So being a new pipe smoker and not sure if this is just how it works but obviously pipe tobacco is cheaper then cigars. I’ll see a blend and look it up and most likely buy it but it always seems to be out of stock. Is that just how it is like as soon as a order comes in you gotta grab it or am I just looking at the wrong sites. The main site I use is smoking pipes because they are 18 and up
Being a cigar aficionado for years, I've personally came to terms with price. It is normal to throw down $10-20.00 for a single stick. But when I started the pipe, I was pleasantly surprised to discover the same price would allow me to purchase 4+ ounces of pipe weed which is well over 30 bowls!
If i may be so bold as to offer my humble opinion, I would encourage you to watch the forums here and see what others enjoy. Primarily I have purchased bulk tobacco from
Pipes and Cigars, because their selection is huge and their prices are reasonable. But very recently, I've discovered two more treasure coves!
Country Squire - The Country Squire is a Mississippi shop which has wonderful Middle Earth themed blends! If you really have the desire to lose yourself in some of the best tobacco blends I have ever smoked, purchase a bag of
Old Toby. I plan on throwing a lot of my money at them this following month.
J.M. Boswell's - Earlier, I was doing some digging into Amish pipe tobacco, and Boswell's came up. Apparently, they have a good selection of themed blends (Summer, Autumn, Holiday) that I want to try.
I don't plan on giving up cigars. I enjoy sitting on my front deck and smoking a stick in the late afternoon. But with the pipe, I have more options at a better price!
Hope this helps.
ADDENDUM - If you want to try another wonderful blend, allow me to suggest
Lane's 1-Q!
