Pipe Acquisitions 2019

[DAN]

I just bought a Tilshead bent billiard on eBay. Probably shouldn't have. Now, I have to pick another pipe to add to the "sell" pile. But I swear, dollar for dollar (I have paid around fifty bucks for each of mine), these things are just remarkable.

This is a contest, right? The one who buys the most pipes in 2019 wins?

Yep, the prize is a turd that can be refurbished to look beautiful again...

I was hoping the prize would be a tin of McClellands from John-Boy.

I might have 1 or 2 more tins around. I'll have to check.

A tin for most accurate prediction and a tin for most pipes purchased.

FredS to Mrs FredS, December 2019 - "But dear, if I buy six more pipes I'll win a free tin of tobacco from John-Boy."

An arms race. I love it.

I made it through January with no pipe acquisitions.

I also cleared January with no purchases...it was close but I resisted and am instead sending off 2 for repairs...it will be like Christmas when they come back.

[Adam Z]

Well I'm at 2 for January and 3 for 2019. Does that mean I win?

I'm glad that one made it to you. It triggered me something fierce.

Wow, just Wow.

Well I didn't make it very long...not even through the 2nd month of the year and I have a new/estate pipe headed my way. I made a lowball offer and they accepted it...so I have a Wally Frank Billiard winging its way to Colorado.

I mean, when they accept a low ball offer it's kinda like they're paying you to take it. You'd be silly not to, right?






This is day 53 of Pipe Fast 2019.

IKR...Whole thing done and to my door for less than $20...that's less than a haircut!

I have examined this year's St Patrick pipes by Peterson. My fast is not at risk.

I got a Mark Twain cob as my first serious cob-mod.

I have accidentally destroyed the shank.

I've tried a few DOZEN fix actions to no avail.

I'm a Project Manager; not a cob-moder, Jim.

[Fainn]

I'll probably only buy the cps poy.

I bet that JimVH, coco, or winton could turn you a new shank.

This showed up 3 days early, opened it last night. It is in fantastic condition. It took about 10 min to clean up and I will give it a smoke tonight.
