Hi there after a long time.
I want to describe you be the creating process pipe club PipoTR. But first, my English is not very well now, I'm sorry about that.

I have been created videos on YouTube for Turkish pipers because actually we didn't have a YouTube channel about smoking pipes for the last year. I hadn't any purpose about that but many people interested this channel and follow me.

My channel rose up quicly and opened any make money features. And I thought about that "what can I use these features for". And I decided create a great and big community. I bought a domain (PipotTR.com), I applied for trademark registration and now we are work on it with my near friend.

Actually we have so many smoking piper from Turkey but no one not interested this area. We don't have a forum site, blog or any community tools. Those who do business in this business have only exploited people and have not made any investment.

For example just a company have a permisson for import pipe tobaccos to Turkey but this company not use this right and not import any pipe tobacco here. But I belive If we are getting great and big community maybe we will be success about that.

However, we need to global community support. If anyone see that develops I belive we will be good jobs in Turkey about smokin pipes.

Thanks for reading. I attached my YouTube channel link on the bottom. I will share all news on this topic about PipoTR.

I wish you great success in growing the community in Turkey. We need more pipe smokers in the world so we can keep our passion and hobby alive.

I'm from Canada and the situation here is dire mainly due to the price and availability of quality tobacco. A 50 gram tin of tobacco will cost you over $70CAD, about $50 USD.

Thank you! I hope our global community going to be very well.

We are cannot buy a pipe tobacco legally here. If just our friends or commercal people goes to abroad, they are taking a pipe tobacco and come here and sell between 70-80 USD.
There is no pipe tobacco in Turkey? Wow, that is weird considering you guys make incredible meerschaum pipes.

Yes, I agree that. A company have a licence about pipe tobaccos import to the Turkey but they dont use that. Maybe they can't measure demand to pipe tobacco in Turkey or anything else, (procedure processes or etc.) I don't know completely.

Wow I knew you guys had it rough but not how much. So I guess most of the Sutliff stuff wasn't even really available to you right? Being US sale only probably spotty and difficult and expensive at best... at least you can get Cubans tho I guess..?

Yes, we have Cubans, check out the price! LOL

I believe Sutliff made the two lines of Brigham pipe tobaccos for Canada. Neither was anything special, and prices were in the $60 range.

Yes, we can take any cigar type because it's not illegal or difficult.

If our some friends have goes to abroad they have a right buy for 250grams pipe tobacco for personal consumption. That's a way or we have a few pipe tobacco makers locally. We can't goes to any tobacco shop and take a tin.
I feel for you brother, I'll never complain about out prices/selection again in the US. Try not to anyway. We're pretty fortunate here.

What about the company Gladora? I believe its a Turkish company that seems to be quite the rage in European market with its Oriental/Latakia flakes. This company sells nothing in Turkiye? Is it all for export? That would be sad.
