Today the British Pound is $1.14! It's worth checking British retailers if you're looking for anything, though I think most of them only ship pipes and accessories, not tobacco. I just ordered a Falcon with two bowls and a Peterson pipe for about $115, including shipping. They have a Peterson series, the Liscannor, with an acrylic fishtail stem, that I've never see here in the US.
Some things to remember:
Prices shown will often DROP once you indicate you're shipping to the US, as we don't have to pay their approx 17% VAT tax!
Your credit card may charge you for the currency conversion. Mine is only 1%, which is pretty good. This is often better than selecting the US Dollar prices quoted on British sites, but check on the currency conversion charges with your credit card provider first.
Check the shipping charge before you buy to make sure it's reasonable.

who were vouched for by several of our fine British members. They may wish to suggest others, as different vendors have different things in stock.
The euro is now at parity with the dollar, and I know several people here buy tobaccos unobtainable here from Europe, so that's worth checking also. Maybe I'll look at those HU tobaccos I keep hearing about... Cheers!
