And regular stuff that's marked up substantially. CVP for $17 and change for example.looks like they have some stuff that's semi hard to get.
their prices seem all over the place. I've been shocked both ways wow good price for that, no way I'd pay that for it.And regular stuff that's marked up substantially. CVP for $17 and change for example.
Carter.....I was scanning the Dreaming Pipes website today. It seems to me that much of their business goes to China. It looks like they've created a "system" for dealing with sales of Esoterica pipe tobaccos----the DP Rewards system.
A buyer gets one DP Rewards point per US Dollar spent. For access to purchase a tin of Esoterica you need 1,899 DP Rewards points; an 8oz bags, you will need 5,499 DP Rewards.
A $5499 price of admission to purchase a single bag of Esoterica per year. Yowza.
Let them have it, I say. One of the online chains here in the UK has ‘bumped’ the price of Germains up 30% or more, knowing full well the Chinese will buy it all up in minutes.I was scanning the Dreaming Pipes website today.

It's all cachet isn't it. They could sell the name to Sutliff and the Chinese would still buy it while it remains a status symbol. China can stick to their gourmet teas and leave the tobacco blending to the experts I say .I’m only surprised the Chinese haven’t already come up with a ‘copycat’ blender of their own by now. It’s only a matter of time, I’m sure.
Ojala! We can but hope. LolIt's all cachet isn't it. They could sell the name to Sutliff and the Chinese would still buy it while it remains a status symbol. China can stick to their gourmet teas and leave the tobacco blending to the experts I say .
