Hi everyone from a temperate SE London. Thanks for having me aboard.

Whilst I am also a pipe smoker (usually Borkum Riff) and therefore very grateful to have access to this forum I also come in search of some more tangential advice...

Sadly my grandfather - a lifelong pipe smoker - recently passed away at the grand old age of 95.

He left behind six packs of unopened St Bruno flake pipe tobacco. I have taken a couple or packs for personal use and of course to remember him by but I think he would have wanted us to see if we could sell (at a heavily discounted price) the remaining four packs on to somebody else who will get good mileage out of them. It might sound disingenuous but he always said pay and be paid for things!

Could anyone advise on where I might be able to sell these on to a good home as I am clearly too fresh a member to post on the sell/swap thread.

Many thanks in advance and I hope this isn't too close to the bone on the commercial guidelines etc.

Andrew

Welcome to the forum and condolences on your grandfather, this site has some steadfast rules about selling, there are restrictions based on the number of posts you have, must be 400 minimum with no padding, as well as be a member for 4 months.

Tinbids an auction site only allows sales originated in the USA and not sure about Pipe Stud but he was be a good place to find out any value.

That being said I’m sure ppl will pm you for back room deals.

Does the UK eBay site still allow sales of tobacco? The US site stopped several years ago, but marketplace practices are dependent on the host country. Otherwise, when you meet the criteria, you can sell them here.

He is in the UK so pipestud &tinbids may not be the answer but I am sure members will message him
