Many of us had high (but a tad unrealistic?) hopes for a new locale of pipe pilgrimage in the West
Tobacco shops are booming in asia, legislation is far more sympathetic there

14 minutes is very long to rant about local (Kentucky) taxes and bureaucracy. And yes, it has implications for all jurisdictions.
Perhaps you could summarize to save folks the time?

Dear Lord where is he from?! My mother's mountain family members don't even speak with that heavy of an accent.
Interesting points he makes about a B&M needing personal information. Schwab's and Straus only know me by name and still do business with me.
The story doesn't quite add up. The sort of info he's claiming to be obligated to supply is for an online business, not a brick and mortar. Of all of the B&M's with whom I've been a walk-in customer over the years, probably a couple of dozen in California alone, exactly NONE of them has requested that information.
Online stores are a different matter, and states are requesting that information to make sure that taxes are paid on online sales.

I was having visions of Foghorn Leghorn.
I say, well I say you've got a point there.
An anti-regulation rant for sure. Nothing I heard addressed society's aversion to smoking which is what drives the various governments, politicians seeking vote always play their base, cater to their base as they depend on them for maintaining their position. The poor guy simply doesn't understand what is really occurring, society as a whole abhors smoking ergo, elects politicians with similar views. He was even advised not to get into the tobacco. Sage advice he chose to ignore.
interest is the biggest one. Just not enough of us to especially on local levels. I think the best thing we can do is be visible and act as part time ambassadors for pipe smoking.
Indeedy!
I made sure to see if you were posting after the flooding... good to know you're ok.
Thanks, most of it blew over Central Kentucky. We got quite a bit of thunder and lightning but little to no rain out of it. The eastern counties got hit hard. A friend of mine sent me photos of his house underwater.
He's from SC, just moved to Kentucky recently. When I first heatd him I thought it was a fake accent.
I live in the North GA mountains, very close to NC and SC. The accent in the video is normal around here. It's especially thick in the mountains and lessens the further down the mountain you get.
Some these bureaucrats definitely need a holiday in Cambodia, for sure
Yeah that was the part that freaked me out , thinking about opening a B&M myself , Kentucky is out , if that’s how it be there …
True I run B&M skateshop and haven’t had any problems just have my EIN # and make sure to pay my Taxes , when I talked to my distributors about starting an online thing , they were like don’t do it , too much red tape , but I can’t imagine the hell dealing with the ATF , we‘ll see I guess
