I believe LJ Peretti will also ship anywhere and everywhere if you call.

Yeah, but this guy needs a bootlegger, not somebody on the up-and-up. Piretti hasn't been in business umpteen years to run afoul of Canadian customs agents. Piretti has got to be playing by the book, which means excise taxes will apply.
Theyll ship it, but the buyer has to pay all fees if they catch the package. There is nothing illegal about shipping tobacco to Canada

Not if they voted for Castro’s Son.
I think in the final anazlysis, and due to the way there are several parties and weights given, that only something like 11% of the country voted for him, and his staying in office recently was due to some back end deal he made with the smaller party for who knows what kickbacks, to retain power until 2025.

He can't go anywhere here without getting drowned out with boos and such...
Know the feeling.
God and Texas!

Y&ea i think it's 4noggins then that i used to use, something about it not being questioned if the weight is under a certain amount, i'll follow up with them and hope for the best 8-)

Unless the laws have changed , which they very well may have , you can legally send a mild amount as a gift with no repercussions . Looking at their customs website was a bit vague of course . I still haven't received an email from them , which isnt surprising

You're right, when I used to make the trip by car it was a 7oz max. That will be my second option, currently contacting rich from 4noggins to see hid take. I recall him being super helpful in the past. Once I figure the method I'm gonna go into systematic stocking mode 🤪 . I need OGS for years to come

I dont think Rich owns 4Noggins anymore. And the new owner never responds to emails. Its best to try and call. But I heard they still dont answer

Seems you are right, I can't reach him. Do you know of any Canadians on this forum that would know if the deal is still on?
