Aged pipe tabacco, where to buy?

[kgoings]

I have found one or two places, but was wondering where everyone else purchased their vintage or aged pipe tabacco.

on topic:
a lot of us get them from pipe shows, friends who are willing to trade them/sell them... we find them... we have aged them ourselves...

how "vintage" are you looking?

have you had bad dealings with him? I've dealt with him once and it was a smooth transaction. If he's less than reliable please tell, he doesn't post here anyway

as for these pipe shows, someday I would like to live close enough to one to attend

... less than reliable ...

There are auction sellers who misrepresent current production tobacco as vintage or discontinued. While experienced buyers may recognize what is what, these listings prey on inexperienced buyers. I find the practice dishonest and distasteful.

And there are boards that selectively delete posts, ban members and cover the asses of their beloved sons. This is not one of those boards and I am not hardly a beloved son. If anyone thinks I'm a liar they can rip me a new asshole and BossHogg up at Admin won't lift a finger to help. That's the way it should be.

Getting back to the original post, why even bother to seek out vintage tobacco? It's a funny game to find and buy the right stuff at the right price. It isn't like current production is bad.

try Ebay.
I have found many tins that were rare treasures. Some I got at a good price, some I paid what the FMV was, some I paid more becuase I really wanted it, and a few tin I stole off Ebay. Like a 50 year old cutter top of Escudo for $15 bucks!

As mentioned above, watch out for pipestud. That being said, if you know what you are looking for and researched, sometimes you can get a fair deal.
I have bought from him several times in the past.....but I knew what I was getting into.

That's very interesting about pipestud, I didn't know

but I'm not surprised about the other forum in question. That place gets on my nerves really badly, it's run by a bunch of sensitive little girls. I figured adult men were capable of reading certain self-censored words, nope, B******* needed to be replaced with "bellyache" by a mod. Nevermind if you question someone they jump all over you like, well you don't smoke exclusively peterson pipes so you don't know

thanks for the heads ups

HOLY SHIIIIIIIIT!!!
he's asking $75 a TIN for Escudo??? i just GAVE a tin away a couple weeks ago...

edit: i hadn't been to his site in a few months... i guess he's really jacked the prices up now that the tax hike scare is going wild.
really surprised by how high his prices have gone up on some things.
i'm still in shock over Escudo being $75 a tin.

i don't know if "he" sets his prices, or if the consigner does... but damn.
there's 1 thing i'd buy from his site right now, if i had the extra $$ layin around. there's things i wouldn't mind owning, but not as his prices. 1 thing i would pay the amount he's asking...
the more i think about it, the more i'd do this (if i had the time).
