For Addiction Support, You're All Useless!!!

The other night I bid on a dozen or so tins of aged tobacco, my first time doing so. I expected to win a couple, but awake to "winning" the whole dozen. My acquisition disorder is starting to bleed over to other aspects of my life. I actually skipped a meal today to save money!

The S. Bang is coming by way of Michael over at BriarBlues and the Kent Rasmussen by way of Rodrigo at TREASUREPIPES. Misc tobacco from PIPESTUD, Historymann, and a couple others I'm unfamiliar with. Heavy sigh

The tobacco I order somewhat blindly....

Thanks Gigger! You're continued support means less to me than you can imagine.

A Bang will pay you a few nights in a hotel if the house is gone! :wink: :lol:

That Billiard is sheer beauty!!! :worship: :worship: :worship:

Nate, I just want you to know that I have been living vicariously through you these past few weeks! You have built up a dream collection of pipes and tobacco. Keep up the great work!

The aged Mac Baren Syrian is a great score I bought 3 from pipestud 2 years ago. Mine is from 2006 and I have to say it is fantàstic. Still have 2 tins left

Thanks ConleJM!! That's high praise!! Glad to know I'm not riding this train alone!!
Concerning Peck, I have a problem with spending money on pipes and now tobacco, not so much quantity as dollar figure. Peck has a PROBLEMX3 with quantity, quality, dollar figure, storage capacity, and whatever other aspects exist. Dude needs an Intervention!! Intervention being the word used as an excuse to cease his assets

Eastern... Good to know as I know nothing at all about what I bought. Making blind purchases makes for bad choices, but figured I'd have to luck out on a couple at least. Good to know I got at least one good one!!
gigger, I've sold my Dunhills that I was willing to part with, but I do have a really nice Davidoff I'd trade. I bought a trio of them. One is away being repaired, one i smoke regularly, and the last is too large for my smoking tastes. PM me if interested.
St. V.... what a tragic sad thought, hocking a Bang for a room. sad. I fell in love with that billiard the moment I saw it and overpaid most likely, but I think it's the most perfect billiard I've ever seen and its LG which is rare for Bangs. I can't wait till its in my hands which according to UPS won't be till next week

8O OMG, Peck´s pictures are shocking!!! 8O
You guys make me feel much better now..... :mrgreen:

iamn8 · Jan 21, 2015

It's what we're all here for, to make each other feel that our sickness is less extreme than someone else's. I'm thankful for this Peck guy.

Agreed, you really need some turn of the 20th century English factory pipes to round out your collection. Go get yourself some fishtail Sasieni 8 dots, and some Family era Royal Comoy's, Blue Ribands and London Prides... *grin*

You need to rethink your thread titles, bro. I think we are collectively doing yeomans work in supporting your addiction...
:nana:

iamn8 · Jan 21, 2015

Well I've found when I post these threads on the actual addiction forum the responses are very, very sad. I read them while my tears put out my pipe :crying:

wyfbane · Jan 21, 2015

I am sorry... don't get your pipes wet. You have nice pipes!
But in another thread, this happened:

Don't listen to these guys. It's a terrific hobby and doesn't at all have financial or practical costs. It's harmless in each and every way. Happy smoking!!!

So you are already aiding and abetting others...
:rofl:

freakiefrog · Jan 21, 2015

You misunderstood. We are a PAD and TAD Support Group. We Support your addiction.

wyfbane · Jan 21, 2015

^^ That's how I've always seen it...
heh heh

toby67 · Jan 21, 2015

Wow Peck, have you smoked from all of those pipes at least once, if you had them all in your rotation you would have to be lucky to smoke the same pipe in the same 10-12 month period. lol
What a hoard of tobacco, you could almost open your own online store. lmao
How long did it take you to collect all those pipes and tobacco's?

tarheel1 · Jan 21, 2015

I agree. I just ordered a bespoke pipe from Chris Askwith.

danielplainview · Jan 21, 2015

Sorry guys, I didn't clarify. The pipe pics were just a random google for PAD. The cellar pic is from one of Pecks posts.

I know the first thing an addict says is, I don't have a problem, but I don't see a problem with collecting pipes or cellaring.

It could be worse. Gambling, hookers, beanie babies...

peckinpahhombre · Jan 21, 2015

Thanks for the clarification. I can assure you that my pipes are much better organized than in that top photo. I also deny any knowledge of the second photo.

iamn8 · Jan 21, 2015

Damn peck.... For a guy in such profound state of addiction you'd think some resources would've gone into more industrial shelving! Those babies are buckling!!!
