I don't really want to trade tobacco but it would be nice if we are allowed to PIF.
This is all about should we.
Just for clarification, does that mean cigarillos would also be off limits?
Regardless, I am in favor of the trading of tobacco here on B&B.
... I guess first and foremost this is a site dedicated to wet shaving, and secondarily dedicated to other "gentlemanly pursuits". At the extreme end of the scale I just fear we could end up being one big clearinghouse for selling used stuff...
I think keeping our Brown Leaf threads - whether they be trades, PIFs, or whatever - in the Brown Leaf only is a good idea.
Some people want to avoid the topic of tobacco, and shouldn't be faulted for it. I started enjoying the Barber Shop a lot more once the armchair commando gun threads got moved out of there and I never go into the Great Outdoors subforum, so I completely understand.

This sounds like a reasonable compromise.
I would like to participate in trading, but I really have no issue limiting it to a particular area. Again, rules need to be clear and followed, but I am for it.
I like this idea! I'm all for trading and PIFs and whatnot, but I think they should be kept in here as well.
I don't believe that this will drive anyone away. All of the topics on smoking when they were in the Barbershop certainly didn't, and neither does the Brown Leaf. At least I can't remember anyone objecting.
Might as well add my 2 cents, right?
I think tobacco trades and PIFs should be allowed on B&B, but I would wish to see it only take place in the Brown Leaf forum. I'm not a huge fan of the new BST setup*, and I would prefer the non-shaving forums to have their own, mini-BSTs.
*Yes, I've tried it and given it a fair shot.
That would be great- fountain pens should not be lumped in with shaving supplies.and I would prefer the non-shaving forums to have their own, mini-BSTs.
