I am with the cellar guys. I am concentrating on my cellar so I don't have to worry about it. I will, if I don't already, have enough tobacco to last the rest of my life. Hopefully pipes will be around a long time but I do have a fair share of pipes already. Looking forward to the day when I can just cruise and not worry about spending any more money.
Instead of stopping boat loads of marijuana, the U.S. Coast Guard will be stopping boat loads of tobacco being smuggled in from Central America and Cuba. The Mexican drug cartels will start growing and selling tobacco. All the good briar pipes will be marketed as marijuana pipes.
Not so log ago our Government come up with new announcement Finland is planned to become as like smoke free country in 2025 and ours healthcare department will do all necessary that this will come true,nontheless when Customs and border protection department were asked their opinion,their answer to this bill were rather cynical.
I don't see any chance of a ban. A ban on tobacco would do just about as well as the ban on alcohol did. The current campaign of death by a thousand cuts do doing just fine.
But in the extremely unlikely event that such a ban got enacted, the market for artisan pipes here would take quite a hit. So carvers would focus on other markets, or produce pipes for smoking "other" substances, or change careers. Prices would go through a wobble, and probably drop, with estate prices taking the biggest hit.

IMO there’s no current movement to ban tobacco. There does seem to be an effort to use costly regulations to drive smaller competitors out of business, though. Such tactics have been used in many industries. There will be ‘safer, tested’ products at higher prices in the future after the little players are gone, I suspect. The vaping industry is just too attractive a market to ignore. Pipe tobacco is just collateral damage; vaping dollars are the target.
LOL! Well, I like your idea. I already wear a funny hat, so now to start working on the other two. (-:

That failed due to it being an immediate act. The antis have had decades and generations of non tobacco propaganda to influence the market.
The "pipe as art" market would be even smaller than the antique pipe market. But, we waste time worrying about what might be the future. My belief is, tobacco will always be available for those who can afford it. So, insuring the flow of future dollars should be the prime concern today.
