If I win the Powerball tonight, this is the pipe I am getting

lasttango · Jan 13, 2016

If I win the powerball tonight, I suppose I would indulge in a few things...
This is the pipe I would have to get: http://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/castello/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=155429
Make sure you post your favorite pipe so I might gift you (in case I win) LOL
If I don't win, I am strongly considering one of these... anyone try one of the Luciano 30's?

An unsmoked Bo Nordh, or Lars Ivarsson would work. :mrgreen:

pappymac · Jan 13, 2016

I would probably buy a Dunhill

papipeguy · Jan 13, 2016

Or just buy Dunhill. A few hundred million should swing the deal.

I wasn't fast enough.
But I would settle for buying Lorenzetti...or anything in Germany.. or Italy.
Or the guys that produce Esoterica blends..

I would say if you could have it made an Amber Root 5108. If not an Amber root 5102 would work.

tango: Now, the above Former Apple, a mere $3,490, is what I would pick if you win. So, here's hoping.
And just in case you lose and I win, you'll get that Castello! Maybe several of the Castello 55 series, just to finish off your collection.

Why buy a pipe, with that kind of money you could buy a company and assign somebody to be your own personal carver and craft whatever you might fancy each week but I hear the odds are 29,000,000 to one so maybe picking an alternative is a good idea.

That's the one.

If I were going to parlay millions into a hobby business, I think I'd be more apt to buy a wrist watch company... maybe revive Hamilton by buying it back from the Swatch Company. Hire laid off American Labor... Run for Senate, help pass a bill that allows pipe smoking everywhere except in baby's faces... and see, it does always come back to pipes.
But, back to reality. I bought that $162 Luciano Pot - which is what I can afford on my teacher's salary - an early 45th birthday present to me. My lady said "you should pick out a pipe!" she liked this bent egg, but I think I am more of a straight pipe guy.
I grabbed anther new Luciano a few weeks ago as a Christmas present to myself. I was very impressed with the craftsmanship and quality of the NEW Lucianos.

I saw that the pipe was sold and hoped that was your fault. Glad to hear it was, congrats!

lifesizehobbit · Jan 13, 2016

Good luck to you, I hope you win! I think it would be great fun to buy things for friends out of the blue.

mso489 · Jan 13, 2016

If my ticket came up, I might look for one of those unsmoked Sixten Iverrson originals. I have two Lucianos and think they are excellent pipes beyond their price. I like my pots a little lighter for clenching and have found good ones by Sav. Again, a lot of pipe per buck.

swhipple · Jan 13, 2016

Since you asked, I've always liked the Tsuge Ikebana pipes, especially those carved by Kikuchi. They are out of the price range I'm willing to pay normally but with 1.5 billion I could probably squeeze it into the budget :D

A half dozen Petes with silver wind caps. I'd fly to Dublin of course and personally choose and inspect each one. Then on to Connemara for a couple of months with a load of blends. Hold up in the Roundstone House Hotel and break them in walking the bogs and beaches. I might even buy that little cottage with the red door across the bay.

blackbeard · Jan 14, 2016

I'd take whatever. I'm not that picky as long as it smokes well. To be honest...if I had won...you'd likely still see me picking up stuff in antique stores.

hawke · Jan 14, 2016

Badger, while you are still in your right mind, leave this forum and never return. Fill your cob with a drug store tobacco and don't look at any pipe tobacco magazines. You have been warned. PAD and TAD are vicious bedfellows!

Haha Hawke, now I can't say that nobody warned me.
