what is your latest pipe purchase

[Cool Breeze]

I'm not sure what it is here, but that's just a stupid tax for pipe tobacco.....

Yeah its crazy.
We're pretty good on cigars. The tax is only fifty cents per stick, no matter the price. Same for a Padron 80 years or a Brickhouse.
That keeps our cigar prices within $1.00 of online prices, so I buy most of my cigars locally.

Can't do that with pipe tobacco.
Orlik Golden Sliced is $17.50 a tin at my shop. Not their fault though.
I buy bulk tobacco there every great now and then, but its rare.
