Good Tidings We Bring! Secret Pipe Santa Thread!

[Haebar]

Finally got to open my present earlier this morning and boy oh boy what a surprise it was. Thank you so much @bluenoser (i think) for such a great collection of gifts!!!

Licorice pipes

Well Canada post and Canada border services decided I needed a new years gift instead of a Christmas gift, but it was definitely worth the wait. Haebar hit me hard.



I was getting low in pipe cleaners and have been wanting to get a pipe stand and new tool so right there it was a hit. Then to tack on some tins of stuff I haven't yet tried and a handy herf-a-dor. The only cob I own was my grandfathers and I don't want to use it so I've been really wanting to get one to try. And the little knife went on the key ring the moment I noticed it. Thank you for the wonderful gift!

I am relieved that you finally received the package! I had images of you having to pay lots of cash in duties and taxes based on a video that I saw on Youtube about Canadians buying tobacco online from the US. I'm glad that didn't happen. I'm glad that you are happy with it. Have a great new year!

I haven't had much trouble with duty at all. Of all the orders I've made I've only been hit twice, one of which they didn't notice and forgot to ask for payment. The one they did it was based off the declared value which wasn't much so duty was about $40. I would say the border services was backed up with the holiday causing slow crossing.

Thanks again and happy new year to you and the rest of the bums hanging around here!
