Sir Walter Raleigh pipes?

You certainly very ardent in your search for information,

That is so cool that you still have the paperwork for the pipe. What year is this from?

Sorry, I missed your question, and only just saw it now. It’s my understanding that the tobacco was regionally introduced in ’72, and nationally in ’73; a member here remembers the pipe promotion dating to the ’80s–’90s. My brochure has a 1992 date on it. I suspect the most reliable way to get a more accurate date for the earliest release would be to check for any print ads that might have been done showing the pipes. I wonder if @jguss might have any materials that could pinpoint an earlier date.

Thank you for the information. I appreciate it.

I have a Brewster pipe that came with two boxes of Sir Walter Raleigh. I have a Captain Black Yeoman bent pipe made by Orlik. I also have another little nugget, a Union pipe that was a mail in redemption pipe for Edgeworth Ready Rubbed.
