Twenty- five pounds? I'd guess the winery was responsible for most of that time. Jon and/or Dustin could give perspective from Belgium in a box tho.

Morning all.
Headed up to Memphis today. I am getting a fun character style portrait of my son tattooed, I will post pictures later.

I'm honestly not sure. My mom's sent a couple of boxes, but I forgot to ask how much it cost. We expected it to take quite a while, but it was actually relatively quick. Under two weeks both times.
Damn! That first picture actually stole some names I had for a few of my beers. Lame!

I might be down for something in the warmer months, depending on finances.
I was mainly just giving him a hard time. I would never expect anything from you friendlies. I would imagine that I would also have to pay taxes on it once it reached the post office. The government here loves to tax the hell out of alcohol.

From what I understand Norway has one of the highest tax rates in the world. I don't think it was top 5 but maybe in the top 10-15 or so.
Don't worry, Philly isn't too far behind. The new mayor is proposing a 4 cents per ounce sugary beverage tax. Because the 10.00 per pack of cigarette tax worked so well

Actually, I've had a curious question about this one rumbling around from time to time...as an American citizen working abroad, are you taxed from both the US and Norway? Or is that only when coming back home over 10k.
As far as alcohol and tobacco tax, I wouldn't be surprised if they're way up there. My FIL does a lot of snus. When we travel, he always asks us to pick up some from the duty free. We live a pretty far distance from Sweden, but it's actually worth it for him to take a trip there, buy like a year's supply or something like that, and spend the weekend there. He stills saves money. And we're on the other side of the country. People that live on the east side take frequent trips over there for alcohol, tobacco, meat, and cheese products.
The US has agreements with most countries that you don't pay tax twice. If I was bringing back over 10K, then yes, I'd have to pay taxes, you're right. But since I have a residence permit, I only pay income tax here.

They might close i10 near the border because of flooding. I hope not. If they close it will be a 4hr addition to my trip

Same thing I'm dealing with. Sucks you have to drive all that way sick. Especially now that they're shutting down I-10 at the LA/TX border.

I skipped over 300+ posts, sorry if it's been brought up. Did you friendly friends see that Cigar City is selling? http://www.forbes.com/sites/taranur...sale-proves-rumors-true-sort-of/#46d0ac825b2a

Pretty close. Justmore as$holes on the road. Going to be fun going several 100 miles out of my way
To be fair, that's not unique to Texas.
Don't even get me started on Quebec...

Yep, was brought up yesterday. Consensus was its better than them selling to ABinbev and hope that it means wider distribution. Also that Huna just tripled in value.

Why did huna triple in value? I think it was a better move than inbev. These breweries are selling left and right.
Just go with it. Everyone that has sent me beer in trade for Huna, kindly sent 2 more of whatever secured the trade. Thanks!

Nothing crazy. I picked up a couple bottles of JK, some Blue Owl, live oak hef, and a couple random bottles. I think I got something from Oddwood and wine barrel aged Four Swords. I've got three trades I'm trying to get out this week though, so the stockpile is growing.
