I happen to know that @BROBS hates Latakia and has done so openly. Everyone is saying it. It is the greatest crime in the history of our country! If people were honest they would launch a full investigation! TREASON!@hoosierpipeguy . Damn! I was thinking of talking Brobs into running in 2020 with Jim Inks on the 'tobacco ticket' with the election slogan 'Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!'
Also, I have it from the highest authority that HE DOESN’T EAT MEAT! THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! SAD!!!!!!!
NZ is quickly leading the race of 'free' countries turning to police states. Wonder if their MSM will now paint smokers as worms eating the country just like they did with legal gun owners last year.
No we are just the 20% of the population who is killing everybody else through second hand smoke and taking an unfair slice of the healthcare budget
Hold up! Are you saying all Americans are not orange chimpanzees?!? Wow I better start fact checking my local media.
despite your gruffiness and stick it comments, I’ve learnt you’re one of the kindest people of this forum Hoosier. It’s nice to know tongue in cheek humour transcends boarders
Please refrain from spreading vicious rumors that could ruin my carefully cultivated reputation.
EeeweBut not a word against under age sheep sex!
I don’t know if it’s been said somewhere in the thread but TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, hookahs/shisha isn’t “smoking”.. it’s vaporizing.
Folks,
I'm so dribbly. It even starts before I have the pipe lit! Its the anticipation.

Obviously, pipe smokers have no muscle in the legislature. The way this is done some places is for lobbyists who have an interest run a sequence of pipe smokers -- lovable grandfathers, eminent jurists, people of the cloth, the legislatures' love interests, and similar influencers -- past the committee drawing up the bill to make everyone gasp and say, "This is a good bill, but not for THOSE PEOPLE. We must write in the loophole." Which they promptly do. And everyone gets a dozen tins of whatever blend they like. Problem solved. No lobbying, no relief. Most of the legislators who voted for this have never knowingly seen a pipe smoker, or forgot they did. Get busy, New Zealand pipe smokers. The time can move your way.
BROBS does seem to have a certain fondness for desserts, though. Strawberry Shortcake in particular. Or so I have heard,
Something like this has been on the cards for a while now. I live in NZ and have been purchasing pipe tobacco from overseas for almost 18 months and all of my packages have slipped through customs un-molested. I have also previously imported whole leaf tobacco but that became a hassle as it all had to be heat treated,for which they now charge about $100 to do, although no taxes had to be paid on it. The problem now though is shipping from the States is extremely slow due to covid, I've been waiting 6 weeks for a package, when previously it would take less than 2 weeks to arrive. I'll not be ordering more until shipping times are back to normal. I have managed to build a small cellar, perhaps 5 years worth, and will continue purchasing more in small amounts hoping that it will continue to be overlooked as it passes through customs. The price here for a 50 gram tin is about $120-$150, thats 10 times the cost that I can get I sent to me for.
