[QUOTE="brando71, post: 142589, member: 1109"] Who has bread has no teeth (North America and Europe situation) and [i]vice versa[/i] (South America situation)... adaptation from an old italian proverb. It means that here in Colombia you can smoke almost everywhere (not in the health structures, of course) but really you don't enjoy this privilege because the market offer very poor choice of pipe tobaccos and cigars. Here you can buy some OTC tobaccos and nothing else. I have to buy all my tobaccos in internet from the US, Switzerland and Germany. Otherwise, the italian legislation don't allow tobacco shipment by mail so I can't buy tobaccos from my country. To make it more tough, mostly of the US online vendors don't ship to Colombia but fortunately, I hold a mail box address in Miami with a company that reship everything I bought from the US to my home here. About pipes, in Colombia you can find only few commercial brands as Peterson, Stanwell, Vauen but nothing about high grade pipes, I have to buy my italian ones from ebay auctions or from italian websites. So, as you see, the situation for a pipefellow is a bit difficult here. Anyway, I found my way to follow my passion. [/QUOTE]
