pipestud should call her to sell those. 94 years is a long time, but I bet they're smokeable...

That was a fun story! Thank goodness that didn't happen to me -- curiosity would get the best of me,

and I'd end up demolishing my entire house! :lol: I'll bet Phil (Ohin3) would volunteer do it for nothing! :lol:

Foul play! Smokers keep their tobacco accessible. There is a skeleton in the closet....

I'm gonna have to call out the phrase "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." If you do some research for the time peroid I'm sure we'd find an article entitled "How to get your husband to stop smoking." ha, great find.

Perhaps a spousal commentary on room-note.............
Where are the pipes?

I'd be combing that house with a metal detector.

My gumshoe instinct suspects evidence of a theft. Cool story!

Nice score for her for sure. I'd keep about a dozen or so, and put the rest up on the bay, or through Pipestud, and let the money roll in.

Very cool story. I'm sure there's things like this all over..

Stories like this keep my dreams alive. There is a tin of Revelation somewhere out there waiting for me to find it....

[maineyachtie]

Thanks for the follow up article Kevin. I knew she was gonna make a bundle. Anybody on there get a tin?

 

[spartan]

ONLY $20 BUCKS A TIN? She could have gotten more lol
Very cool story and thanks for the follow up Kevin!
I didn't appreciate some of the comments from the journalist:
"Her dad used to enjoy a pipe, but Carol never smoked. That probably has helped her reach age 77. "
"But what quickly became evident is how much demand for the cans exists out there among the smoking jacket demographic."
/sigh Jerk.
