Where Are the Father's Day's Sales?

Did I miss out on the sales? I don't see any FD's sales besides at Tobacco Pipes on pipes over $100.

P&C has had a pipe sale going on all month.

PC did a good sale for a long time. Interesting that this wasn't general among pipe retailers.

I feel like there were some last year...

P&C has a sale ongoing until 6/27.

And that's not much being done for pipe smoking dads…...Nothing at smokingpipes. Nothing at cupojoes. Nothing at 4Noggins.

Nothing at Iwan Ries.

What's going on? Traditions are going out the door. I find it rather sad.

We might be looking at the end game inspired by the FDA Deeming rules, amplified by the McClelland frenzy plus the collateral damage spilling over into other brands. Now the landscape has a new breed to help the usual hoarders: flippers, who are sometimes not even puffers but have EBay accounts. Especially with Dunhill's declared intent to exit our market, there may not be much incentive for retailers to push out sales programs that exacerbate backorder and stockout issues. Supply of many items is way short of demand in this hyped up environment.

If I had to guess, I'd say most pipe retailers, online and otherwise, other than the enlightened folks at PC, have decided that pipes and tobacco are bought mostly by men for themselves, and that spouses, kids, grandkids, and other family don't know what Dad wants, exactly, and know he isn't pleased if you get the wrong thing, so they don't pitch the Fathers Day holiday much. I would think they would, but I'm speculating on why they don't. PC is a star in this regard.

I was disappointed by the lack of sales for Fathers Day too.
Is it just me, but 15% doesnt seem like that good of a deal. :roll:
