Iwan Ries September Sales of Yore

[mso489]

I don't want to steep in nostalgia. I consider myself well-spoiled by discounts and sales at site sponsors, and I have more than all the pipes and tobacco I can use. But I do remember the Iwan Ries sale in September that went on for a number of years. I think it didn't net the proceeds it once had, so it was phased out with a lesser discount, and then eventually no sale at all. But for a while, it was an event I anticipated. I bought several pipes on those sales. Anyone else remember those?

I haven't had yore in some time and I can't remember ever seeing on sale.

It seems nostalgia always hits me harder in the fall so this is a nice timely post.

Yore was one heck of a blend. Nothing quite like it. I think it was an IR exclusive.

Sales can be good, either by allowing you to stretch your budget a little for a pipe you might otherwise not buy, or to make an easy catch on a pipe that was already moderately priced. "It's all good," as the old cliche went.

Last sale there I can ever remember was a 10% off one...

Absolutely! Definitely remember the Fall IR sale - I even remember when they used to mail a catalogue for it! Purchased a Stanwell, couple of Ashton’s, a Pete and I think a Bjarne through the years? I also remember riding the dingy little brown elevator up to the shop from street level and the wonderful cigar/pipe smoke aroma greeting you as the door creaked open. You know, before someone else saved me from myself by outlawing that sort of behavior. At a smoke shop...
