I have some friends who live in other places where it is difficult to get tobacco blends as well. We have learned how to ship tobacco in a way that avoids costly import fees and tariffs. I won't go into detail here, but suffice it to say, it is easier than one thinks. My supply of Condor is generally assured and in return I send blends found generally only in America. I've had friends from SA for decades and have always enjoyed their stories and conversations. Welcome to the forum. My advice is to stay active on the forum and overtime you will develop friendships with other smokers and trading tobacco can become an enjoyable part of the past time of pipe smoking.
