As you probably know due to some sillyness in our legislature it is now a felony to purchase pipe tobacco online or even to have a friend ship you some in Washington State. There is a bill in front of our state legislature to rectify this problem. If you live and vote in Washington State please take a look at this bill to exempt pipe tobacco from the tobacco shipping ban (the same way cigars are exempted) and contact your rep _today_ if you agree with exempting pipe tobacco. The deadline is Monday noon.
Bill is here:

Find your district and reps here: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/DistrictFinder/Default.aspx
There will be links to email them on their respective pages - make sure you include the bill (House bill 2639)and ask them to 'pinkslip' it.
