I often hear people talk about currently being in a golden age of pipe tobaccos. We are spoiled for choice at any of the online vendors. A quick glance at smokingpipes (I wasn't looking at pipes I swear my PAD is under control) shows dozens and dozens of blends to choose from. But I know it couldn't have always been like this.
I'm imagining getting into pipes 50 or 60 years ago and having a few blends to choose from. That's it.
Is it just a question of availability? Or were there really less blends available back then?
