8 New Estate Pipes - An Incredible Gift from the Forum.

[AppalachianPipe92]

I'm speechless as I type this. The great @ashdigger sent me a box of some pipes he was thinning from his collection. All in great condition. Some fantastic pipes, and an extremely nice gesture.
Attached are some photos of each pipe. Still learning details about each.

Wow!!!! What a nice gift, I wish I had a friend be like "here I have to many, take them and ask no questions" ?

 

[AppalachianPipe92]

Comoys is from 1950s, paneled billaird from 1930s, 2 lovats and the Kaywoodie Billiard from late 20s to 30s.

"Hey, that BBB is crazy special. It was a ships or port of call purchase. That ship sank in the 1930’s"

That is a very kind gift you got.

It seemed all the news was bad today until I read this thread ! Congratulations AppalachianPiper92 on your news pipes. Enjoy them in good health ! And Thank you @ashdigger for spreading joy and restoring faith in humanity through an act of kindness. There is an old saying that if you cast your bread upon the waters you will be repaid a thousand fold ! (Better buy some new pipe racks just in case !??)

Is there more of a story here? What is the ship connection?
Very generous of Ash, and nice to see pipes get new life and use.

 

[ashdigger]

The ship was the RSS Bermuda. It sank during the 30’s. It made the run from England to the Caribbean

I have been the recipient of Tim's kindness before. Enjoy the pipes and the spirit in which they were gifted.

I have seen ash digger's other posts. He may be shifting the saddle's but he isn't thinning the herd.
