I searched the forums for news on this but nothing showed up in my search results. My apologies if I missed it and this is old news.
I believe that the Spring of 2019 issue was supposed to be the last issue ever of Pipes and Tobacco magazine, and maybe it will be. But this press release announcing the acquisition of media assets from Tobacco Merchants Association sort of hints that there may be something brewing.
Here's the quote from the release that lead me to making this post: "TMG has been looking for a way to better to serve the premium tobacco industry and community with tailored news and content and will be able to do so with Pipes & Tobacco Magazine and the popular consumer-driven review website, TobaccoReviews.com. These titles will be in addition to Tobacco Business Magazine, which is a bi-monthly premium trade publication for the premium tobacco and cigar industry. Specific plans for each of these titles will be announced in the fourth quarter of 2019."
