Lost My Favourite Pipe...

[Wellington]

Well, I've been very frustrated this last while. I go through phases with smoking pipes, im in one now for the first time in a while, and sometime during the last couple months, my favourite, at least one of my favourites, and certainly my main smoker went missing. I have checked everywhere it could be and I've begun to think it's actually gone. Very frustrating. All my other pipes are accounted for, even my corn cobs.

It was a new old stock (very old stock) Graco I bought from smoking pipes around 8 or 9 years ago or so. It was stock found in a factory or old store in Germany or somewhere in Europe, I think theyd it was as old as few decade, i kind of forget the details. It was a straight billiard, in b lack sandblast, but done VERY well, I usually am not a fan at all of sandblast, this one was soo cool, I'd say it was my most used, smoked very well.

Anyway, I'm just lamenting my loss, life goes on, my two Brighams are now my main smokers.

Man that sucks. Hope it turns up. ?

it's got to be somewhere. Hopefully you end up in the same somewhere and find it.

That’s a Bummer. Not knowing what happened is often the worst part.
Hope you find something to fill the gap.

Very sorry for your loss... great excuse to buy a new one! I do hope it turns up for you though. It’s like we build a relationship with our pipes so I understand how frustrating it would be if I lost one.

I hope it turns up.

I have a toddler, I have a fear that I left it accessible and he dumped it in the garbage can, because he loves playing with the garbage can and ive caught him playing with a different pipe of mine i left out once. I hope that's not the case but it could be.

That hurts. I'd be very upset if I lost any of my favors pipes. Hope it turns up.

I have a toddler

I have two kids, and every time I misplace anything, I assume that they threw it out. But I am happily surprised when I find it.

Hope it shows up.

That sucks. I know I have a favorite pipe not as nice as what you describe but its still my favorite and a great smoker. I would hate it if something happened to it

 

[kcghost]

Yeah, losing a favorite pipe would be a bummer.

But it's a very good reason to buy a new pipe, and few more for back up.

Sorry to hear that. I rarely take my nicer pipes away from my house for more or less that same reason. The furthest they travel is to the front porch or the back patio. There are exceptions, but not many. I've got some knockaround pipes that do the trick just fine.

Anyone else find it ironic that someone named loseth lost a pipe?

You beat me too it before I could read to the bottom! Every time I lose something, it’s ALWAYS in the last place I look

Weird how that works isn't it?

My son used to do that with stuff. Thankfully neither of my kids had a fascination with flushing random objects down the toilet. That’s a common (and potentially costly) one.

I only have two nicer pipes they are also my most expensive at $40 a piece

Haha, never thought about it, the name is pronounced "Law-sit" (Norwegian) so it didn't cross my mind!
