If I Flew to the U.K. To Get Some RDF and Condor...

[brass]

...How much could I bring back with me? I've never flown outside the U.S. as a civilian or to Europe. I'm sure there must be a limit to the quantity. Also, what kind of taxes or fees would I have to pay?
I wouldn't won't anyone to think that I was visiting just to satisfy my out of of control TAD, so of course, I would tour some of the distilleries in Scotland. :wink:
Thanks.
Pax

US Customs has all that information on their site.

Brass you might want to do this in the next couple of years, The UK may not be accepting flights into the country by 2040 and beyond,

I guess you have been bitten hard by the Condor bug my friend!

 

[pepesdad1]

Condorlover1...over the years you have mentioned the famous "Condor". Finally got some Long Flake....not bitten by the bug, but definitely got the virus. Condor rocks, period!

@brass This may sound a little silly, but why not just order it on line. I've gotten condor plug twice from Pipe Divian. The 1st time They even let me use paypal. Not sure what RDF is.
@pepesda1 1st off nice talking with you for the 1st time. IMO Long Flake is very good. But PLUG is in a league of it's own. Way better.

 

[pepesdad1]

Scrooge, good talking to you also. I've heard that the plug is a league of its own in depth of flavor, just as you said. I hope to have the chance some day to get a "taste".

Condor Plug... :worship:

Not sure what RDF is.
I am assuming J F Germain's Rich Dark Flake

Condor whilst being the greatest tobacco ever created is not a lakeland ::

 

[jpmcwjr]

Condor is a heavily compressed cake of essence of daisy and coal dust. Slice it and fire it up boys!

 

[tom12]

Condor is good but in IMO G&H Revor plug is even better.

Back to OP's question: I can think of dozens of reasons to fly to London, but to buy Condor—or any tobacco or pipe— would be well down the list.

I've heard that you'd be completely safe with 4 pounds. The better option, if you want more than that, would be to ship it to yourself in the US from London.

Thanks, Scrooge. I sent them an inquiry. Didn't know about this vendor.

Thanks for this info. I checked the customs link and they just address cigarettes and cigars and "equivlants". They gave no clue what the equivalents might be in pipe tobacco.
