[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 549715, member: 1365"] Interesting. Boy, the TAD thing has gotta be era dependent. When I think old school I think of my father (born in 1909). Let’s say men in his era achieved smoking age In the 1930’s. So sure, there were B&M’s back then, no clue what they might have stocked. But I have the feeling that most of the pipe guys around the country got their tobacco from the local drug store. To me that means a Middleton frontmark including Prince Albert and Carter Hall. I just don’t think they had access to much else. Then came WWII during which there might have been exposure to a broader selection for a few. And that wouldn’t have been here at home. But not any huge number of GI’s. I’d guess it was the after the war boom that expanded offerings even into domestic aros, etc. I started with a pipe in the early 70’s and I don’t recall how much of what was out there. But I think the expansion of available brands might have been at that time. I might be wrong though. Whatever. [/QUOTE]
