A b&m in KY that has good house blends is Straus Tobacconists in Florence KY. Now, I don't know how often if ever you make it to that part of the world, but they are worth a visit even if for just their seasonal blends.

@@TheNovicePiper My local brick and mortar is called Straus Tobacconis and it's really nice. They have some good house aromatics, including a couple seasonal blends: Sleepy Hollow in the fall and Wenceslas at Christmas. That's really the only shop I get to go to regularly. I try to support it when I can. Like you, I struggle to pay the tin prices of $25, but I buy the bulk house blends.

If it's any consolation to not buying from B&M I myself have to buy tobacco from Germany to Scotland simply because I can at the very least twice the amount of tobacco as I can in the UK and that's with shipping on top of that. The base price here for a 50g tin of basically anything they have is £20 which at current rate is $25 but anything really premium can easily hit £30 ($38) It's just awful really the amount the UK is taxed on tobacco that in some cases I can buy 2 tins of say EMP for the price of 1 tin over here, Not to mention the hundreds of blends that you just simply cannot buy in the UK for instance Cornell and Diehl unless you are buying from another piper you cannot buy a brand new tin of it in the UK.

@@CUKU93 I knew you guys had wild taxes on tobacco but I had no idea you can't get Cornell and Diehl. That's insane! You're right, I do feel some consolation now. It's incredible that grown adults can't simply do as they please without being bothered.

@@TheNovicePiper Yeah it's insane that an adult can't simply live their life but at the same time if you are an alcoholic the taxes are pretty lenient and you can also get money from the government to help fund your habit.. There is also another thing that annoys me is I see so many Americans ect smoking blends that have Scottish names like Loch Lommond ect and those are just not a thing here in the country they are named after.
