Merchant Service Gone Quiet

[Verdant]

Anyone familiar with whether Merchant Service is still making pipes? Haven't seen much activity on their site and joined the waitlist a ways back and have never heard anything. Also keeping an eye out for a Nuttens Bing. Blows my mind that none of the big pipe makers make or consistently make a traditional Bing with pencil shank, etc.

Yes they just had a drop of new pipes with new shapes

Didn't they just have a pretty big release with the 1935's & Blue Room Briars a few weeks ago? Did I miss something?

Yea. No.

Yeah I saw those 1935s and didn't know they just went up. Thought they may have been older stock. Here's hoping we see some Bings.

Order when you get the email. Wait... and they are gone.

So true. I waited just a couple of hours after receiving the email to order and it was already too late.

They’re definitely still active. They had a table at the Chicago Show.

Savinelli does a nice Bing and just announced a new “extra” style with a longer stem. I have a regular version and love it. Just a thought. Maybe check them out?

You talking about the Bings?

I've just emailed MS asking about lead-times, having expressed interest on their website.

Anyone pick one of the 1935's up? They look great, anybody with one in hand?

They are still selling pipes and had a drop after Chicago. I would check your spam folder or sign up again. But yes, they sell out pretty fast.

Ha! replying to my own post.
Anyway, I got a reply from Greg at MS pipes and he said that the last batch they got in sold in like 10 minutes!

He also said that the next batch will be available in the fall.
