The PACT ACT has passed the Senate!

  
Major Hurdle Cleared in Regulating Tax-Free Internet and Mail-Order Tobacco

I called an online cigar and pipe tobacco retailer today and they stated that it shouldn't affect pipe tobacco. This targets primarily online cigarettes and smokeless tobacco with an exemption for cigars. No mention at all of pipe tobacco. Hopefully it stays that way.  Special Note:  Certain states already have a shipping ban on tobacco products - with the exception of cigars - into their state.  If the PACT ACT did apply to pipe tobacco, than it would mean a national shipping ban.
