    Saga of Tobacco cost: Manitoba

    Once upon a time, sure. Once it became factually diss-provable I would have hoped they would stop... smokers collectively contribute faar more "tax money" to a 1st world country than they cost it in medical costs, so that argument has no legs to stand on. "Smoking is bad for you", sure, but so...

    That's good, kinda :) most aus states seem to be more realistic about what is a "dangerous weapon" than out pollies have done. As someone who does instinctive knife throwing it was a NIGHTMARE trying to get any sent here, years of trying. Doesn't matter that they are 100% blunt, have no handle...

    You are more than welcome :) That makes sense, I did think it might burn cooler in the hand if it's a larger/thicker shape, however I did wonder how it could actually make the smoke cooler. I find you're right, cadence, ensuring a proper moisture level and careful packing/tamping to have faar...

    I was going to say "that's not so bad", until I read the bit about a pouch too... if I added the price of a pouch to one of my voyagers it would jump up to 360$ :/ Lovely pipe by the way! Is it vulcanized? I think that whole line might be... I would like to get a few on the Author, Apple...

    I know this is only "topic adjacent", but... how much does a basic Brigham pipe (rusticated voyager range type thing) actually cost in your respective area's? It's around 193$ for the bottom of the range here. I have 2 brigham voyagers, a #123 bent billiard and an #147 bent Dublin, both "1...

    Hahaha we are... no dip (wet tobacco/chewing tobacco, hookah tobacco ect), no snuff, no paste (the euro version of wet snuff, except in paste form) and of RYO tobacco and pipe tobacco we are allowed to enter our country with... drum roll please... 1.7oz/a single 50gram tin/pouch :( If I could...

    Oh we have some ragingly atrocious politicians :/ hahaha and yeah, they tried. We were supposed to be a "smoke free" country by.... last year hahaha and it will never happen. Even with prices as they are and going up every year, sometimes twice, black market tobacco and smash and grabs for...

    Saga of Tobacco cost: Manitoba

    Yeah it's really sad, misguided and unfair. However maybe I appreciate my pipes more than I would otherwise... I'm honestly not sure. I refuse to let that freedom die, there aren't many pipe smokers here and it might actually become illegal all together if we don't "represent". It just hurts the...

    Saga of Tobacco cost: Manitoba

    1 single 50g tin of decent pipe tobacco here in New Zealand is almost 200$... so it would cost me almost 4,000$ to buy 1 kilo of tobacco, and it is wildly illegal to import any... there is 1 tobacconist in the country.... it's insane, it's cruel and it's unjust. We are not even allowed to see...
