I like to purchase locally but with a severe case of T.A.D. I found the website to be the most economical option when acquiring new stuff. Anybody else suffer the same affliction? Got any recommendations on other sites that aren't sponsored here?

Today's shipment:
C&D Epiphany

Molto Dolce (Right Hook sampler)
Moon Trance (Right Hook sampler)

Presbyterian
Orlik Mellow Mixture

Any opinions on these blends?

Why publicize sites not friendly to this one? Just curious.

 

[Waning Embers]

You should have seen the 23% off sitewide sale they had this past weekend.

4noggins, tobaccopipes, and iwan ries are mentioned often.

I doubt they are unfriendly, they just happen to not be sponsors. That could be for any number of reasons. I'm talking about more of the mom n pops or boutique type sellers. My wife and I have a small business so I understand why some of the smaller vendors might not be able to advertise here.

Arrgh, why did I not know that? I have ordered quite a bit from them lately.

Mods have some rules regarding pimping businesses that are not site sponsors, unless it is relevant to a specific topic (e.g. where can I find blend X? Or where did you get pipe Z?" Not sure if "Got any recommendations on other sites that aren't sponsored here? " is gonna fly as it's own topic, haha.

No say one way or the other for me, just letting you know in case they close your thread down you'll know why.

There are plenty of smaller online sellers out there though. If you just google any blend, you can probably find several that ship online and peruse their stock at your own convenience.

If they are not friendly (sponsors) they must be not friendly. I'll write it that way as opposed to unfriendly.

My position is, let the members google and search on their own rather than use this site to undermine the vendors who support us. Just seems right!

Regarding the blends you bought, Epiphany and Presbyterian are both excellent. Not being an aromatic smoker myself, I find Epiphany has a nice but not heavy-handed amount of added flavor. It reminds me of Dunhill’s Aperitif.

Molto Dolce and Presbyterian I enjoy very much...two of my favorites. Moontrance is in my rotation and I like it, but for some reason I never reach for it.

Welcome to the forum.

Some of these blends I like and some I don't. Don't worry about what other people like. Make it your own journey. Smoke them. If you like it make a note. When it's on sale buy it. Try different kinds of blends and see what works for you.

I regards to the site sponsors. All the online stores typically have the same stuff at about the same price. I tend to support those that sponsor the site but everybody is different. I used to chase the best price on everything and now I look more toward the customer service.

Well thank you for setting me straight Warren. The mods have been alerted and moved the thread. Please forgive my insolence. I will try and avoid any mention of pipe related material that isn't directly sponsoring this website.

React as your nature dictates. I was simply expressing my opinion on your post.

 

[okiematt]

I'm confused. When you look at the left side of the page, it shows the aforementioned online store as being a site sponsor. Am I missing something?

This is the portion the mods may take issue with, or not.....who knows....:

Got any recommendations on other sites that aren't sponsored here?

 

[warren]

alaskanpiper nails it. Obviously he comprehends what he reads.

"Am I missing something?"

Last line, first paragraph of the OP. Don't know how one can miss that appeal for recommendations regarding non-sponsors.

Presby and Epiphany are good to me. 'Dolce is fun for a bowl or two, but a little too aromatic for me. I like tobacco forward. But everyone is so individual. It's like trying to pick out a pair of shoes for someone else. I like to pump up the sponsors, but sometimes mention a non-sponsor if it is apropos.

This site has a list of B&M retailers, state by state. It used to be much larger, but when they changed the format they didn't bring the old listings over, because it was very out of date. But, you will find retailers on there... and, I am sure Kevin would appreciate you adding to the site by listing and B&Ms that you guys like a lot. I wouldn't add the head shops or bad B&Ms. But, here is a short list of retailers...
