First Order from P&C!

[lotharen]

I finally was able to place my first order from Pipes and Cigars! Returned a unused program and used that money to treat myself to some goodies. I needed to have something to look forward to after my surgery this Tuesday! Anything to speed up the ole recovery I always say.
Anyway, I got the Customer Appreciation Sampler with a Free Goodie Box: http://www.pipesandcigars.com/samplers/110974/customer-appreciation-2016-sampler/#p-227241
and the King of Dunhill Sampler, since I've heard so much about that tobacco: http://www.pipesandcigars.com/samplers/77378/king-of-the-dunhill-sampler/#p-137514
Also purchased two pipe kits on Amazon so I can carve my own. A bent Briar wood Block and a Churchwarden style block - predrilled and stems included! I'm really excited about them.
I was just so excited I had to share with all of you! I'll make sure to share my thoughts on the Dunhill and of course take photos of my carving adventure (as long as they look decent, lol)

[lotharen]

@igloo Thanks!

@mcitinner1 Thanks, I wouldn't have known about it if it had not been for this forum!
Thanks for the well wishes too

I'm not sure your doctor would recommend smoking your way to a quick recovery, but I bet you'll enjoy every minute of it!

 

[lotharen]

Lol Dot, I'm sure your right on both accounts!

The Dunhill Sampler is a good choice, just wish it included EMP. let us know how your experiance with P&C goes, I no longer shop there, to many bad experiences with shipping, lay'd it all out awhile back in this thread

@pagan Interesting read there, sorry you had so much trouble with them. What are the other shops you visit? Could you send me a forum mail with them?

 

[ben88]

you had so much trouble with them

well... there have been some strange situations with P&C

Nice haul. May you heal quickly. I believe that enjoying your pipe with help take your mind off of the struggles with healing and therefore ensure a much quicker healing process.

Thanks all! I'm looking forward to trying the Dunhill the most. I don't know much about the ones in the CAS, hopefully they will be just as enjoyable.
I'm really not worried so much about the surgery itself, it's the pain afterward. Just a note to you guys our there - do testicular exams regularly - I've been diligent and thankfully caught something that could very well be Cancer. I pray it isn't but you can never be to cautious when it comes to this kind of thing. Pipe smoking has been a really big help when I just feel completely lost and my stress is high from the whole ordeal. So I thank you all for being so welcoming, I love this forum!
Again, thank you all for the well wishes.

Good to have things to look forward to. That was a good deal from PC. Happy carving on that briar.

@mso489 Thanks, I bought some files just for roughing and shaping. Just have to decide on a shape and go for it!
I'm not sure what those Goodie Boxes might contain but I'm excited to find out lol.
