My mother is travelling to England soon, and asked me what sort of souvenir she could bring back... the gers started turning and I realized this was a great chance to try a few UK blends that are elusive on this side of the pond.
Two questions, thanks in advance for your expertise:
1. What blend should I ask for that's worth getting and can't be found in the US? (All the better if it's widely-available; I don't want to send my dear mum on a scavenger hunt.)
2. What's the Duty-Free allowance for pipe tobacco? Any personal experiences? The official site doesn't mention it at all, and the closest guideline I found only said "a reasonable amount," and I assume you have to claim it's for personal use. I don't imagine one or two tins is going to raise any eyebrows, but any input would be helpful.
