I think I have some 15 or 20 year old tins of that, should break one open and try it again.Quote:

Have any of you used smokingpipes.com for repairs

So I just ordered a tin of gawith hoggarth's dark birdseye. I'm hoping it's fairly close to their dark flake, especially for the price i paid. 305 NOK, which is something like $38 or £28.50 for a 50g tin. Not the worst prices though, I've seen cabbie's mixture at the equivalent of $56 a tin. Norway's not the place to buy tobacco.
$56 a tin ......ouch !
Yup. I think about two thirds of it is tax now. I usually stock up when I go back to England and can only bring 250g before I have to start paying duty on it at $36 per 100g.Quote:

Nice and smooth though, no biting back at all. I still prefer dark flake though.
