Thread: Pipe of the Day

A lot of money!
I bought some 200g tins of good tobaccos some years ago. It is much more cheaper than 50g tins. But I think SG you get only in 50g-tins.

I haven't seen tobacco sold here in more than 50g tins or pouches. If you can get it in bulk (more than 50g tin) here, I don't know. It wouldn't work out cheaper becuase much of the cost is government taxes for us.

This is a 100g tin, but I have 4-5 200g-tins of Tabakskollegium in my storage

Yeah for some reason the states are pretty cheap compared to everywhere else. Here a tin of sg 50g costs about 20.

Just got some SG choc Flake 50g tin 9.49 US

That means, I pay the double price!

I dunno Tom, I think we should just be getting our 'State-side' brothers to send us cheap tobacco products mate.


Mick

Yeah, brothers in US, please send us care-parcels to Germany and Australia!

Mid-priced pipe tobaccos (Petersons, SG's, Erinmores etc) are about 13-16 € / 50g tin (about 19-23 USD). Same tobacco as bulk is about 1-2 € cheaper. Expensive brands like WO Larsen is about 20 €/ tin. Cheaper brands like Red Amphora, Clan, Caravelle etc are about 8-10 € / 50g pouch.

I've seen SG's for sale at 250g boxes at some British website. Damn if i remember where it was. Cannot remember if it was any cheaper. I'm trying to find out. Will let you know.
Some time ago i was in Poland and i saw Dan Pipe tobaccos at 200 or 250g pouches.

Thanks for asking. From the medieval ages there's a sort of chain of castles or minor observing posts going along our whole southern coastline. Every place is situated the way that you can see the signal fire from the next. This castle has been a place of lesser importance. At least for what i know, archeologists or whatever museum people have made their researches there but that must have been decades ago.
Nowadays there is no much activity of any kind (mostly there's cows and sheep and occasional local people walking their dogs). There's no decent road, but you can only get there by boat or by very narrow path. Beautiful place it is with an interesting history.

Do you guys think we could sneak it past the Pleasure Police or would you just get raped paying taxes? Taxes on tobacco products here have gotten ridiculous lately but those taxes can for the most part be dodged by buying on-line (I'm sure the government will likely close that loop hole before long.)
