Hey Gentlemen!
Dean from Japan here...
I just recieved my tabacco order from Boswells. Yummy Vanilla Cream, Chocolate Cream, Penn Dutch Treat, and Boswell's Best. An order of $30.00 American. I got a beautiful pipe too....a nice rusticated bent with the bottom of a shotgun shell as a band on the stem. (Looks really nice!!!)
On with the story: In Japan, customs opens every package that comes into the country. I had never been charged for tabacco coming here before. Maybe this is because I have only gotten a few oz of tabacco at a time. Well, I ordered about a pound and a half of tabacco and got hit for an additional 4800 yen. That is about a $46.00 customs bill....more than I paid for the tabacco!!!! OUCH!
I have to check about how much I can order before customs starts charging me an arm and a leg.
What will happen when I start to order tins????
