Yeah, been tempted on it. Walked in and saw it. Bought it. This shop's tin selection has gotten nice.
Wouldn't temp me anyways
SP usually does a flat discount and lowers the threshold for free shipping.

Taxes in this state are brutal. 80%, so we don’t see tins anymore.
if you haven’t had Bobs chocolate flake yet, I hope your enjoy it. I finally got to try it and it’s a secluded island tobacco for me.

That's insane. And here I thought 20% was tyrannical.

Remember to forget me!
Here, the excise duty is £134.24/kg for pipe tobacco (305.32/kg for cigars), and then there's 20% VAT on top of whatever the price works out at after the duties are added. So if a 50g tin costs £16.00, the taxes included within that price are £9.48.
Monstrous. Nearly $5 an ounce in taxes. Punishing taxes like that start revolts!

We've had a few flare up over petrol prices now and again, but not tobacco. I think as we have the NHS to pay for, and there's a reasonable chance we might need them later, a lot of smokers just consider it compulsory health insurance built into the price of the smoke
They can't grumble about having to look after us, after all the money we've paid in

Pipe smokers live longer than non-smokers under the ‘64 Report.
The NHS should be paying you.
In any event, Happy Puffs to you today!

That's a great haul! Have you had Grousemoor before? I finally got my hands on a tin. I enjoy the tin note but I need to try it in a few pipes before I can say I enjoy it. I think it might be really nice in the spring and summer.
Now that’s a variety pack! Very nice order.
Looks like Sir Walter took a head shot. A great reason to smoke him first!

I have. I really like it, and I haven't been able to get it for a while.

I ended up going with the Lane first, because that's the only one I hadn't tried yet. Pretty good stuff.
LLRR is very good. I’m moving to it as my daily, now that PA is drying up. A little more $, but worth it.
As long as the seal on the SWR isn’t breached, it can cellar indefinitely.
Happy puffs to you!
Just what I need ... more pipe tobacco.
I finally bought a little of a blend I’ve never tasted. SPC Plum Pudding SR.
I like its regular cousin. Guess I’m going to find out what all the hubbub is about.

It is excellent. I had a damaged tin from an order so jarred it after smoking 2 bowls. Then I moved. I’ve found all the other jarred stuff, but can’t find the jar with the PPSR.
This just showed up in the mail. No maker’s marks, a DEEP bowl, and best of all, it sits. I have some cleaning to do but it’s not extremely dirty.
What in the world?! I really like it, it’s really something.
Load that pipe and it takes half a tin of tobacco haha
I’m shocked it doesn’t have any markings. Whoever the carver was is good at what they did. It probably some ultra rare first carve of a well established pipemaker and worth thousands
It’s the only pipe I have that’s not a traditional shape. I paid less than $35 for it. It appears to be drilled straight, and will actually pass a pipe cleaner. Here’s a pick of the bowl. It’s kind of hard to tell but it’s drilled in a cone with a lot of cake buildup about 1/2 way down. All the stuff at the bottom is old tobacco that I’ll clean out tomorrow.
