This!Because enough of my paycheck doesn't got to DE already. I just hope it's not all aromatic.
No offence but, $11.95 for a tin of tobacco made by someone not known for pipe tobacco is high. Dunhill, one of the major names in pipe tobacco sell their tobacco cheaper than that. A 2oz tin of Penzance, the holy grail of pipe tobacco when in stock, sells for less than that. Now if they are packing 3oz tins at that price, then it's a different story.The press release said it will retail for like $11.95 a tin, so not too pricey. And they are focusing on regular style pipe tobacco before they jump into some of the more "Drew" like offerings. I don't smoke a pipe very often but I will be sure to try it.
None taken at all my man. I will be the first to admit I don't know a lot about pipe tobacco. Thank you for info. It looks like they are putting out 1.75oz tins, so that could be a bit pricey. I will still try it I am sure but I only smoke my pipe a few times a year.No offence but, $11.95 for a tin of tobacco made by someone not known for pipe tobacco is high.

I agree on the new pipe smokers new wave for sure Craig. LOL Btw, love your Open Championship avatar.Tins have always been a bit of a hard sell unless a guy likes his tins. When we sell 40+ bulk tobaccos for around $2.35 an oz most will go for that instead. The Dunhill and Peterson tins are sought after amongst the pipe guys for sure. I sense a new wave of pipe smokers after this announcement, lol.
