Thankfully the only B&M in my area isn't worth a crap. They have about 40 pipes, and carry about 15 types of tins.
I'd say that 80% of my buying is done online. When I do, however, I try to stock up for a few months. Then I forget to include some small tobacco in my order, and have ended up ordering about once a month.
I'm planning on going to the Pipe show in Las Vegas this November, so I'm trying to save up as much as possible, to see if I can snag a pipe I would normally not even consider buying due to the price tag. Something like a Jess Chonowitsch or a noce Tonni Nielson. Dunno, we'll see how the economy treats me.
As long as my wife gets enough play money while I'm at the show, I think I'll be able to sneak the pipe home without detection.
