[QUOTE="msmith1956, post: 159062, member: 1797"] I have to agree. Having worked at and managed a TB in the late 70's through the early 80's, I can say that pipes and pipe tobacco were probably loss leaders in the shop. We made way more money off cigarettes, (mostly imports), and cigars than the pipe stuff. The items that made the most profit were the other non tobacco related items, (steins, and such). At one point before TB closed most of their stores, they had more gift items than pipes and tobacco. [/QUOTE]
