@NicoleSTGLaneLtd The information update is appreciated it is an unfortunate thing what is happening with federal over reach. It is nice to hear the support from You, Lane Ltd. & Stanwell with keeping a promise it speaks volumes in my opinion. The promotion could have been easily dismissed but it wasn't. I agree with others here that this online community created through This Pipe Life is great and very informative for those inexperienced or veterans unfamiliar and accomplished pipe enthusiast and I hope to see it last a long time to come. It helps bring together us pipe smokers to share this wonderful hobby of ours.
@NicoleSTGLaneLtd Since you are no longer giving Pipes away can someone change the Pop Up that says Congratulations you are signed up to win a Pipe......Maybe say your signed up to win one of our prizes and maybe have a picture of the prizes we could win? Just a thought not trying to get everyone mad....sure someone will take this the wrong way and start running their mouth though!
OK Cool. Yeah they did kind of blast everyone with new rules and regulations, maybe after we get a new President we can change it again for the better....
@wolf41305, the FDA did what they did pursuant to the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009. The President can't change that law. I suppose that, theoretically, a different composition of the FDA might change it, but if you think either party is friendly to tobacco smokers,you aren't paying attention. That bill had overwhelming bipartisan support.
The more he makes changes in federal positions the more thing can change, he can and hopefully will make a difference so yes he can actually help with that change but it is up to how he does it. I do agree unless the majority smokes Cigars and/or Pipes we are doomed! BUT Never give up hope and never count anyone out.
Have you seen the new anti-smoking adds? They're saying that a hookah smoked for an hour is equivalent to smoking a mass amount of cigarettes. Get the idea we're next? Knowing the money grabbing of some states they'll require licenses to buy tobacco for an exorbitant fee of course.
Maybe you could send the pipe bowl seperate from the stem as a collectible piece of art. If one is lucky enough to win the bowl, then they have to respond at a later time and get the stem. Then each piece would not be complete as sent. It would be up to the winner to "assemble" the pipe for a "collectible art display". Hmmm? It could be a "potpourris" room freshener device. Who's to say if someone uses it "incorrectly"?
Just got my Stanwell 140 in the mail today!! This is exactly the kind of pipe that I like.. small, straight and hits like a champ. This is definitely an awesome pipe for me, and I am breaking it in right now! Thanks again!

Just a thought not trying to get everyone mad....sure someone will take this the wrong way and start running their mouth though!
