I order tobacco around once every 6 weeks. Almost always use SP, but the last 2 times I went to order, they were out of something I wanted. Ended up getting it at P&C, (with no shipping problems per usual).
I wonder what the best selling C&D blend is...
I don't like tobacco shortages, but I do like to hear that demand is outstripping supply............... that's a good sign for us, tells me this hobby is thriving...........
and even better then that. That people who are trying it now are willing to buy and smoke several types of tobacco. Which means a good chance of more and more interesting blends coming out.
That's what I was thinking........... or Billy Bud?...........
I remember some years back it was Autumn Evening. I personally don’t care as long as the continue to produce my Haunted Bookshop & Pegasus.

I was about to write the same thing. I do like SP and will keep supporting them but had to get my boveda packs elsewhere because I wanted some Carter Hall in the same order. Not a knock on the company but a bit puzzling that a popular otc like that was out of stock...for a while.
I sincerely I'm very grateful for the good service of Smokingpipes..............
See, if you all would just starting liking shit that no one else likes like I do, you wouldn't have any issues!
Congrats on YoY revenue growth of 37%....that's a big number, let alone in a turbulent year. Could you share a high-level on where demand is coming from vis-a-vie domestic vs. Overseas (mainly China)? Some of your customers may of course take delivery in the U.S. and re-ship overseas.....but I'm betting you of course have a handicap on what's generally driving such a sharp increase in demand the last few years.
Would be interesting to hear if US demand is up X% and the prime driver (of tight stocks) or it's stacked up against XX% demand growth overseas. Kind of an odd market in that you could never meet/see another pipe-smoker in the 'wild' (outside a pipe-specific gathering) but tobacco sales are booming. Would be interesting to hear if it's a relatively small number of domestic buyers that make relatively large purchases or if net-new business overseas is really that sky-high. Thanks!
and when it comes to manufacturers like G&H and JP Germains its is worth noticing these are rather small ,oldfashion outfits with ancient machinery which main market is still in the UK ,and aside from America there are China/Russian market 'calling for more , they simply can't keep up with the demand,
I was under the impression that the old machinery of GH&co were mostly treated like museum relics since the merger with SG. And, that they were now using newer technology for all of their runs.
I don’t believe so. They just streamlined some processes from what I understand.
Someone not too long ago posted pictures from the place that showed the equipment in some sort of museum like setting at the factory with signs on it explaining how it was used, then posted pics on newer equipment doing their cutting and pressing. I think that them using this ancient equipment is a forum mythology. Not 100% sure, but I've seen more evidence that is was just relics they show off than not.
That was the old location that they were renovating into condos or offices or the like. ?
their equipment is old, but not that kind of old ?
