I smuggled tobacco into the UK when I went. I also smuggled UK tobacco back to the states. No you can't get Amber Leaf, Golden Virginia, etc. in the US. I didn't recognize a single brand ('cept for Marlboro and Drum) while I was over there.

Promise me you'll stay away from Top and Gambler Pick up some American Spirit and you won't be disappointed. Bugler is alright, but gets sickening pretty quick.

As for prices, you'll be happy to know you will be paying about half the price (edit: maybe even less depending). We don't go by grams here, we still go by the ounce system . You'll be getting 3/4 ounce pouches on average. American Spirit comes in 1.15 ounce pouches IIRC.

Thread reminds me of when I was in college. Used to roll my own, man they went up to 60 cents a pack then.

Thanks for that guys, guess I'll just take enough for the trip over then (won't be able to smoke much between leaving home and getting to where I'm going)

Just to give you an idea I had about 42 grams of tobacco (1.5 ounces) when I went to the UK. This was in June and July. I didn't have any problem with it. It was on my person and I had no questions asked, wasn't told to check in with customs for it etc. Same thing on the way back, I had a large (what is that again? 25 grams?) pouch of Amber Leaf on my person and nothing was said for it.

You wouldn't have any problems with that much.
In 4 weeks I'll get through about 6 or 7 2oz pouches.
Think I'll just buy whatever when I get there.

No one smokes Bali Shag?  At $5.50 a pouch, its the best antidote to $8-$9 packs of smokes here in CHI.

Of course, it also keeps the bugs and snakes off your skin, like regular tobacco does.

I don't want to bum you guys out but here are my latest statistics, taken from the Mozilla Firefox programe I run.

Years spent smoking cigarettes: 38, give or take.

Quit date 30th of November 2006, the eve of my 53rd birthday.

Cigarettes not smoked since then 10,171.

Money saved $5085 NZD.

Last milestone, 16,200 hours without a gasper, which is what they are, literally.

I'm bloody PROUD that I quit. I'm walking between 60 and 100 kilometers a week up on the tracks behind the city I live in.The tracks are 50% uphill to varying degrees and I feel the burn in my legs and lungs when I really get going. I like the feeling!

I will NEVER smoke again!!!!!!

A friend suggested I mention Bali to Sam. I'm not a smoker but have no problem with those who do.
I use to be a tobacco farm hand.

I just quit last year after eleven years. I love tobacco. If I made over eighty grand a year I would smoke again. The smoke never affected my preformance.  I was a pack and a half a day guy. I just did a lot of running and biking. That fights that nasty winded feeling you get if you smoke and try to walk up stairs.

Any way I agree that for the most part it is a smart idea to stop. Though all my friends don't smoke, oh well.

Sam things have probably changed from when I lived in the States but I couldn't get Canadian "Export" tobacco from Imperial in California but what I could get was HO & WD Wills which I think was a virginia tobacco that was imported from the UK it wasn't the same as "export" but it wasn't sweet like american tobacco, so once a month I'd hop on the bike and head down to the financial district in LA to the high end tobacconists and pick up 3 cans of roll your owns, can't remember about papers.
