[QUOTE="Northern Neil, post: 290082, member: 2870"] After reading this thread I started looking into tobacco legislation in my province of Alberta. I found a law that states it is illegal for an individual to hold over 1000 grams (2.2 pounds) without a tobacco retailer license. The punishment for a first offense is a $10,000 fine AND / OR 30 days in prison. Doubles for second offense. Now, I have a feeling this is in place to help fight the organized crime / black market sales of cigarettes and cigarillos, considered a "labeled tobacco product". However, "non-labeled tobacco products," the name they give luxury loose leaf pipe tobacco and cigars, as well as labeled tobacco products, mentioned above, are both included in this law. That means a lot of these "cellars" I am reading about from the American Brothers are pretty damn illegal where I live. Just some food for thought. [/QUOTE]
