Each of our online sponsor retailers has somewhat different specialties and inventories. Some brands of pipes are only available from one or the other. Likewise with tobacco. smokingpipes.com has an amazing site and superb customer service. However, I wouldn't want to stiff the others. I have dealt with five or six different ones, and have been able to get items I couldn't get elsewhere, or other kinds of help specific to their inventory. Kudos to all, to be even handed.
