Alright y'all, I'm having a bit of trouble trying to figure out where I should get all of these very fine tobaccos that keep seeing y'all toss around like you're getting them down at the corner store and I'm feeling quite like I'm just a very unfortunate guy with stores that sell NONE of those blends.
That in mind, where in the Sam hell are y'all picking this fine stuff up? I mean, I've just recently decided that I want to give C&D Black Frigate a go, but I don't even have a clue about how to track some down. I mean, I think I saw it online for sell somewhere, but how's that work with the whole having to prove you're 18 thing? Okay, that's enough of a rant, just slightly frustrating when I see some guys talk about very nice blends and I don't seem to have a single location that has anything remotely close. Hell, I'd be lucky if any of them even carried Captain Black, which currently I havent even seen that either.

The left hand column of this page has a list of site sponsors (linked). Two of the biggest online retailers are PipesAndCigars.com and SmokingPipes.com. Milan Tobacconists offers many blends too. Browse all the sponsor sites, as some pipe dealers also carry tobacco.
SmokingPipes.com describes their age checking process like this:
During checkout, Smokingpipes.com uses an electronic age and identity verification (EAIV) service that searches public records to establish that customers are of legal age to purchase tobacco products. In the event that legal age cannot be verified based upon public records, we will contact you to request a copy of a government-issued photo ID to ensure that you are 18 years of age or older before we process your order. If you have questions or concerns about our age verification process, feel free to contact us.

Thanks y'all. I guess it just didn't really occur to me that you can buy it like that online. Pipes, maybe, but I wasn't sure you could even purchase it online.
As a side note, I'm not too sure Google is as much a friend as it is a spy... One search for something for the wife, then I got pop up adds all over the place where she can see them.

Ya, it's quite nice to be able to do our shopping online, carolinachurchwarden.

I don't recommend you shop while imbibing.

Sounds like you got a whole lot of discovering to do! Enjoy!

I just added a tin of Black Frigate to a recent smokingpipes.com order.
Keep your eye open on the retail sites, the tobacco buy/sell/trade boards here and the general discussion boards usually have posts about “hot items” being in stock somewhere. Patience, and you’ll find it.

@Mikefu So can it just cover the head and be somewhat fashionable?

@weezell and how do you know that's not where she wants the shopping done eh? :rofl:
I have been over to smokingpipes.com a few times looking for different pipes, but never really looked to see if I could actually purchase my pipe tobacco there. I do have a lot of discovering to do, newbroom, like where I'm going to be able to find tinfoil underwear like Anthony there...
@eltice good to know. I think right now after heading to smokingpipes.com the Black Frigate was on sale for a few dollars off. Might pick up my can this week and have a good long smoke after building a new dining room table for us this weekend.

A portion of my paycheck gets direct deposited to SmokingPipes.com.
Seriously, I mostly order of SmokingPipes. Sometimes I'll put an order in for PipesAndCigars. Haven't had any issues with them personally yet. I've also ordered from Cup O Joe's, but not in a year or two.
I try to get to the B&M once every other month or so. Typically pick up a tin or two and then sit down for a bowl in the lounge. I'm pretty lucky cause the Tobacco Leaf on Lake Mead here in Las Vegas has a pretty good selection of tins and bulk blends.

I have a few decent B&M's in my area, but most I've been in so far seem to just carry a few jarred house blends and maybe a large bag or two of bulk, but nothing more. I have yet to locate that quintessential smoke shop with more tins to offer. Might just start racking up what I can online and if I stop by a B&M that looks worthy, I'll stop in and take a pass like always. Looks like smokingpipes.com will be my haunt for a while. I need some softy bits and more churchwarden pipe cleaners anyways.

Yup. Weird Al has always been way ahead of the curve. Mine looks more like a shiny scull cap. Thanks for giving me design ideas!

It's pretty hard to get pipe tobacco from sites like smokingpipes and pipeandcigar to me. Of course nothing wrong with the sites itself, but because of Indonesian custom. Mainly I get my tobaccos from local market place and sites in Indonesia. And some of them from friends who I'll asked to hand carry them from abroad :)
