I just buy it at any local tobacco shop/cigar store.
They all charge about the same prices.
It will be labeled ‘pipe tobacco’ but it is the same thing as the cigarette tobacco before the 2,200% tax increase put on by Obumbles in 2009.
You are paying extra for nothing but the wording on the bag by buying cigarette tobacco now.

No, it's taxes. Obumbles raised the tax on cigarette tobacco 2,200% as soon as he took office.
But the tax on pipe tobacco didn't go up much. Today people buy their cigarette tobacco in a bag labeled ‘pipe tobacco’, but it is the same damn thing.

I was responding to a poster who was paying $45/lb for smooth pipe tobacco - that’s too much of a retail mark-up - I pay around $14/lb...well, unless that posters state tax on pipe is through the roof.
I have some tinned AS cigarette tobacco pre-SCHIP - it’s STILL good!

Wow, I misread that, he did say pipe tobacco!
I have never heard of anyone paying close to that much.
I can buy a couple brands for just under $12 a pound at several local stores.
