Update to my post..I've checked the numbers again and here they are.
Pack of 20 cigarettes $8.50
100g tin of Mac Baren Original Choice $74
If a pack of cigarettes is 20 grams then the "equivalent" pricing is...100g cigarettes $42.50 100g pipe tobacco $74
So, not triple the cost, for sure, but certainly almost double.

...in Canada? This must be B&M pricing, because you could buy from online much cheaper than that.
In twenty years, tobacco will be illegal, books will no longer be on a printed page, and movie theaters will be a thing of the past. The world I grew up in and love is dying. The brave new world can kiss my ass.
Yep Duane, the day we the people voluntarily admit that we humans are too stupid to control their own vehicle, so we need self-driving cars is the death of everything we value.
And I figured Canada or Australia would be a good choice to immigrate ,but not more,after reading this news and members comments left to it, Hope Good Lord will save Germany and U.S to avoid this horrible destiny.
Yup....online purchases are not an option here from domestic suppliers as they will not send tobacco products by mail. I think its actually the law here.
I just placed an order for two tins of Original Choice from 4noggins. 200 grams, shipped, after accounting for the exchange rate, came to $55 CDN.
If I gave you a choice of 1 tin for $74 or two tins for $55, which would you take
We've have lots of Canadian members that use online vendors. But, I have no idea what a CDN is worth in real money, are they like pesos? Maybe you mean that you pay like 35 cents? :

Ummm..not quite
1 Canadian dollar is worth $0.77 US today
In other words, for every US dollar in my 4noggins cart, I pay about $1.33
My complete order came to just under $40 US including shipping, so the $55 I quoted was probably a bit high, but the bank charges for the currency exchange.
Just wait until you get an order nabbed by Canada Customs with the tax and duty they add and the $10 charge from Canada Post for collecting the charges from customs. :crying:

I would agree that money is certainly a factor but I would add that it is more about control. Control over the lives of people is at the root of the European Union, and the globalist movement in general. Reference was made to Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World," and it's an accurate analogy to the state of the world today. The same can be said of George Orwell's "1984," and "Animal Farm" as well.
Huxley and Orwell wrote these novels as cautionary tales; to warn us of what might happen but instead of heeding their warning we allowed an unelected, bureaucratic, regulatory "state" to use them as "how-to" manuals.
Brexit was a step in the right direction as was the U.S. Election. It looks like France, and possibly Italy will follow Britain out of the EU as well. Let's hope...
The best antidote for 1984 is 1776, and if the globalists can't read the writing on the wall, perhaps they'll need a taste of 1793-1794.
