The one I found is hacico.de , based in Germany. Still waiting for the order to arrive. They mostly carry cigars and EU made pipe tobaccos. I guess there is some shortage now because most blends were out of stock. Maybe check them out and if everything goes well, I'd be happy to accommodate a cigar or two for PSF members in the future.
Well, there ya go! You’re not in the EU? Just use a US company then unless there is tobacco you want that they can’t supply. I know they ship internationally. If any of my answers/suggestions have already been covered above it’s because I didn’t read everything very carefully. Lol

My apologies. I am not cultured enough to realize the recommendation I made was not European. I think in my mind the UK is a lot more than it really is. Lol.
"Good enough" is a false idol. Beware those that preach its virtue.

I read recently that the UK is almost exactly the same size as New Mexico

I am in the EU, so I can order tobacco from other EU countries up to a certain limit "for private use" and not pay any tax on it (because it's already paid in the country of origin).

Definitely no apology needed. The UK has always been half in the European Union and half outside - now to be fully outside... Geographically in Europe, yes, but now outside of the European Economic Zone (or whatever it's called).

As you can tell, this taxation situation is essential knowledge for the remote pipe smoker :D

For future reference, my order from hacico.de arrived today. Everything seems to be in order, no complaints. Will follow up with a larger order...
