Tobaccos You Can't Get In America

[mrgunnar177]

So I have a friend across the pond who is willing to ship me over tobaccos. So suggestions? 3 nuns...'and?

Thanks

Gunnar

I'm not sure there are any legal ramifications if the total weight is below that allowed bu US Customs. Check there web site on how much is allowed duty free. As far as I know, the only tobacco on the official no-no list is Cuban; so be careful there.

Different Orliks (Yellow, Brown, Green), Larsen Blends (32,50), Peter Heinrichs (Cologne), Bennung (St. Ingbert) #120, Hubert (Munich) English.

I'm pretty sure that is right.

Gauntley's has some perique blends that sound interesting to me.

 

[mrgunnar177]

He will bring them back with him.

For the record "willing to ship me over tobaccos" implies using the mail and is not the same as having someone tote some back duty free in their luggage.
I now know what you meant.
Where are they going? That would greatly affect what blends are available and what they can bring back.
By the way, Three Nuns is supposedly a shadow of its former self and doesn't even contain perique anymore so keep that in mind if you can only bring back 3-4 blends. There may be better choices out there.

At first we were gonna ship it over but because of the replies to this thread we have decided to just ship it back in his luggage.

Is he in the UK or somewhere in the continent? I would imagine the selection can be quite different...

 

[judcole]

Simenon has a very valid point. Where is he?

 

[mrgunnar177]

He's just north of Yorkshire. So yes UK

 

[hfearly]

Mmmh UK. Can't get anything there! These folks order most of their stuff from 4noggins in the US ;-)

I would say:
Mick McQuaid Plug

Revor Plug

Warrior Plug
Also easy to get at any British grocery store:
St. Bruno Flake

Walnut Flake
And as yohanan said above, that Germains Rich Dark Flake

very very close to Stonehaven:

I've sent tobacco to USA without any issue. The only reason that you can't order direct from a UK retailer is because the US restrict what can be paid for on a credit card outside America. I know this is being challenged by gambling websites as an unfair restriction on world trade.
