Wait. Your wife? You mean like the woman you married, takes your tobacco, and smokes it? And she has her own stash of pipe tobacco, that SHE smokes? With a pipe?
No no no that can't be.
What did you really mean by that statement?
Anyone Given Up On PAD for TAD?

Yep, she now loves the MM Short Stop cobs and LJ Peretti Blend 52 tobacco.

Had to edit that blend name. She corrected me. :mrgreen:
I need to find an artisan that can make stems as small as the Short Stop and commission her a pipe.
Yep it's true, folks! Duane's wife smokes a pipe. And what's even crazier... He quit buying pipes, and NOW she keeps buying him MORE!!! 8O 8O 8O
Edit to add: Oh yeah, and just so ya'll know, I already asked if she had a sister. She does not

My wife used to smoke cigarettes but gave them up. I was smoking cigars and picked up some filtered little cigars (38 Special) and she tried one and liked it. Now I have gone back to my pipes and she still smokes the little cigars. I'm trying to get her to switch to a pipe but she is resisting. I think if she ever tries it she would like it. Stranger things have happened.
Yeah, me too. Just TAD now since I am set for pipes.
Though may fall from the wagon when I shall find that "perfect" pipe :D

Unfortunately, when my wife says I don't really need another [shotgun, pipe, fly rod, etc.] she is right. I feel better about buying baccy though. I have never made money reselling a pipe, but I definitely have with baccy. Of course second party sales may be illegal soon?
Both have slowed considerably, but not stopped entirely. Having finally gotten around to trying some Watch City blends, I added a few lbs to the pile. Otherwise, pretty much done on both counts.
In November of 2018 I bought my last large batch of tobacco. I finally tried Savinelli Doblone d'Oro and loved it. SP had a sale so I grabbed 40 3.5 oz tins. I am now done trying any new tobacco or buying anything to fill in, nothing, nada, zip, zilch, I refuse to buy.
Now that doesn't take into account any aged tins I might see at pipestuds or on ebay, single tins here and there don't count as TAD.
It has been over a year since I bought my last pipes and unless something real special comes my way I have no plans on buying anymore. I have 80 something pipes and that is plenty.

Yeah I definitely am buying more tobacco after finishing this next pipe I'm going to attempt to make. That will be it for pipes for me. My wife's grandma is going to be giving me a huge glass doored wooden antique cabinet, ceiling height, so I'm just picturing the amount of tobacco I can cram in there.....
Late last year I finished filling a 12-pipe rack with Stanwell 86s ... though no moratorium is in effect, my PAD is in remission.
In the course of moving not long ago, I discovered the true volume of my cellar, so apart from a little of this here, something new there, my TAD days are largely over. Frankly, with all the panic hoarding going on, tobacco shopping has been losing the fun factor.

WHAT??!!
Chiming in to say that I've also focused more on stocking up on tobacco rather than buying pipes. I've got enough pipes as far as practical need goes (maybe about 10 or 15 briars and a ton of cobs), and am confident enough that pipes will be relatively easy and inexpensive to come by for some time as compared to tobacco. Been mainly stocking my favorite post-2007 blends in preparation for the deeming date enforcement crap.
So my PAD was out of control for years ( upwards of around 40 choice briars, dozen cobs, 6 Meers ), now I limit myself to "1" birthday PAD so I can focus on my TAD but even the TAD has slowed since the cellar is just about right but I do enjoy discovering all those new/wonderful blends. Sav 140TH, love it ( only bought one tin...STUPID ) ugh - damn it is out-of-stock....arrrrrgh
for the time being,I think I'm done with buying pipes and gonna focus on tobacco further down the road.
