I asked Iwan Ries by email if they will resupply their Benton-made house pipes, which at least online, are all shown as out of stock. I'm not looking to buy more, since I have three or four, but they really have my curiosity itching, since these have been out of stock for most of a year now. Why not restock, or take them off the site? Is Benton still in business making pipes? Is Iwan Ries not able to agree on a price? Hmmm. One might ask.

mso489, I have noticed the scenario you give:
but they really have my curiosity itching, since these have been out of stock for most of a year now. Why not restock, or take them off the site?
to be the case in a number of lines they carry. I am thinking there IP folks are just slow to remove them, maybe not being for sure about a pipe being available again later. I know there are some that have showed out of stock for at least a year and a half.
Not sure about the Benton's though.
