Could be, but mine always rolls around in October and the height of my buying from them is midsummer. I go artisan in fall and winter. Going to be dropping really bad this year.

It’s an evolution this pipe smoking thing. Wonder what it’ll ? like in 20 yrs if we are so fortunate? ?

Is it bad I’m not sure which blend I got the Stockpiler Gold for?
Yeah, 200 tins of the same blend is commitment. ?

This is kind of cool, from the stats section:
I‘m not sure what the units are for tobacco brand, dollars or tins or weight?

That is pretty cool.
️I was silver last year - now back to bronze.
Ok. Then I'm going to add my SP badges to my curriculum vitae. Maybe I'll get lucky and the owner of my neighborhood tobacconist will hire me, I think she's in love with me. She's 70 years old, and very nice. I'm going to ask my wife for advice, to see what she thinks.

Even worse the you don't know which blend you bought 200 tins of!
I'm in the same boat... no clue because there are more than 1.. 
I'm betting it's ounces, not tins.

I'm almost done buying pipes, so that silver VIP should go away soon. Trying to score a good Deluxe System with nice natural finish. But the grain's been rather crappy of late.
This will be the year my VIP status disappears as well. All of my pipes now come directly from North American and Turkish artisans
