My one pound bag of blending Latakia has been "Held by Customs".
It's the one order that I really wanted to make it through before the door is shut forever.
Oh well, no use bitching. I'll have to try again next week & reorder another pound before the new laws are introduced on July 1st.

If the duty is not paid then it's destroyed. I learnt the hard way not to order pipes with tobacco because Customs destroys the entire package. |

That sucks, elric. It happened to me too and I left it to get sent back. Thankfully smoking pipes refunded me the order when the tobacco came back to them. |

Customs are a misnomer...should be called thieves at work.

If you refuse to pay the import duty that you rightfully owe, you should feel fortunate that they only destroy the package. I'm sure Australia has much nastier laws about smuggling that they could have brought to bear.

Thanks for the good cheer all. It always feels weird sharing my mail call, as I try to be humble. But I enjoy seeing all of your pipes and tobacco. I ran some Watch City Slices (1/4 bowl) to start breaking her in. ‘‘Twas a nice smoke.

Well...it's not tobacco related, but I did treat myself and ordered a nice, new set of $100.00 stirrups this week. Should be in Monday. |

Good looking pipe, James...yours' too, Ted...got a possibility of getting a rare piece of history...some War Horse Bar from the 60's and a sample from the 80's, courtesy of a member of another forum...sent him a tamper for the first little sample and have a box to go out Monday with several more to the same gentleman. Looking forward to sharing with some of my brothers.
