Yeah, that's right. I ordered my latest pipe from Iwan Ries a little while ago. Today, when I got home, there was a small box waiting for me.


They sent me 6 1.5oz. packages of their tobacco blends to try...first class right there! :thumbsup:

How much was that one pipe? I have browsed their site a few times, and if I ever wanna lay down some bucks for a pipe instead of using my ebay specials I might go there.

These were a continuation of the freebie samples from Altadis USA. I got three of the same packages you recieved today. I am not sure why 1 was not enough.

Oh, ok...It specifically mentioned Iwan Ries so I figured it was from the purchase.

Note included is signed, Altadis USA. I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't receive three of them.

Hmm I got my altadis sampler today, it had like 15 1.5oz bags in it. Do you mean there is more where that came from?!?

Unless you recently ordered three pipes. :dunno:

Haven't ordered from Iwan Ries before. Have picked the few pipes I have from local B&Ms.

I am not going to have to buy pipe tobacco for a while now.

I can't wait to go back to their shop in April!!!!! I'm looking at their Little Pocket pipe. Maybe they'll still have one available. Got five 1oz sample's too.

Although I love my cigars I'd love to find someone with a pipe and try some pipe tobacco. Anyone ever smoke a hookah....Sheesha is the moist tobacco that goes into hookah's with a coal on top.

Unfortunately no, they're all the same half dozen samples. Some I like, others I don't so someone's going to get hit one of these days. ;)
