Free Batch of Pipes for Someone in Need

[connolse]

Greetings,

I read here from time to time, but I do not post regularly.

I have a batch of pipes I no longer smoke, and it seems silly to just hold on to them or try to sell them. I would like to find them a new home, with someone who can appreciate them and care for them.

Perhaps some other pipe smokers know what I mean!

Is there is anyone here struggling with a budget, or who needs to add to a humble rotation, or even who would like to start a new collection? I will send these to you at no charge, not even shipping.

I believe we should take care of one another.

These are just workhorse pipes, nothing fancy.

No picking, and no asking for photos. You get what you get ;-)

2 Viking sandblasts
2 Molina Milano
4 La Rocca assorted
3 Ben Wade rusticated (large)
1 Crown rusticated

They are in decent shape, though those with vulcanite stems need some work on oxidation.

I also have a slightly nicer Castleford, with a small silver band, that needs work to clear some problem in either the stem or the shank. It has never smoked well for me. You may have it as well, if you want to fix it.

Again, not selling, just passing them on. I will feel happy if I know they are loved.

I would prefer an e-mail to connolse@mac.com

Sorry, I don't log on often enough to check replies.

Thank you for reading, and happy smokes!

Very cool. Hopefully the right person receives these and enjoys them for many years.

I love threads like this. Very cool. ?

I have a couple of Molinas and they're decent smokers.

I'am great on pipes but that's awesome. Thanks for putting this out there, it warms the heart.

The pipes have found a new home. Thank you. I feel better knowing they won't just be ignored on my pipe rack! ;-)

You are a true gentleman and your actions are selfless and to be honored by all pipe smokers.

You better just slow down there with your 1.5 posts per year.

What, do you think server space is free?

Just having fun... nana
