[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 556685, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]For multiple reasons, be it legislation, social mores, etc., I have the fear that the tobacco I enjoy may soon be unavailable via the internet for shipping to Minnesota. Several states have various shipping tobacco prohibitions and I expect MN to very soon prohibit the shipment of all tobacco products into MN. Local shops have very limited selections of pipe tobacco and the MN tobacco tax is 70% of wholesale. A bulk tobacco that I purchase on-line for $2.00 oz, currently in a St. Paul B&M is $6.00 oz. MN tobacco retailers are lobbying very hard to enact the prohibition. It also appears that UPS, FedX, and USPS may soon be prohibited from shipping tobacco products interstate. In recent years MN passed legislation that prohibits the shipment of spirit alcohol into the state, so I expect tobacco will follow. So, while the mortality tables are saying I should have enough tobacco to last me till the grave, I'm still blending and buying.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
