Hypothetical Question:
Let's pretend that I have to mail a package to the UK. Let's further pretend that the package will contain tobacco. In this make-believe scenario, what would be the best method of disguising lying committing postal fraud effective yet benign obfuscation to avoid forcing the recipient to pay some outlandish government extortion fee?

I would say it depends on the amount of baccy. Look into possibility of oversized letter. Downside - you'd have to sent baccy in bags and it's a snail mail), upside - absolutely no forms to fill out.

If I was going to do this, I would be sending tins.
I was thinking about putting a sticker on it: "WARNING: CONTAINS HUMAN FECES"

Severe acute lower back pain, still don't know cause. Nothing they injected me with helped. May be MRI time.

Thanks! In the meantime I'm smoking some 2007 Stonehaven in a new to me Castello, impatiently waiting for my secret Santa gift to get to its home, can't wait to hear from the recipient!

Well I I haven't made it to the post office yet but I'm going today. It's better that way though as the tin will just be aged even more.

Vegas Baby!!!
Clickklick, good luck with the back pain.
My package has been shipped and as long as "customs" and "usps" cooperate, it won't be coming back.

Fingers crossed, ash!
Side note: pruss's work on this Secret Santa inspired me to set one up on my favorite cigar forum. Got forty people roped in, it took ages just to message everyone their targets. I have even more appreciation for pruss and his efforts on this thing, let's all give him another big thank you!!
