More lines to follow soon in time for Christmas 2010
Falcon pipes are among the best selling worldwide. The Falcon system is is defined by its central cooling tube, this produces a cool smoke. Goo is trapped in the stem line ensuringa clean dry smoke. We currently have a selection of Falcon Pipes for sale strating from £28.50.
Please note that we can now only offer delivery by UK Mail for England and Wales. We regret we have had to omit Scotland due to high delivery charges imposed by UK Mail.
Due to the possibility of postal strikes in the run up to Christmas this year we will be adding the option to have your orders delivered by another courier from Wednesday 21st October. Details will be added to the web site later today, Tuesday 22nd October, giving you the option to choose between Royal Mail 1st Class at £2.25 per order or UK Mail at £3.99 per order. The advantage of using UK Mail is that this is a track and trace service and has insurance of up to £1000, it will also be unaffected by the Royal Mail strikes as UK Mail use their own workforce to deliver packets. Should you be out when they try to deliver they will leave you a card informing you of a failed delivery attempt and that they will deliver again the following day. Alternatively you can pick your parcel up from one of their many depot’s providing you take your card with you. Unfortunately this service is only available for mainland UK and so does not include the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, outer islands of Scotland or Northern Ireland.
I am considering stocking a range of Oliver Twist tobacco bits and would appreciate comments or feedback from anyone who knows of this product or thinks they may like to try it.
Oliver Twist are small pieces of tobacco (tobacco bits which you place between gum and cheek) and come in a variety of different flavours. The tobacco bits have a natural content of nicotine making them an obvious alternative to pharmaceutical nicotine products, which are used for smoking cessation.
Each box of Oliver twist contains 7 grams which is the equivalent of approx. 30 tobacco bits and is available in the following flavours: Original, Tropical, Royal, Eucalyptus and Arctic. Currently priced at £3.85 per box.
Advantages of this product:- Can be used as a supplement to other tobacco types or for smoking cessation, Can be used whenever and whereever- regardless of any smoking ban, Does not contain tar or carbon monoxide and is made from tobacco containing natural nicotine.
