Have been enjoying the forum. It's a wealth of information and most appreciated.
I'm a collector of old stuff. Various things. Pipes are one of those things that I like to have. They are beautiful little objects. But, it's time to thin the herd in a big way.
I have about 25 or so pipes I am going to clean, buff up, package up nice and send them over to @jjmitchem at an APO. I can do that easy enough. These are pipes that I have bought for me at various auctions. They should be good for many many long afternoons in the shade. The thought of them being used to help someone unwind makes my happy.
As an American, my respect of the military increases every single day our guys and gals are over there. The amount of time they have been at it, in the field, is Historic. It's going on 2 decades of war and the troops are still efficiently doing their job.
Anyway, here's what I am asking. I want to put a nice supply of sampling tobaccos along with the pipes. I am going to donate some poundage (I have some really nice Heinrich #2 and #4 Cru, some ropes etc). If I send 20 packages @ 100gm per package that's about 5 pounds of product I would need to include. I will repackage inside food grade resealable that should hold 25 grams each. So 4 samples would go along with the pipe.
If anyone has EXTRA loose that they want to donate please PM me I will get it all packaged up and sent out. I don't think that tinned is the way to go here, and don't mess around if you don't have plenty. Anything extra or leftover is going to get put in the package to be distributed. I am 100% that I will receive way too many requests to donate, so please do not be offended if I don't respond. It just means that I have too much already.
I have been wanting to do this for a year and this forum put me in touch with the right folks. It's most appreciated!
