I got my sixth Mario Grandi in the mail direct from Roma, Italy today (6th in 2 months)... oh and... a Nording too. LOL. I am making a vow to not purchase anymore pipes fooooooooooor... five months. I almost blew that at 9pm tonight; for Crice sakes... saw a beautiful Mario Grandi estate on Ebay for about $50.00 but... I heeded. I think I can do this; I know I can! Five months; no pipes. I didn't anything about tobacco though... LOL.

You my friend are doomed , you have PAD and there is no cure . As for myself I have been PAD free since I got four pipes from StrongIrish a couple months back .My prescription to you is to buy four Marios at once and get plenty of rest .

I've heard of a man that tried to go 6 months without buying another pipe to add to his collection.

No one ever heard of him again.

Some say he gave into temptation and wound up moving to Italy just so he didn't have to pay for shipping, yet others say he died of an empty slot in his pipe-rack...
Good luck on that one pipeville, because you're definitely going to need it my friend...most definitely going to need it... ::

Here is a cure. Spend several hundred, ok thousand, on woodworking tools and briar. Then make your own pipes. From personal experience, sawdust can be very addictive.

. . . we're such a supportive bunch XD enabling old currs that we are.
Good luck with it mate, after I get my Uncle Arthur, I myself have sworn it off for many moons to come. However, I was doing good (3 whole months!) before Arthur, and really he's just making up for an unfulfilled order in a sense so I didn't -really- cheat my self-order :P.
My point is. . . it can be done! MAybe. . .

I am not going to get any more pipes either, at least for a few months. My rotation is getting so long that I only get to smoke my favorites once a week or less.

I've found the best way to cut back on buying pipes, is to lose your job

Its ALMOST worked for me.

I've only got 3 new pipes since then.

But, for the record, I've sold about 20 of them.

Sirbogglesworth hit it on the head. Arthur sponsoring a PAD recovery is like asking Tyrone Biggums how to get off drugs.

Peanut butter and crack sandwiches mmmmmmmmmmm.

Alas, given in to temptation. ;-) As previously stated, it is an incurable disorder we all have.
Looks like a beauty tho. Hope it smokes well for you.

Gaaaa, Pipeville. This was worse than Kramer's almost instant capitulation in the Seinfeld episode, "The Contest."
