Future Collectible Pipe Tobaccos, Which Ones?

[baccyfart]

Maybe this has been asked before, but I am curious to know what people think will be the next round of collectible pipe tobaccos. As in, they are currently available but may be scarce in the future. Any ideas?

Aromatics

 

[rmbittner]

Any and all of them.

But I would discourage anyone from buying pipe tobacco because they think something’s “collectible” (whatever that means). Collect the tobaccos you enjoy smoking and anticipate enjoying in the future.

If people said Daughters & Ryan and Captain Black Grape a few years ago, it would have come off as a joke.

Here we are.

But I kinda think “Captain Black Grape” still comes off as a joke…

Not for the people who loved it! There's a few around here who did.

I regret not buying sleeves of D&R VIP when it was just $6-$8 a tin only a few years ago and then discontinued after the company sale. It was so cheap, and so good.

When someone mentions Captain Black Grape, I get gout.

Picayune. Prescription Strength, of course.

What !
So someone can corner the market and boast of his 500lb stash
And buy what you LIKE, rather than what's "collectible"

That's a weird question bro.

Dan tobacco blends have become rare. So has K&K. Good investments for retirement or future big ticket discretionary purchases or your children’s college.

Disclaimer: One of the three sentences above is a joke.

All commercial pipe tobacco is pretty close to guaranteed being scarce in the future. This whole hobby/habit/vice is going to become an encyclopedia entry in a few decades I think.

The thing is with the way things are going if you really like a blend stock up before one or more of the component source tobaccos dries up and they just up and change the blend entirely and smack the same sticker on it that they have been for however many years.

 

[BarrelProof]

I just buy shitloads of everything.

 

[fireground_piper]

Or even the OTC blends that were stopped or had pauses when they moved production to the Dominican.

People store crawling for Prince Albert. It could be anything next to go.

Velvet. Get ton of it. If you don't like it, nobody will.

What’s an encyclopedia?

 

[Chasing Embers]

With the war on flavored tobaccos, probably aromatics. If they go, the entire pipe tobacco market will fall with them.

I hope so. I have a whole bag of it jarred up somewhere.
