Who Bought This Ryan Alden Estate On This Forum In 2020?

[americaman]

In October 2020 a user on this forum named f5rd2hy was selling this Ryan Alden pipe. I was on a special trip with my wife and messaged the guy and wasn’t really focused because I wanted to stay focused on my wife. The next day, I believe it was, he told me it was sold to another person on this forum. I messaged him a little while back to see if he could pass a message on to whoever he sold it to, but he never responded and it shows that he hasn’t been on the forum since 2021.

Anyways, I think about this pipe quite often and wished I bought it because it now always reminds me of that trip. So if you see this post and you own this pipe I’m just letting you know that if you ever want to sell this pipe PLEASE let me know. So if you see this post, and you ever want to sell, I would love to hear from you.

Cheers

Good luck in chasing the one that got away!

I think the moral here is pretty clear.

Never place your wife before a nice pipe?

Indeed.

Women in all their non-related-to-you-by-blood forms are detrimental to pipe acquisition by men.

(Talking about XX wimmen, btw, not this kind. I have no idea what its preference might be regarding pipes. The tobacco smoking kind, anyway):






The net take away?

1) --- Treat your wallet like Marshall Dillion did his Colt .45 when you see a pipe you like, cuz it's likely to disappear quickly.

2) --- Learn what all the non-related-to-you-by-blood wimmen around you like to eat and wear, and buy some choice examples of those things at the same time as the pipe to camouflage your online activity. Distribute as required.

3) --- Have all pipe packages delivered to your workplace or a neighbor's house, and retrieve when the coast is clear.

4) --- Destroy all evidence of the transaction after the fact.

Alternatively George I believe a healthy relationship is structured around ignorance as willful as it is mutual. My wife is indifferent to the parade of little boxes which arrive at our home bearing pipes or tobaccos and I likewise turn a blind eye to the miraculous appearance of new shoes, clothes and accessories.

I made a similar post about a Musico that sold on Smokingpipes. I've had 0 replies to date. There are two explanations.

1. The person who bought it isn't a member here. (I seriously doubt that, because everyone who smokes a pipe and uses the internet is a member here.)

2. They don't want to tell me because they're greedy and keeping it all to themselves. (The most likely explanation.)

Here's the post, in case anybody wants to fess up!

Musico Paneled Billiard :: Pipe Talk

It was on my wishlist at smoking pipes. Which one of you bought it? I'm upset ?

I can say two things with certainty - I don't have it, but if I had seen it I would have bought it.

.. and since we're playing this game...

Which one of you varmints stole this Suhr from me?

Haha, still remember being with my wife in South Dakota a couple of years ago and ready to start down some sorghum for some pheasants but had to delay the 10 am start while I stood there, dog wondering why the heck we were waiting, and logged onto @pipestud to see what was there (and bought some, lol).

OK, that's one suspect moved off the list, and you were probably number one. You've always seemed like the kind of guy who filters the sp pipe search by these paramaters too.

Methinks da wiffer has lured you into a false equivalence sort of "agreement":

 

[jguss]

Hmm. The Parva Mea is a bit garish but maybe I’ll borrow my wife’s Easter Egg purse to carry my Bo Nordh rotation when I head to the next pipe show.

As for the doctrine of false equivalency, I’m pretty sure it was embedded in our marriage vows.

Sure it was f5rd2hy? His last post appears to have been February 2020.

Not sure where such wives are found that disable buying pipes. My wife bought me the majority of mine and quite a bit of my tobacco.

George,
I would avoid pissing off this guy. He appears to be packing some heat.

Your wife is a treasure beyond price.

Duane,

Your wife is a keeper

Mine is not a DIS-abler. But she is definitely NOT an EN-abler

After the death of my first wife I never thought I'd find love again. She's more than I deserve.

@americaman this thread reminds me of when you missed out on the cringle flake drop (or whatever special release it was) as your wife was in labour.
