Out Of Stock

[JMcQ]

Like I'm sure a lot of people do, I keep my shopping cart ready to go at smokingpipes.com. I just went and tried to add some Prince Albert before checking out. Prince Albert is "out of stock". What is this world coming to?

I don't even know why we call these "over the counter", if there's no counter that I can buy them over.

 

[docrameous]

True. ’OTC’s are getting harder and harder to find over, on or behind the counter!

 

[cosmicfolklore]

People just need to stop smoking. It's bad for you. Maybe if we could get more pipe smokers to take up things like tennis or stamp collecting, we can get more things back in stock.

Stopped by Walgreens Saturday to see what they had. They had 1 Grabow and 1 pouch of captain. A large section of dusty packs of machine made cigars. It's was a small Grabow maybe a lark? I'm tempted to pick up that little pipe, just to keep it from ending up on the trash. I do have a store about a mile from my house that carries PA and CH. But yes I've learned smoking is bad and we should be ashamed of ourselves..

I can find most OTC blends locally except for Granger which I’m very fond of. The B&M tobacco shop offered to order a pouch for me..for 10 bucks. I can order a canister for 29 bucks.

I have to order any of the better blends anyway so adding a can of Granger or CH isn’t a big deal and it’s cheaper anyway.

I have to drive an hour for pipe cleaners.

Scratched my noggin, thought a bit, and the first online place I looked had Carter Hall, SWR and the Prince.

The music is slowing down folks, so keep your eye on an empty chair and be ready to sit at a moment’s notice. You can’t say you haven’t been warned.

Cellar wide, cellar deep and cellar now. Or be left standing without a chair.

Hat Magnet, a pouch of Granger? I didn't even know they still had those. I just received a tub of Granger. I have warm feelings about some of the codger blends based on their ready availability, but that is diminishing. If the online retail gets squeezed, we'll have to smoke what we can get. However, I still appreciate those brands that endeavor to meet demand with supply, and to work for the ease of the customer. It matters to me. I like the occasional rare tobaccos, but I object to finding myself in a quest for one.

Id call them on the phone and ask them if they have any in a can...

You people quit hoarding Prince Albert!I bet you guys are flipping it...

None of the grocery or convenience stores in the town I live carry any pipe tobacco. You'd think North Carolina would do better than that.

none of those carry it here, but we have an offshoot of "kwik star" gas stations called "tobacco outlet" that does carry most the OTC brands, pipecleaners, some pipes, etc. Just don't expect to find anything beyond Carter Hall, SWR, etc.

 

[JMcQ]

North Carolina lets me down. I go with the thoughts of tobacco and hand made furniture and come home with Sun Drop and Liver Mush.

 

[3rdguy]

I actually cellared 3 tubs of PA a few years ago. I figured worst case FDA, I can get by with that.

 

[logs]

Yeah, drugstores are useless for pipe tobacco these days. I have to go to a vape shop/discount cigarette shop when I feel like picking up an OTC blend

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I totally understand drug stores not carrying pipe tobacco, but what I want to know is who the f$%# is smoking all of them White Owls?

 

[anotherbob]

write the people that make the blend and show them how much demand there is for their stuff. They'll probably do nothing because their business model is aimed at the old codger who only smokes one blend and buys a pouch every Tuesday. But who knows maybe they'll pay a little attention to the connoisseur market and bulk up distribution.

They make good blunts. Why they smell like crap cigars and not weed. And then two guys in Ohio actually dig them as cigars.
