Hi folks,

I live in Montreal. I just broke up with my Vermont girlfriend. I have about 40 Tins of sealed tobacco there, that I was slowly bringing back home, 4 tins at a time, as per border patrol allowance.

Now that we've left each other, I want my tobacco!

Is there anyone who can take it off my hands for 20% off retail price? Or does anyone regularly come into Canada for work or secondary residence, that would bring some back and mail it to me within Canada, for a handsome reward of a few tobacco tins?

Thanks

If you want to sell tobacco I'm sure you've seen the subforum for that and rules therein.

I assuming the bit about someone on here making 10 trips to Canada via Vermont as your "mule", lol, is somewhat tongue in cheek.

Sounds like the border patrol must have really ramped up security since the days I used to drive up to Canada and go fishing (not all that long ago) - it was pretty much "come on in and welcome" and that was about it - only issue I ever had was once with US ATF on the way back (very serious pr___s that day for no reason).

Head to Vermont, get your tobacco back, pay the duty and realize its the you know what you get for the you know what you got and enjoy some of the most expensive tobacco to be found!

If Trump has his way and annexes Canada, you won’t have to worry about the border patrol. :)

Did you break up with her? If you did then that tobacco has been opened, emptied into a big pile and then she pissed on it. Probably be ok if you dry it correctly.

This opens up a potential new level of Tinbids style, niche-market enterprise..

Also, I can't wait for a new member to join up in the next few weeks and show of his new cellar, courtesy of his new girlfriend.

I broke up with someone over the phone only a couple hours away years and years ago knowing full well I was forfeiting a little color TV and a handmade custom fly rod I'd made myself and had let her borrow - no way I was driving over to get any of it - didn't give me even a moment's pause, the girl I'd been wanting to go out with since I first saw her years before was now a senior in college, 21, and had said "yes" to my visiting her and going out on a real date - that was October of 1986 - been married 37 1/2 years!

If it were me I would rent the cheapest self storage locker available and keep it stateside. Then every time you cross the border bring a few tins with you. Over time you will have brought everything and can cancel the storage locker.

Another strategy is to use FedEx's small box (thin box). It should be wide enough for flat tins. Mark the shipping label "documents" and take your chances.

Not going to happen. Canadians are crazy. Seriously under the polite exterior lies the heart of a psychopath.
Seriously read the war letters Canadians send home. They're so prone to saying things like, missing you but man you're missing out on the most fun a person can have. During world war one they'd throw food into no mans land let the other side feel safe running to grab it and then unless death.
They're the worlds quite neighbor.

I agree with you, notwithstanding my off color joke.
