Pipe Tobacco from JR
I notice their prices are competitive ... but it would appear that you have to add $2.50 PER ITEM up to 5 items. That would add $12.50 to an order of 5 tins. Can this be correct?

I'm not a fan of their shipping policy, but I still think you're ahead of the game on one or two, or even three tins, though.
Looking at Cup 'o' Joes, a tin of C&D Kajun Kake is $9.75, while JR is $6.50. A 5 lb bulk bag being shipped for $2.50 isn't bad, either.

OK - but look at www.smokingpipes.com prices and figure in shipping...
ALTHOUGH - For a 5 pound bag as you suggest, it is a bargain ...

I just worked up identical orders of 2 tins of Junkyard Dog (JR was out of KK) and JR came out 3 bucks cheaper.
