Re: Pipes to troops

Do you guys have anyone specific you're sending pipes to? Drew Estate works with an organization called cigars for warriors, they send care packages to troops on combat zones.

Re: Locations of B&M stores?

Florida has an insane tax on pipe tobacco, we only have 3-4 retailers in the state that carry our pipe tobaccos. I do not know of anything in the Orlando area off the top of my head

Re: Locations of B&M stores?

I sell cigars to around 280 stores in 4 states, there's only about 3-3.5 dozen that have a decent selection of pipe tobaccos, and 18 that are worth visiting for pipes, out of that only 4-5 that are real good pipe shops, see above poster for a good B&M

Re: 2nd Annual Pipe Makers Forum Midwest Meetup

Barring a trip to Nicaragua, I will be there. Premal, I will bring samples of DE Pipe tobacco for the event. If you want to run specials on it, i will bring swag, if not I will at the least have samples. If there was a category for worst pipe, I would bring most of what I have made thus far.

Mn be prepared for tobacco taxes in NY, he could try calling the Davidoff or Nat Sherman stores, and there is also De La Concha which might be your best bet

Re: 2nd Annual Pipe Makers Forum Midwest Meetup

I'll be in if Premal let's me, I tend to be a black cloud over his machinery at times when I'm in the shop. Maybe even convince my fellow Pittsburgher Harry aka Big Casino to leave his cave for a day.
