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!
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.
