might have changed.

Owen and I think we can work an across the pond trade. Nudge nudge wink wink.. ::

You can get various blends of Germain’s through Esterval’s Pipe House in Germany that are not available in the States but not Rich Dark Flake.
