I heard today that this long time distributor of Dunhill (White Spot), IM Corona, BC, Falcons and other brands has shut. Is this another casualty of the FDA? I was wondering what disruptions would emanate from Dunhill's announced withdrawal from the pipe tobacco market would generate, and this sounds like the first shoe.

There should be a lot of speculation about their demise. I doubt the real reason will surface unless the owner responds.

The pipe world will scream....and no one will care.

That's gonna make getting our Old Boys serviced a real problem, me thinks.

Within the next 10-20 years, everything about pipes smoking may be a problem.
If how to light it is the worst, Id be ok with that.

jefff, I always like your posts. You have common sense. Cherish it, it's a superpower.

Jefff makes a good point. Unless we bring in more people, this lifestyle habit will fade away like so many others under the treads of "progress."

@MikeStanley, Old Boys needing service? What a novel concept! Mine has been trouble free for almost 20 years.

Someone else will pick-up NA distribution. With any luck, they'll handle the repairs with more efficiency. I've heard MCM has had one foot in the grave for a while now. Their website had not been updated since 2012. Businesses come and go -- it's not always a bad thing.

Businesses do in fact come and go. Unfortunately, in the pipe and tobacco world there have been quite a few more departures than arrivals.
