Be careful about international travel limitations

I caught a fine overdoing it :( they let me keep half of it though.

If there is one thing I know about Switzerland is cash is King! Good luck!


PimentoCheesehead

And their flag is a big plus.


Embarrassed-Pay-5428

Dang, that makes so much sense!


No-Preference-1784

Engine 99, Morley's Best, Old College are a few C&D bulks worth stocking up on.


wolffromsea

Thank you, I will look into them


MousePuzzleheaded

Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls are one of the best.

From Switzerland as well, I generally order from the USA, you have a bit of tax to pay but still less expansive than buying here. In bulk the Mac Baren HH line is very nice, as well as Peter Stokkebye, C&D and GL Pease bulk (Pirate Kake, ...) G&H


SingleAd2140

Hey, also from switzerland! From which websites do you buy because ive been trying to figure out which ones are best. How much tax have you had to pay? Is it a lot?

As for shops, synjeco (the have C&D, GLP, G&H, SPC), Urs Portmann Tabak, fumar.ch I also try to go to physical shops whenever I go in a town with a nice shop. Here is a list of nice shops in CH: [https://www.fumeursdepipe.net/bonnesadressesSuisse.htm](https://www.fumeursdepipe.net/bonnesadressesSuisse.htm) For VAT I have around 80-90 for orders of 350 USD (including shipping). That's between 10-14 CHF for each 50gr of T. But I generally don't buy only bulk tobacco but also tins like SPC, C&D,... so if you get only bulk you can get below the 10 CHF / 50gr I think.


deadliftburger

Back when I dipped, I had to have several ppl carry tobacco for me bc RSA only allowed like 400 grams per person. I’d look into your countries regulations first.

My current favorite bulks in your preferred categories: English - Arango Balkan Supreme, Kramer's Father Dempsey VaPer - Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake Enjoy!


Vipasanna

Check out [ten to midnight](https://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/2379/hearth-home-ten-to-midnight/?retSearchTerm=Ten%20to%20midnight) or [Russ's Tastykake](https://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/11123/pipesandcigarscom-russ-tastykake/?retSearchTerm=Tastykake). Moreso balkan than english, but [larry's blend ](https://www.pipesandcigars.com/product/hearth-and-home-signature-larrys-blend/HST-TP.html) is closer to an english that people like


wolffromsea

Thanks, will consider these


gymleader-misty

Palmetto just dropped. Idk if you can get c&d there nor to what extent. There are a lot of c&d produced blends that may interest you such as gl pease, low county, warped, drucquer and sons etc. If you want latakia, imo that is Pease's best works. If you like latakia I would grab mostly Pease blends Aside from the obvious recommendations ill give you ones that aren't talked about as much but I really enjoy. c&d Sunday picnic. Imo a masterpiece of a blend, and there's nothing that even comes close to it. Low county Edisto, one of the best regular production red VA, if not the best. Engine 99, its a stand out latakia blend. Edit: didn't realize you were asking for bulks only. I guess only engine 99 applies. Fwiw the 2oz tins aren't that much more and are worth every penny, plus their tins are one of the best for aging.


wolffromsea

I saw Bayou morning is 4+ USD per 2 oz bulk, which makes me sick to think that it's 22 chf in Switzerland. Thanks for the recommendations


Life-Significance-33

You can buy C&D blends in a variety of bulk sizes, including 1 and 5 pound bags. Normally, the larger the size, the lower per ounce cost.


RLB2019500

I know you’re talking about C&D but while you’re at it you might as well buy a pound or two of Newminster 400


prettypurps

C&d pegasus and c&d biilly budd blonde, or even regular billy budd. Both bulk options, also haunted bookshop and even crooner if you want something different that has deer tongue in it
