I think there may be one other guy here but his post about it was from '16.
Gads, that does sound rather lonely. But it is much the same for me over here. Washington State, as a governmental body, has a very dim view of tobacco use in general. They certainly make no exception for pipe smokers and it has implemented taxes and shipping regulations to discourage use all the while promoting pot. I don’t personally partake and I have no particular issue with this, however, I find it bizarre that where I live there are many head shops and countless legal recreational marijuana dispensaries, but very, very few real tobacconists anywhere.
So it goes.

I noticed that. Just got through a Reddit conversation on the subject. Apparently the taxes and shipping regulations all revolve around closing the loophole Roll Your Own cigarette smokers were exploiting to get around the super high premade cigarette tax rates. Still shocking I can't even order ONLINE. I don't partake either, and also don't have much issue, and feel the same way you do about all the headshops. Word for word.
