Any country still sell the blackcurrant Wrigleys Airwaves?
They were decommissioned in the UK about a year ago and I have to make do with Cherry menthol ones instead.
Also, why does European Wrigleys Extra come in completely different coloured packaging than the UK ones
Hold tight the chewing gums geeks, your time

That, and the part that makes it illegal is when the Wormwood ferments it has mild halucinogenic properties.
no. it. doesn't. the whole halucinogenic thing is a total urban myth. it's just booze. it's gets you drunk just like anything else, it's just more potent then the average drink.
it also tastes like absolute shit (unless you like black licorice).
and it's just been legalized, if i'm not mistaken, again in the U.S. (although i could be totally wrong on that point).

my dad took me to a place in Melbourne Beach, FL last month...they can still legally sell cuban cigars that were purchased before the embargo. the tobacco has been kept in some crazy pressurized humidor for ages. the cuban stuff didn't smell or taste like $50 worth...but then again, i'm not a connoisseur...

Kartofel Snaks!
When I was in Berlin my friends had a few boxes of these. Super nice to come back from a party and have some before getting some sleep.

I'd trade up with someone in the UK. Or anywhere. There are dozens of good regional micro breweries around here. I'd go 6 for 6, has to be a variety tho. I quality cut of UK steak would be cool. I could get you some black angus or some shit. You defo can't trade that shit legally. Pack it in dry ice.

I have been fortunate enough to have a Cuban and it was bomb! Hope that ban gets lifted soon, would love to go there too someday.
Bummer about the Absinthe, if its just higher alcohol then... Ive had moonshine from my grandfathers still that was somthing crazy like 95%. I saw three shots of it take down a man who weighed well over 350lbs. Looks like the US has a legal brand of Absinthe now though, so at least I can taste it.

honestly you don't want to taste absinthe it's fucking horrible. i've got a bottle sitting in my cupboard that i brough back from the czech republic a couple of years ago

it's doesn't taste too bad if you caremelise a bit of sugar by mixing it with a bit of absinthe on a spoon then burning it (heh really is getting like a smack thread now) then mix it in with the absinthe
strongest alcohol i've had is stroh rum, think its austrian or something. probably the only alcohol i've had that's worse tasting than absinthe - it's absolutely vile
