First purchase of 2026?

[spearheadbill]

Ok I know someone bought a pipe or tobacco already this group isn’t known for slacking! Who and what is it?

 

[BingBong]

No, everyone is strictly sticking with their resolutions, have faith man.

 

[B.Lew]

Nothing from me yet. I’ve been what they call “professionally restored”!

 

[Dixie Piper]

I loaded up on Frosty Mint and Buoy Gold so there's nothing I really need this year.

Well Bill, thanks for asking. My shopping cart at SP currently contains a modest selection of a few ounces each of a few bulk blends I haven't tried nor need (Exclusive, Winchester, Yorktown). Mind you, this list of tobaccos to order isn't set in stone and is tweaked randomly. The trigger won't be pulled until just the right Pete 301 that I don't need shows up. Currently the pickings are slim.

Happy new year!

I don't know if this qualifies, I saw this cob on eBay Sunday and put a $15 bid on it when the auction closed yesterday, I won.

This was my last purchase of 2025. Late enough certain timezones listed it as the first purchase

That's going out with a bang! Or a great start! I didn't know sets were still available

I picked up a vintage Dr Grabow freehand pipe.

 

[Skyfall]

I made sure to make my last TAD I. My time zone to not be considered 2026.

 

[mspadoni]

Debating on either a dr grabow pipe or some tobacco I haven't had yet.

Maybe both..

When this popped up in my eBay I couldn't resist her charm!

I purchased four estate pipes on the bay that arrived yesterday. So, I'm currently working on cleaning those up. I am also waiting on a decent size tobacco order to arrive.
This Savinelli Churchwarden is one of four that I received.

Old Joe Krantz, of course

 

[MidTNPiper]

Im still shopping, but plan to get a few oz of G&H bulk blends I've never had. Havent clicked it yet, because Id like to add a few tins of 1792 and FVF - which is out at the moment.

I’m trying to resist the 15% off new pipes at SP, as I bought 3 new briars and 2 cobs last month. But seeing as last month was also last year, maybe I’ll buy just one more briar, maybe.

Good thinking. You’re on solid ground with that rationale.

When my financial situation brightened slightly, I went a bit crazy. Talked to Mrs. Wyf and she and I decided to start a 10 year plan to solidify our overall situation and be able to buy a smaller farm comfortably when we hit 65.

End result is not a complete drawdown on PAD/TAD, but definitely not what I was doing the last 3 months. Lol

So please please, no more tobacco company shutdowns!!
