Another PAD story

So I was in the neighborhood of my not-so-local B&M so I decided to stop in and pick up some pipe cleaners, wind caps, and an empty cigar box to put miscellaneous pipe paraphernalia in. Browsing around the shop I noticed a gourd calabash priced at $300. I asked if they matched their online prices because I knew it was $250 (c'mon we all know why I was really there). Supposedly someone forgot to update the website and the best price they would give me was $270. After sampling a couple of bowls of some opened tins they had available I asked if I could at least get the cleaners, caps and box (about $17) with the pipe for $270. A deal was made and I figure I took about a $3 hit, but to be honest I don't know if I was entirely in the market for a new pipe on this particular day (a week before my girl's birthday). Did I win? Did I get taken? I feel like I got a bit blind sided, felt a little rushed, but did not want to return another day to pay $300. Curse this damn disorder...

Love the way it looks, haven't had a chance to smoke it yet.

I asked the guy in the front if it would be ok to buy the pipe online and 'pick up in store' but i guess when he was checking the price he was asking the owner who was in the back. When i brought up the question he said that the online price was 'being changed as we speak' and that I should've just bought it online without bringing up the price difference. Didn't seem like the friendliest response, but I have to assume that he was not the boss. Anyhow as I was sampling their tobaccos I went online on my phone anyways and sure enough the prices had changed.

There's a response I was looking for! Buyers remorse gone and my purchase feels justified. Lol. Thanks wrangler. Now what to put in it... Life is tough...

Well I just had my first smoke with it and all i can say is everything I've read about gourd calabashes are true. There's not much I can add to the topic of how great they smoke and I can say that I am super happy with the pipe.
