    Smoking Pipes delisted some Rattray's tins?

    I noticed tonight that Hal, Old Gowrie, Red Rap, Marlin Flake are no longer available in 100g tins on Smoking Pipes. Sterling Flake and Brown Clunee aren't even listed anymore. Anyone know why?

    Haunted Bookshop pricing?

    Does anyone know why Haunted Bookshop has different pricing than other C&D blends? Bulk, ribbon and cake in tin are more expensive than any other C&D blend. A couple months ago all blends were the same price.

    DTM

    Has Dan tobacco website in Germany stopped shipping tobacco outside its borders? I tried ordering tonight and it said no tobacco or liquor is being shipped outside Germany.

    Canadian Customs Hitting Tobacco More Frequently.

    Title edited for caps and wording. See Rule 9. I've noticed the last couple months customs is hitting almost all my tobacco orders. They usually get the boxed items but recently they hit a packet that was so small, they had to wrap the customs label around the package. Any other Canadians seen...

    Smoking Pipes Lack of Tobacco so far in 2022.

    Is it just me or has smoking pipes been sold out of a lot of pipe tobacco so far this fiscal year, both tinned and bulk? I hope this isn’t a trend for 2022.

    JT Cooke Pipes

    Looking to add a commissioned Cooke to my collection, but am curious about the pricing. Are we talking like $300-$500 or towards $1000 plus? Any feedback on Cooke pipes and pictures would be great, thanks!

    Smoking Pipes Christmas card

    You know you spend too much money at smokingpipes when they send you a card at the end of the year, lol. A nice gesture though. I spend more at Amazon and don’t get Jack for a thank you, so the gesture is appreciated!

    Pale or natural stained pipes

    I’ve always been interested in buying a pipe with light or no stain at all and very curious to see how dark they change over time. Does anyone have some pics they could post and maybe say how many years of smoking are on it? Thanks.

    Hand made, high grade, pipesmith, pipe maker, pipe carver, craftsmen, or artisan?

    Just curious to hear some views on what pipers refer to hand made pipes as or rather those that make hand mades. It seems to me the term 'artisan' really came about with the advent of the internet and selling pipes online, perhaps for marketing? When I got into pipe smoking in the 90's they...

    BRIAR AGE AND GRAIN

    I was always under the impression that older briar has more grain(growth rings), but was told recently that it’s harder to get a lot of grain out of older briar because it’s more dense and typically doesn’t show grain well. So does that mean younger briar has a tendency to show better grain...

    Hot Air?

    Weirdest thing happened to me today. Last night I smoked a cigar and a bowl of Redburn. Today I was trying HH Old Dark Fired for the first time and super excited. It smelt wonderful and I could smell all those flavours other people had mentioned in reviews but when I lit it up to smoke, I could...

    Briar Shortage?

    Does anyone remember back in the 80’s and 90’s there was talk of a major shortage of briar going forward? Doesn’t seem to be an issue today and I was also wondering is most of the briar still collected randomly or are there Heath farms now?
