I've used quite a few listed already. Just placed another order from marscigars because they had the most blends in stock of what was on my sample/cellar list. I've ordered the most from pipesandcigars and smokingpipes because they've been the most competitive on price. Estervals is a game changer for price and selection of European blends.

In addition to SPC, I think Missouri Meerschaum (a site sponsor) is a good retailer. I've had good experience with my orders from them. Check out their tobaccos, too.

Made my very first purchase of MM Pride Cobs from Smoking Pipes USA. Chose Super Saver International as shipping method to India. Already been 2 weeks now. I might receive them by this week's end or later.. as no tracking is available for the packet and Super Saver is slower shipping choice at low price. Heard great good things about SP's service and customer support.
I personally had a word with Mr. Steve there in SP and other officials and all were very supportive for making my first ever international purchase from States hassle free.. I also got an introductory badge and 5% off in my next purchase. SP is serious about what they are doing for Pipe Smokers Community..
And many in PM community assured me that SuperSaver packets shows up within 3-5 week time frame.

Hoping things to work out as planned and smooth..
Happy Piping! puffy

If we limit ourselves to site sponsors,
I've bought pipes and tobacco from smokingpipes USA, great customer care, great site and huge inventory. Cheapest shipping to Europe from the states that I've found.
Also bought some pipes from site sponsor gqtobaccos , ridiculously cheap prices on some Peterson pipes there, although not as good experience overall as smokingpipes USA.

I use them all. My favorite depends on which one has something I’m looking for. When an allocated blend pops up at one of the online retailers, that’s my new favorite. When something I enjoy is on sale, that’s my new favorite retailer. I enjoy P&C when I’m shopping for both pipe tobacco and cigars. I love the pipe inventory at SP. I shop with TobaccoPipes because I want to support a retailer in my home state of FL. I don’t like the FL taxes but their customer service is great and shipping is always fast. I’ll eventually get over to their side of the state to visit their b&m.
I would like to give the pipe nook a whirl but they won’t do business with Floridians because of taxes. The exception has been the purchase of the commemorative Matches860 pipe. I hear their service is top notch too.
Agree...Never limit yourself and I buy from many. And the list includes "Site Sponsors".

Excellent service from CupoJoes, Mars, Al Pascia and abolition. Many orders, not one issue. If you don’t take things too seriously, have a sense of humor, and know how to stack codes and coupons with promos and gift cards, you can build a nice bunker of very good bulks at Pipes and Cigars cheaper than anywhere else.

I have had a great experience with Italian vendors but when it comes to the U.S then smokingpipes.com is hard to bet, world-class outfit,I will remain their loyal customer for years to come,that's for sure, excellent customer service, Their sales team real know what they are doing, and of course shipping options to Europe are the very best I know to this day.

Having just started with this hobby/obsession, and liking variety, I’ve purchased from nearly every possible site. I say try them all (but start with the site sponsors). P&C, Tobacco Pipes, Smokingpipes, Watch City, Country Squire, Cup O’ Joes, Boswell’s, Milan, Marscigars, Hiland’s, Wilke, Tinder Box, WV, JFH, Uhle, EA Carey, etc.
There are even small B&M’s that will ship to you if you email or call them. Even the super large purchase I made from Esterval’s actually arrived without incident. Can’t say I’ve had an issue with any of them. Have fun!

Tobaccopipes.com is at the top of my list. A small business that values customer service at great prices and excellent communication.

The "bigger guys" have forgotten about the above and it shows. A sale is a sale to them. But TP values a customer's loyalty.

I personally prefer smoking pipes. Great website with multiple pictures of any pipe i want to buy. That is way better than u get a pipe somthing like this picture. Plus great customer service and recommendations on tobaccos you might like if you ask them. Good tobacco selection and reviews as well.

As posted, I'd begin with the sponsors, but I like former sponsor sites Iwan Ries, maybe the oldest pipe shop in the U.S., and Pipes and Cigars. Both have attractive hard copy catalogs as well, if you like to browse off-line. Good john reading. Nothing moves me like White Spot prices.
