Sure, except the customs regulations are very clear on the topic. Cigarettes and smokeless tobacco cannot be shipped to an individual, Cigars can, but are limited to 20 at a time and pipe tobacco is not regulated when shipped to an individual. It’s spelled out in their regulations online. When I had problems with customs on an Estervals order, the specific customs agent I dealt with is the one who pointed me to these rules. She said she was going on the assumption that my order was for commercial purposes, not to me as an individual, so she was requiring that I either prove it’s for my personal use, which is impossible unless I sat there and smoked it all in front of her, or provide my business tax license. By the way, the customs agent actually told me that I should quit smoking during my conversations with her. Nice of her to have your back. Yeah, but it sucks donkey balls that we have even gotten to this point. We are on the road to serfdom, when we even suggest that this is acceptable. Tobacco… really? We have accepted the notion that this is acceptable… pretty friggin stupid. |

The wife picked up this drone for me... $60.00, discounted 76%...not sure what the price will be when you click on the link: www.amazon.com/dp/B0CH341G5FI had one other drone that was a piece of junk, the best gaming type of individual would have a hard time flying it and after the first few flights it would not leave the ground.This one is quite different, when you launch it, it had pre-programmed 6 ft height and is stable, the controls are easy and forthright and after downloading the app, my phone sits in the cradle and has excellent resolution on the display. The 6 axis gyro stabilizer makes it very stable and smooth...pretty impressed. Taking it to The Navajo and Hopi nation tomorrow. |

It's actually easy to fly but I still need more practice. I'm not good with remote controls. I'm much better with ballistics. |

Me too...even though this one is user friendly, I decided to hit abort in my neighborhood, and it landed itself straight down with no bad results before venturing into someone else's back yard. Going to practice in the wide open spaces where the only fences are for keeping wild horses and burros off the road. At some point ballistically, we may need to be proficient at taking out drones, a Shotgun seems to be a good choice...if you are "The Rifleman", a lever action will do it. |

I'm pretty good with a lever action on running deer. For drones I have a 25 round magazine for the 12ga bullpup. |

As does Jiminks. The Cherry Cavendish is good. Not too much cherry and it's a natural topping. I don't think I would like the strawberry but if it's Wilke it's probably good. |

I placed a tobacco order earlier and by the weekend I should receive...
...200g of HH Pure VA Flake
...100g of McConnell's Scottish Flake
...and 50g of Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake (last tin from this vendor)
This will get added to the unopened tins that I already have on hand.

Nice. Last I knew, Scottish Flake was kinda hard to find. |

This one is not a reverse smoker either. I researched those and decided against them. I'll be using a combo of lump charcoal, pecan and mesquite. I'll be adding the internal baffle on the exhaust to lower the smoke intake and some LavaLock gasket to seal the worst leaks. Other than that, possibly a heat deflector on the firebox side. 👍 |

I've been justly ribbing the USPS via twitter lately, as their Informed Delivery tracking service has been up and down. It came back up just in time for me to learn that a Peterson Standard System 305 that I snagged on eBay is delayed and has been re-routed to somewhere in Detroit, after sitting in Indianapolis for 2 days.
I live 3 hours due north of Indy in South Bend, so the package bypassed my house and kept going a total of 3 hours northeast instead of stopping. It was due to be in my hands yesterday. Now I won't see it before Saturday at the earliest, probably Monday if I'm really lucky.

I have a buddy in Pennsylvania, and his pipe purchase hit about 20 stops before it made it to him… pretty strange. |

My tobacco order wasn't delivered today because it had to sit around in the Akron distribution center, less than an hour away, for twenty four hours.  |
