[QUOTE="Dutch, post: 405887, member: 1387"] A couple thoughts come to mind. Compared to a premium cigar, pipe tobacco is an out and out steal. I think a lot of the sticker shock comes from some pipe and cigar enthusiasts being able to remember when tobacco was much cheaper. Upside is that at some point they won't remember how cheap it used to be, and they will just enjoy smoking it. My dad told me when he was a kid, it cost a dime to go see a movie, and a nickel to buy a coke. I don't think they had invented popcorn yet, or maybe he just didn't have another nickel. Also, I figure if you can afford a decent briar or meerschaum pipe, you can't really complain about the cost of premium tobacco. I'm betting that we are enjoying higher quality tobacco right now, than at any other time in history. [/QUOTE]
