Ipsd 2016

[Bruck]

I made a small order at P&C and saved about 3 bucks. Better'n not saving 3 bucks

Being a relative noob to the pipe world, how long has this IPSD been going on? This year was the first I've heard of it. Is it just a day for retailer/e-tailer specials, or is there more to it?

2008, if I remember correctly. It started in Europe as an online movement and grew to really be appreciated worldwide. Of course, it was meant on one side to be a way for smokers to enjoy this fine pursuit together (in person or online) but on the other side I think it was also meant as an activist movement to remind normal folks that pipe smoking is still a thing and it's not nearly as harmful as the powers that be would lead you to believe. Since then it's been co-opted as a sales day by the retailers.

Speaking of IPSD, my order from SmokingPipes arrived: four tins of Bengal Slices, two tins of SG Lakeland Dark, and five tins of SG Cabbie's Mixture. I didn't win a prize pack.
