Pipe tobacco UK...the price...

Hi everyone hope you are all well
I smoked a pipe before finding snuff and then gravitated more towards snuff and away from pipes and then on to snuff and cigarettes
Having pretty much stopped smoking cigarettes I picked up my pipes again and it seems to me that you can’t get a blend for much less than £16 for 50g...I’ll still keep smoking my pipes but has this gone up quite a bit over the last 2 years or am I imagining it?!
My long term worry is it will put more people off smoking pipes and we might see a reduction in offerings and ranges
The selection in my local supermarket has already dropped to Condor RR St Bruno RR Clan and Gold Block...no flakes!
Thanks
:)

24-25 years ago 50 g pouch pipe tobacco was 5 LTL, which translates to a mere 1.50 EUR. 50 g Samson and Drum RYOs were less than 1 EUR. Now 30 g pouch RYO is from 5.65 EUR here. A pack of Camel Filters – 4 EUR.
Funnily, RYO isn't popular in this region. Fags are smokes of choice for vast majority. I've noticed a lot of MYO stuff users as of late, expanded tobacco, tubes and tubing machines are sold even at the post office. 30 g LD MYO goes for 4.90 EUR (=50-60 ciggies), carton of 100 tubes – 0.60 EUR.
