Tobacco, because between the FDA and Congress outlawing online tobacco sales, the end is in sight.
Maybe people will still make pipes, even when the only tobaccos to smoke will be Prince Albert and Carter Hall, but there will always be estate pipes. But, once we can't access tobaccos, no one will be starting B&M's.
Yeh yeh yeh, wouldn't it be nice to think that folks will step in and start B&M tobacco shops, but there are probably as many people who have VCRs as have pipes, but no one is starting a Video rental company ANYWHERE.

go for the tobacco. It gets better with age unlike pipes. Also the more pipes you own the less time you get to spend with each. It's like girlfriends that way if you have eight you won't even get to spend quality time with all.
Forty-seven pipes? What happened to the rest? I guess I gave them away to needy fellow members.
I second the sentiment of buying tobacco over pipes for my fellow American pipe smokers.
Been swinging a lot of dead cats around lately? Kinda weird, but hey, a lot of people think pipe smoking is a sort of kitschy weird anachronism these days, so who am I to judge

Speaking of growing tobacco- did anybody else deep dive into researching this? I have half a mind to build a backyard greenhouse for this purpose.
I’m gonna try it in the spring, being in Tennessee we have a good climate for it
That's fantastic! If you're so inclined to post a thread after harvest, I'm sure myself and some others here could benefit from learning about your process.
I think Cosmic grows his own. There are some other few members who are growers too.
I consider that a great and wonderful undertaking for anyone who has the ambition to do it. There's much involved to arrive at the final product...I believe Cosmic's gotten pretty deep into it.
Unfortunately I suspect the day will come when it will not be legal...but until then, go for it if you're motivated to do so. The knowledge of the whole process will someday be lost if no one learns and does it themselves.
I found this interesting excerpt from an article discussing tobacco in our nation's history. Times have certainly changed:
"President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, famous for his ever-present cigarette holder, declared that tobacco was an essential wartime crop. Supplying cigarettes to the troops produced a tobacco shortage back home, which led some women to take up pipe smoking. Meanwhile, Army training manuals urged leaders to "smoke and make your troopers smoke," and Gen. Douglas MacArthur demanded a better supply of tobacco in the soldier's daily ration. "

I suspect if/when the day comes around here I'll hopefully still have at least PA &CH to fall back on but nothing else. Could probably live with that, though.Tobacco, because between the FDA and Congress outlawing online tobacco sales, the end is in sight.

I wouldn't worry as much about pipe cleaners. I looked up some online and half of them were listed on bong cleaning lists. Tobacco may be outlawed soon but I doubt any such regulation will come to marijuana anytime soon.
Yes, I could to as both of those blends I do like. How ever, any thing else you better buy/buy/buy as the tax man cometh...
I haven’t laughed this hard in a while. That scenario by Hauntedmyst was hilarious, and the reason I cellar deep.

Starting a B&M is one of the chapters in the Book "How to be worth a million Dollars". "Accumulate 2 million dollars. Invest a million in opening a tobacco shop. Within 3 or 4 years, your net worth will be one million."
If it were still 1M after 4 years you’d be doing quite well. Outside of becoming a blockbuster franchisee I’m not sure there is anything less lucrative.
