Nording compass pipes
Great for travel. Packed 2 of 'em in a backpack for a month and just alternated between the two. Great for that purpose and maybe working in the yard. Lightweight and great beaters.- geoffs

Sutliff 1849
I see it listed at $8 at a particular online retailer... guess this is a pricing anomaly.- geoffs

Sutliff 1849
Always wondered why this blend sells for so cheap. Usually perique commands a premium, too. Does anyone know why the low price point?- geoffs

Canadian Import Advice Help - Tax was 200%!
I have been charged $30 on a $4 pouch, and $35 on a 13 oz jug. I've also had over a pound sail through despite being "presented for review." There is no rhyme or reason, which is part of what makes it so infuriating when you get hit.- geoffs

smokingpipes will treat you well. They do charge a restocking fee and you'll be out shipping cost, but they will credit the balance.- geoffs

Canadian Import Advice Help - Tax was 200%!
The good news is if you refuse the package, depending on where you ordered from, you should get your money back, less a "restocking fee". I've seen customs assessments successfully challenged.

I buy from them all the time. Good stock at good prices can disappear within days, so you've got to keep checking. Cubans go fast too, even at these prices. And they do sell pipe tobacco as well.

Escudo Alternative
To my tastes, Viprati might be the most Escudo-like VaPer I've had... and it's much cheaper. Personally I like a little burley in my VaPers. If you're an English smoker you might like that too. The Rattray's holy trinity (in particular HOTW) and Savinelli Doblone D'oro are other faves.- geoffs
