When TPL first started, they were actually giving out Stanwell HCA pipes (I was winner in July 2016) but they stopped the pipe prizes in October 2016 and switched to accessories. If I remember correctly they stopped the give-aways because of government regulations which went into effect in 2018. These were the same regulations which prohibited vendors from giving out free samples of tobacco at pipe shows.
I get the notice all the time. It comes up after I log out, then log back in, or if I close out, then open up right away again. In fact, I just got the message. Sadly, I have not seen any goodies😢
No pipes, no tobacco....damn over-reaching gub’ment. I’m surprised they could send tobacco pouches, but maybe they called them something else....like “possibles storage bag”, or maybe they said they were for weed.....because...well, weed is better for you than tobacco and socially acceptable. That makes sense, right?
<<Smoke is harmful to lung health, period. Whether from burning wood, tobacco or marijuana, toxins and carcinogens are released from the combustion of materials. Smoke from marijuana combustion has been shown to contain many of the same toxins, irritants and carcinogens as tobacco smoke.
Beyond just what's in the smoke alone, marijuana is typically smoked differently than tobacco. Marijuana smokers tend to inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than cigarette smokers, which leads to a greater exposure per breath to tar.>>
I would point out that I found a method to bring up the ad for the contest purely by accident.
was able to use that method to enter daily and eventually received a note (via e-mail) that I had won the pouch.\
That method still works by the way; if you click on the small white square the says THIS PIPE LIFE at the top left portion of the page it will bring it up.

Thank you for the opportunity.
It’s been months since I saw that screen upon sign-in
I see the screen occasionally but....

Thanks for clarifying!
Good. Maybe they did continue the accessory give away longer than I remembered.
I do know they stopped giving away pipes and tobacco though.

Brings up the sign-in page, but not the drawing. Signing-in doesn't either.
