From my understanding filters are much bigger in Europe then America. And in both places that many people are completely on one side or the other. They only smoke with a filter or never do. So why would they shift a pipe to a market that has less people who would buy a particular pipe from another market where there is a large demand. Sure some Americans will buy them, but the few that will certainly do so can just buy the pipe from Europe if they really want it. One thing people forget with retail is shelf space or warehouse space costs money and any space used for something that rents that space for a long time means that it can't be used on something that will move.
I guess my point is that it's not in their best interests to carry every variant they can and even though there is a market it makes more sense to spend their time and money on something that will certainly move in a more timely manner.
Thanks. I get it. I wish there was a way to avoid the tariffs and import shipping fees since SP.com and SP.eu are sister companies. BUT ... they don't have a filtered Dublin Pub yet so I'll wait ...

spoke too soon they are on the EU site now.
