There's no way of getting around it; 2018 was The Year in Hell for me. From last January until now and continuing, I've been plagued by medical issues that have drained my pocket book and will continue to pay for years from now. But despite all this, I discovered I wasn't alone: bnicoles23 helped me out in a tremendous way that I wish I could discuss here, and only asked that I "pay it forward." I did, by forwarding about six nice corn cobs to a small pipe seller who was also a great guy who sent his wares out with a grab bag of goodies. Then, I swallowed up my pride, and asked shaintiques if he had any spare tobacco laying around that he could spare. Dave came back like a flash with the following, when I was only hoping for perhaps a small bag of tobacco:
He had sent me several dozen ounces of tobacco, one bag of Barbados Plantation alone at least 15 ounces, enough to fill an empty tub I had, and much, much, more. There's enough baccy here to last for three-four months at the least, which is a huge aid into my medical expenses.
Pipe people really are different. Too bad it doesn't run off into others.
