Okay, this is probably a worn-out question, but I must have been using the rest room every time it was answered. What's the reason why UK tobacco retailers won't ship to the US? Is it because of US credit card restrictions?

I found this in an English webshop:
Information on USA Shipments

We would like to apologize to all our customers in the United States of America. Due to new rules imposed by our credit card acquirer, we will no longer be able to accept credit card payments for Tobacco, Cigars or Snuff on this site.
We appreciate your custom but we have to abide by rules set by credit card companies. If you would like further information please email us and we will do our best to help you. We will be happy to supply all the other products on this web site as the ruling only applies to the purchase of TOBACCO LEAF PRODUCTS when accepting payment with a CREDIT CARD.
If you would like to get in touch regarding this matter please feel free to do so at information@mysmokingshop.co.uk
Thank you for your understanding on this matter.

Does this mean that UK credit card companies are banning sales and shipping of tobacco products to the US? Are there any Euro tobacco retailers that do ship to the States besides The Danish Pipe Shop?

There are UK dealers who will ship to the US. Bingo, Sable! The Backy Shop ships worldwide and has exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!  |

Mr.SNuff will also ship t the USA. My understanding is that the credit card issue sits with MasterCard. I've had no issues using VISA. I also buy from James Fox in Dublin with no issues and superior service.

Sorry about The Baccy Shoppe. I had looked over the site but had missed that part of the fine print. There's still Mr Snuff and JJfox.
