| On my watch list just for the hell of it. It's good, but not that good. My last couple of ounces got tossed because a weird off-flavor had developed. Would buy another tin at close to normal prices, but I'm pretty much done with it. Call it sour grapes. Call me biased. But don't call me.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/173385880770?ViewItem=&item=173385880770 |

| I hope that it is some Chinese market situation. I say that with no bias against the Chinese. I mean that, too. I just hope it is something that wouldn't make sense to me and that I'm completely unaware of in its circumstances.
I'd be much more agitated if it was someone from the USA, like the beginnings of hipsters etc finding their way, bringing stupid money and inane sensibilities to the pipe world. |

Your nightmare has come true, Zeno. The seller does not ship outside the U.S.A. Good catch, Davy. I was wondering about the wealthy China lunatic thing myself, or some equivalent. Somewhere in Oklahoma there is one happy seller. Doesn't look like a big dealer or anything; he only has one other item, a rather nice pipe ashtray. More power to him, I say, and hope that the bidder is real. Two hours to go before the snipers move in.  |

| Can't see, by clicking on the link, how the Penzance finished at. Anyone knows? But hey, now there's a new Esoterica up for grab: Rich Dark Flake! Esoterica Rich Dark Flake? No, Rich Dark Flake is not the same as Stonehaven. The first is Virginia forward as the second, Burley forward. This shows the gentleman selling probably isn't a pipe smoker himself because he would not make such a gross mistake by listing it as Esoterica if he were.  |

| I'm sorry, but this is ugly. I'm fine with markets and most other capitalistic whatnot, but...it just doesn't sit pretty is all. This user is cleaning up.

If you don't want to feel grimy about our passionate hobby, it's best to not go looking at tobacco on ebay. |

|  Does one smoke tobacco after paying that much for it or just stare at it? |
