My wife keeps finding estate pipes for me to buy and restore.
I think she does it so I will stay busy and not annoy her.

The blend is called: wives with knives and is 80% latakia and 20% perique...
Someone once told me that latakia was female repellant.
My wife tries to take interest and is supportive until I spend more than $5. She says pipes don't smell as bad as cigars so there's that...

Commanders fund that’s great!! I have always squirreled a little here and there
Like 20 cash back at the grocery store and suddenly groceries were 150 instead of 130 lol
But never thought of naming it. That usually works for B&M purchases on the sly but when an extra package shows up
Not so easy !! She don’t care about a few orders a month of necessary items it’s when I go into hoarder mode
Lol!! But sometimes you can’t pass up free shipping on your entire order if you buy a 99 cent sampler lol

My wife isn't interested but she's aware of my enthusiasm and plays along some. Whenever I crack open a new blend, I almost always get her to take a whiff of the tin with me and give a quick description of what it smells like to her. Same with a new pipe, she listens patiently as I praise or criticize it for just a couple minutes until I go out onto the deck and light up. She's a good sport about it and in return, similarly to Sable, I pretend I like her cats as she explains their worth.
"80% latakia and 20% perique..." -- Wouldn't work for me, eggroll. My wife LIKES latakia....
Yes, serious. She also bought me a $200 meer Bacchus for Xmas one year. (That was in 1980-something dollars.)
As for the bucks, I was off pipes for years while she bought enough fabric & yarn to stitch a life-size replica of Niagara Falls. We don't have a man-cave -- yarn cave instead. So she doesn't say much whenever I get a new (usually new-old) one in. I don't push it too much, though. }

I just had to laugh at Cosmic's knowledge of knit vs. crochet. My wife runs a crochet-centric group which meets at bars, and are thus called the Drunken Hookers. Do not confuse their art for knitting, nor their hooks for needles. It never ends well.
I like to play a game in my head where I answer one post's title with another . . . . All I can say is: disinterested wife? The stinger. Good luck.
Wife fear? Who said anything about wife fear? Is that a thing? You mean fear of being sex deprived? That's definitely a thing.

I just ignore my wife's comments about my pipe smoking. Has worked for 50 yrs so no sense in changing now.
All sound advice especially @Eggrollpiper and the sex deprived part lol hence happy wife = Happy Life!! It’s all good I’m new to this so I’ll get better about being discreet
And my shed is almost closed in and will be climate controlled so I will have my man cave to hide my wares and treasures!! Out of site = out of mind
Right now my Baccy stash is stored on my side of the closet and all my pipes are on the dresser so I think she sees it slowly growing and don’t understand pipe rotation
Or my logic of getting tobacco while we can afford it so if we hit lean times ( probably won’t ) then I’m all good!! Also I firmly believe the government is werking on jacking up
The price again in the near future!!
So I think as soon as I get it out of sight then she won’t notice so much if I get more pipes and or tobacco!! But in her defense in three weeks time I’ve bought 5 pipes and close to
4 .5 lbs of tobacco!! So maybe I need to put the brakes on a tad lol
