Started my morning with a MM full of Low Country Waccamaw, a strong Italian roast coffee and a splash of Wild Turkey American Honey (they say hair of the dog will help ya on a rough morning after). Pictures will be up soon.

Awesome! A classics pairing there. Nothing complex, but good simple tobacco. Enjoy your cob!
I would just love to find an $8 dollar tobacco here...Hell, I'd love to fine a $20 tobacco! We fork out just short of $40 for a tin/pouch of tobacco for the cheap stuff! Some tobacco's are much more! Most of that price is government taxes.

Luckily, I can order from the US. I've yet to get dinged, though I'm sure it will happen eventuality. Our prices on tobac are pretty high, too.
And i thought we have it expensive here :confused:
Decent tobaccos like SG, Capstan, Germains and Erinmores are about 10-14 €/50 g (1,75 oz) tin and some 'sophisticated' blends like WO Larsens and Dunhills costs for few € more. Cheap end tobaccos like Amphora, Clan or local blends are about 6-8 €/pouch. Prices have gone high within few years. About 50-60% of these prices are taxes.
I usually visit at our southern neighbors few times a year and get me enough tobacco to get going for few months. SG's, Rattrays etc costs about 8-9 €/tin.
Cheapest place i've been was probably Kosova (part of the former Yugoslavia), but that was years ago. Also last time i visited Spain few years ago, Capstans were about 6€/tin (surprisingly far from tourist areas).
