Pipe tobacco, tinned or bulk, is much much more inexpensive online than at any brick and mortar store. But then there is the potential expense of customs. If you are going to be in Florida for at least several days to a week, you might try this. Place your order on the phone and explain the situation, so the retailer will understand the order must be expedited. Have the order shipped to your hotel (or better yet a friend's address if you have one at the destination). Then you can pick up your order there with no customs. As you see, tins run about $10 to $12, USD, online, sometimes a little more or less, and bulk is around half to 3/4 of that (I'm guessing, sorry if I'm off a bit). So the whole purchase should be around half price compared to Canada. smokingpipes.com is on the east coast and in the south, so it should be a quick delivery. Just an idea. You might call your hotel to see if they have any problem with parcels sent to guests. Business travelers frequently have cases of literature or exhibits sent to hotels, so it seems easy. If you try this, I hope it works well. Don't want to gum up the works.
Presume you have some Blatter & Blatter pipes; what a great resource. All of the happiness isn't south of the border.
