[QUOTE="NeroWolfe, post: 158678, member: 797"] As has been said: OVERHEAD !!!!! The only things keeping many tobacconists afloat are cigarettes and cigars, with pipes and pipe tobaccos as a neutral stock item at best. I recall visiting a reasonably well known pipe carver who also owns a shop in the downtown area of an upper mid-West city.........I was there for 2 hours chatting and perusing his reasonably good stock of pipes and tobaccos, including pipes he made himself. In that 2 hours I was the only one there interested in pipes, but he had a very steady stream of cigarette and cigar customers. (And, yes, I did buy a pipe; one of his own creations). The city: Minneapolis. The pipe-maker and shop owner: Rich Lewis. Great guy and great pipe-carver. [/QUOTE]
