It has been a while since I have been online, i was internet-less for 40 days.
I have a few question concerning a trip my wife and I are planning to Great Britain in September. Specifically London, Oxford, and Bath. It is our first trip to the UK and I was hoping that some of you might have some experience in this area and could help me out.
My questions are as follows:
• Are there any regulations I should beware of before traveling with and smoking my pipe while in the UK?
I've traveled the US with my pipes fairly regularly with no problems.
• Are there any tobacconists I should visit/tobaccos & or pipes I should buy?
• Any other tips or tricks?
Thanks in advance! I'm glad to be back online with all of you. I have a lot of catching up to do!

You should be able to bring your pipes without any issue to and fro for your trip. There is a limit on pipe tobacco, which after looking online says the limit is 1 kilo (1,000 grams) of pipe tobacco. For tobacco you buy on your trip, I think I remember wanting to stay below 250 grams to avoid extra taxes, but that's it.
As for smoking your pipe in the UK, they're a bit stricter on where you can smoke, but if you just have your pipe while out and about, you should be fine.
Hope you have fun! Always wanted to see Oxford.
