Sales to the EU have been suspended

The new VAT rules take effect on July 1, 2021 and would require us to register if we sell to EU member countries. We have decided for the present to forgo registering with the EU taxing authorities and will not be selling good to the EU. We have selected specific countries to sell to so if you are outside of the United States or Canada and do not see an option to purchase, or your county does not appear on the list, please contact us and we will assist you.

Credit Card Payments

Did you know PayPal allows buyers to use a credit card if you don't have a PayPal account? It is safe and secure and you will not have to create a PayPal account. We recently lost our credit card processor because they took exception to the fact that we sell pipes which can be used to smoke tobacco. We do not encourage the use of tobacco, nor do we discourage pipe smokers from packing their pipes with their favorite blends. It's a pipe thing, some people just don't understand. The good news is that you can still pay by credit…

A word about add-ons on the checkout page – updated

We have removed product-level add-ons on the product pages. Some products have variations but if you want to add pipe cleaners or a pipe tool you can do that when you check out. The options to have varnish applied to your clay pipe are available at checkout as well. If you buy a pipe that is pre-varnished, such as the black tipped pirate pipe or the red tipped Sherlock English tavern pipe, you do not need to purchase varnish on the checkout page.

Happy Halloween

Halloween is high up the list of our favorite holidays. We think it's because when Ken goes outside on Halloween nobody freaks out because they think he's just wearing a mask. It's much harder for Ken to be out in public the other 364 days of the year. Anyway, this weekend we're having out annual Halloween Sale with every regular priced item at a 10% discount. (Doesn't apply to items already on sale, no coupon needed, no minimum, just a discount)

New in stock alert notification available

We carry a lot of pipes and accessories and sometimes they sell out. Usually we can get them back in stock in a relatively short period of time, but we know it can be disappointing if the item you want is not available. We have added a new feature that will, we hope, alert you when an item is back on the shelf. We are in the process of testing the FollowPrice plugin for our shopping cart. If you want to find out when an item goes on sale or when an item that is sold out is back in…
