I’ve only traded with one or two people - from England - to get hard to find pipe tobaccos in the US. Germain’s Rich Dark Flake, Gawith Plugs, GQ blends. I’m too lazy - so I don’t generally trade. I did a little with @noisebox, but that was for a couple of FlipBoxes.
It’s a bummer it’s an issue - that people would take folks for a few bucks worth of powdered tobacco.
Funny you should mention the Wharf Rats, @Hitsuzen. As a one time friend of Bill’s (long story), the WR’s were (maybe still are) a group that had meetings at set breaks. I went to them for a couple years in the 93-94 range.
