Hi Chaps
Having recently taken up smoking a pipe I have frustratingly found it difficult (impossible actually!) to find samples of decent pipe tobacco, i.e. the nice premium stuff pre-packed in tins/pouches. It seems the only sample size portions you can buy are from loose blends. Every vendor I've contacted is reluctant to split tins or pouches into samples.
Due to crummy EU legislation, 25g pouches have disappeared and looks like 50g is the norm too, so buying a whole 50g for £14-15 isn't the most economical just to sample it, especially if you don't like it!
I've contacted the mods and asked if I might be able to do a group buy on some decent pipe tobacco which has been approved, so the details are below. Fingers crossed there are a few like minded pipe smokers here who wish to try a few decent tobaccos. It will be 5 x 10g samples of the below, which i'll hygienically pack into food grade ziplock bags and post as a large letter. I'll post details of the tobacco in the next post so this post doesn't get too messy! Will buy from https://www.mysmokingshop.co.uk/
