Tobacco reviews blocked?

[Gaius Marius]

If anybody wants a VPN and chooses to go with Nord, I'd like to do the thing where I send you the link. This will get us both free time with the service.

Not blocked in ND. I have VPN through Malwarebytes. I like it. I'm not surprised about European censorship. I still remember my last time in London in 2016. Tobacco shops had to blacken their windows or go out of business, or sell non-tobacco items, like Dunhill. So people turn to the internet, so then governments start bocking pro-tobacco websites. VP Vance just addressed the European Union on website freedom.

Oddly when refreshing the site, I can see the age warning for a split second then the cloudflare error pops up. Will play with my vpn to see whether I can get in.

I have received absolutely no response to my e-mails from either Tobacco Reviews or Tobacco Pipes, not sure it's even worth pursuing. If they can't be bothered informing us of the difficulty I can't see being bothered to use their sites any longer. They're both associated with Sutliff/MacBaren so they won't be making any future improvements to their sites. There are other sites with active investment in the pipe community that would benefit from support.

I am also blocked from Canada, actually not just tobaccoreviews, a few tobacco related websites are also blocking. I was able to access it with VPN and USA IP.

I'm blocked too, here in UK. No apparent reason, and I have never posted anything like on the site

Apparently it is the website owners themselves, STG doing the blocking. Hopefully it will get resolved

Somehow, I am not surprised.
