I know I don't post that often but I read the forums everyday and sometimes when I read things that happen to good people I get moved. Such is the case with Irishsmoker. Obviously thankful for his service to our country and not only is he now left with a major handicap only to lose his treasured blackthorne.
I think it wouldn't be much as a community here and a wonderful gesture if we each contribute something small so Irish can get himself a new cane. Who's with me?

I'm in mctrav always willing to help a brother in arms. I have a close friend who teaches Irish Stick fighting who gets blackthorn canes from Ireland. Leave it with me for a couple days to see what I can come up with. Worst case scenario they are about 70pound sterling and about 3 weeks delivery if they are in stock. Glenn might have one at his dojo that he would part with for a good cause. I'll report back after a few phone calls.

Not really sure what 70 pound sterling means but sounds good, hopefully some more good folk will come forward here.

Hey Irishsmoker is there a specific length that you use? My objective originally was to raise money and transfer it to you via Paypal and u pick it out but if piperl12 can get one we may need some dimensions preffered.
Posted 4 months ago # -
Mine was about 35" long!

I'm with you in spirit. my finances are pretty bad right now.

+1 mctrav and piper12
I'm in. Let me know. We can't replace a family treasure but a nice walking stick from friends may become its own treasure in time.

That's totally fine zanthal moral support is good too these days. I'm a poor fool myself but I will just buy one less tin this month to help out.
Posted 4 months ago # -
If I remember correctly from when his Pete fell off the mantle and broke Irish doesn't use PayPal. Maybe he does now. Whatever works best to get it to him. My first post wasn't so clear. Count me in for sure.
Posted 4 months ago # -
My fiancé set up a Paypal so that we have one to use!
Posted 4 months ago # -
I'm in. Let me know.
Posted 4 months ago # -
That's what I was figuring , that whoever was in just send it to his account and he chooses what to get. Any amount is cool, some may want to do a lot or a little.
Posted 4 months ago # -
I'd be willing to help out. PM with the details
Posted 4 months ago # -
Payday's tomorrow... I'm in.

I'm new but Irish has added some comments to my questions that have been helpful. I'm in Canada but always appreciative of the military and what they do for us all. I'm in, please PM me and I'll add to the pot.

in fact I ended up using my Tobacco funds for bills ... and yet another @Irish, sorry brother, truly wish I could just buy you a new one... but I cant.

I would also like to participate. Please send me the account information. Thank you, Irish, for your service, sir.

So do I need to post my Paypal address?
Posted 4 months ago # -
Count me in. Anything to support a fellow soldier.
Posted 4 months ago # -
I think the email will be enough, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Posted 4 months ago # -
My Paypal email is reddrawker13@gmail.com
Posted 4 months ago # -
OK... talked to the Mrs... She agrees we can swing a small contribution... it will be minimal, so I hope thats ok?
Posted 4 months ago # -
You guys are making me tear up! I don't know how to thank all of you! I'm forever in your debts!
Posted 4 months ago # -
@ Irish..I don't see it that way at all, you gave so much of yourself (literally) so we stay safe we are in your debt.
Posted 4 months ago # -
I don't use Paypal, any technical help so I can send a contribution? Do I need a paypal account setup or can I just EFT the money to that email address?
Posted 4 months ago # -
Since Irish posted his PayPal name just send him whatever you want, that should be the best way and I'm glad this is working out. Good job!
Posted 4 months ago # -
I have sent a small contribution via Paypal. I hope that Courtney is the correct name on the account. Thank you again, Irish, for your service and your sacrifice, and for helping to keep us safe.

[url=http://victorycigars.ca/shop-online/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=82&products_id=1055][/url]May not be what you are looking for, but my local B&M has some really nice walking sticks, this one looked really nice to me.
Posted 4 months ago # -
Bloody Hell! I can never seem to get pictures or links to work properly. Go to the online store at http://www.victorycigars.ca and you can see the walking sticks there.

If 10 people send only $5 each, he will be half way to his blackthorn!
Posted 4 months ago # -
Really hope this works out for Irish!
Posted 4 months ago # -
Has anyone mentioned these yet? http://www.lollysmith.com/wlstac.html
I have read some good reviews online but I have heard a few people complain about the variability of appearance.
Lollysmith keeps popping up in my searches, however, so check it out.
Judging from what I have read they are a good sturdy option. Genuine blackthorn as well - there are a lot of imitators.

Paypal sent thanks for your service!
Posted 4 months ago # -
OK... just sent a small contribution... never sent via PayPal before, so I hope I did it right... it went to Courtney. Is this correct Irish?
Posted 4 months ago # -

This thread has renewed my faith in my fellow man. Never, I mean never have I seen something like this happen on an internet forum. Maybe it has happened, but I'm sure it is rare. This just proves what a great place this is to hang out. It is an honor to associate with you all. I wish we could all meet in one big room sometime!
Posted 4 months ago # -
Contribution sent. I know it can't replace an heirloom but hopefully it will make you feel good when you use it. Thank you so much for your service Irish!

I've seen the thread late and wouldn't have been able to give much anyway as I am unfortunately living off of savings, but this thread is great! I hope you get a great cane Irish, and I hope you treasure it materially and sentimentally.
Posted 4 months ago # -
Irish, I was able to throw in $10,(edited to convey what I wanted to say)an understatement to what I should give but I am not currently able to, I know every little bit helps, thank you for you service and great advise you give on this site and to our country.
I know you had enough already but I wanted to pitch in too.... maybe use it to get yourself some baccy for a victory smoke!!!“I believe that pipe smoking contributes to a somewhat calm and objective judgement in all human affairs.”
